&l;span&g;Bank of America Corp. is scheduled to release earnings before Wednesday&s;s open. The stock hit a record high of&a;nbsp;$55.08/share in 2006 and is currently trading near $31/share. The stock is prone to big moves after reporting earnings and can easily gap up if the numbers are strong. Conversely, if the numbers disappoint, the stock can easily gap down.
