Bank of America's quarterly earnings are always headline news, but they shouldn't be.

Matt reminds investors that the long-term investing thesis is unlikely to change every quarter. David notes that although the incremental improvements in Bank of America's expense line will not look substantial, over time, those changes can be a huge boon for shareholders over a stretched out timeframe.
