Bank of America Corp. is getting ready to announce  a big share buyback, according to analysts. 
According to Sally Pope Davis of Goldman, Sachs & Co., the buyback could  be as big as $10 billion, or 150 million shares, which would be 8.5% of the   shares outstanding.   
  
Investors bought shares on talk of a buyback, forcing a brief halt in  trading as market makers sought sellers. Bank of America ended the day at   $66.1875, off 0.9%.   
A spokesman said Bank of America president Ken Lewis told investors at a  meeting Thursday that "management would be recommending a capital   management plan at the board's meeting in two weeks."
