Sorry, we’ve been quiet, but two bil is finally enough to interrupt Jason’s and my days. Sigh.
Poor Jamie – we’ve not lampooned him much around here, and now they’re calling for his head. Not that I think he’ll resign, or that I can ever see the words “What I did wasn’t good for America” coming out of his mouth, or anything. And only (“only”) 40% of shareholders voted to split the chairman/CEO roles. But it doesn’t change the fact that the Justice Department is now looking into JPM’s two-beelion-dollar trading oopsie, that the words “too big to regulate” and “too big to fail” aren’t gone from our vocabulary yet, etc.
But at least the President has JPM’s back, according to some talk show. So, carry on.

Maybe you should consider lampooning him since he seems to make himself an easy target?

This sorta counts, no?

I’d do way more but look at him. He’s just so darned handsome, in a “other bank CEOs are not handsome at all so he’s the best we can do” kind of way.

Agree, Jamie is one hot banker. I liked to make a Bernanke Dimon sandwich.
