Well the dog-and-pony show that was JP Morgan Chase shareholders meeting came and went. If you blinked, you probably missed it. Jamie Dimon’s heart-to-heart with his shareholders lasted a whopping 50 minutes on Tuesday. Apparently that was all the time he felt he needed to trot out the same apology speech he gave on Meet the Press, and then duck […]

When my staff and I started working on compiling our list of Dirty Dozen banks, I realized there are many questions that the list does not answer. The fact is all of us need to dig deeper, and educate ourselves to obtain a further understanding of the current culture of Wall Street if we are to do anything about fixing […]

He claims he want to get rid of “Too Big To Fail”, […]

Well what a wild week it has been. When we came to work on Monday we feared President Obama would put the housing crisis to bed without ever holding the banks’ feet to the fire. The settlement with the banks, which we have blogged about ad nauseam this week, seemed as sure as a chip-shot field goal. But thanks to […]
