If so, then the only people who have any right to complain are the share owners of JP Morgan stock. I'm not sure why the government is even involved since JP Morgan appears to be well capitalized even with the loss.Catch Her in the Wryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052541966405145087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-10860868837688532972012-06-15T04:55:30.015-04:002012-06-15T04:55:30.015-04:00What on earth is this blog. hehehe.So funny.

The manager hounded me to the door with sweetners to stay at JPMorganChase and queries on why I was leaving. My explanation of how they had screwed up my account did not register. Finally, at the door, I turned and yelled for all to hear: I Hate New York Banks. I hope the manager understood that.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-78331363523356033812012-06-14T13:15:06.210-04:002012-06-14T13:15:06.210-04:00Okay, now even my hair hurts.Okay, now even my hair hurts.AstridsSoapboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765645879431056941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-66974281551614054462012-06-14T11:19:06.200-04:002012-06-14T11:19:06.200-04:00How dare you apply logic and common sense to an is...How dare you apply logic and common sense to an issue as big as that which affects the US economy.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-73094801631135431242012-06-14T08:51:04.839-04:002012-06-14T08:51:04.839-04:00Amen Joe!

It was because the financial service industry got so big and consolidated and powerful that they lobbied themselves into having virtually no effective oversight. They were given the green light to blow and go! Kinda blew up in their (and the taxpayer's) face, didn't it?<br /><br />They need to be broken up into their various parts, with only the ones that accept consumer deposits (the old fashioned bank) getting a government (FDIC) guarantee. The rest...if they do something dumb, they fail. Let their shareholders, not the taxpayers, take the hit.<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.com
