Their profit margins have sucked arse. Takes more and more leverage for them to make profits like they used to. THIS is a huge problem.

I've worked for three separate banks, but keep telling us how they are run and that they are above the law and don't follow regulations/laws.

JPM does NOT play by the "rules."

I don't like to call someone an idiot but in this case it's appropriate.

You're an idiot.

JPM is LESS leveraged now than it was TEN years ago as demonstrated by all of its capital ratios. (I seriously doubt you comprehend what capital ratios are but they represent how much capital a bank has to "lever" its assets.)

JPM's capital ratios are significantly HIGHER now than they were ten years ago.

It has a Tier 1 (look it up, but it's the primary ratio bank regulators look for a bank's legally required capital) capital ratio of 13.8%, which is almost double what it was at the end of 2008, 7.2%. The minimum required ratio by the Comptroller of the Currency (the main bank regulator for large U.S. national banks) and by the international banking Basel Accord is 6%.

JPM's total debt/capital ratio is half what it was 10 years ago, 2.4 versus 4.8. LINK

You're just talking out of you arse, as usual.

Did I mention you're an idiot??

Trust all the numbers you would like to trust and believe everything Jay Powell and Trump say too while you're at it.

YOU are a gullible sheep.

Why don't you share with us the numbers you use, and their source, for your claim that JPM is more leveraged now?

Let's see 'em.

Or, do you just make them up in your head to justify your paranoia?

Every time you post you lose more and more credibility....

Says the guy who refuses to provide a source which supports his claim that JPM is more leveraged now. You really do just make up numbers in your head, don't you?

I updated my spreadsheet around 7:30 this morning. The rankings didn't change very much so I didn't post an update. I'll post an update this weekend as of close of trading today.

But since you're so curious to ask about them, you dropped one spot from 39th to 40th out of 56 players. Feel better?

Due to so many New Years' resolutions pertaining to weight loss this trade is always a good one to put on at the first of every year. The first two earnings reports of the year are always spectacular and close to 20% of the float is sold short so you can catch a bit of a short covering rally and if you are not 100% confident it will be a huge beat you can hop off right before the release of the earnings reports. Report is due out 2/27 according to Schwab. Today is actually a good day to buy as it is down a couple of percent as I put this out there.



This is INCREDIBLY good insight. Oh, wait, I have another idea that's similar to yours.

Buy Apple before Q4 earnings report because they sell more iphones during christmas season therefore boosting numbers. Fcking bullet proof investing.

It's Christmas Time, everybody's uptight. Pork Bellies prices have been dropping all morning, which means everybody sittin' in they office waitin' to rock bottom so they can buy it cheap and go long, so the people that own the pork belly contracts are going batshit, we losin' all our damn money, Christmas is around the corner, I ain't got no money to buy my son the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip, and my wife ain't gonna make love to me because I ain't got no money, so they're sittin' there and they're panicking, screaming "Sell! Sell!" because they don't want to lose all their money, they're out there panicking right now, they out there, I can feel it. They're panicking, look at em! I'd wait 'til it get down to 64 then I'd buy. Clear out all the suckas by then.

They have been trying to get em' up through SPX 2600 most of the week. AMZN and AAPL are holding SPX back. VIX is right here just a stone's throw away from its 200 dma.

I normally enjoy reading your contrarian, technical trading posts but think you may be overreaching a bit here. This type of shite belongs in the poly board Q thread.
