JPM - JP Morgan

Honestly, I liked that he was candid and spoke freely, and I felt it made him seem more relatable and human, and less of a doublespeak platitude-spewing machine than some other CEOs that act like they are politicians. But that might just be me, and I'm not a shareholder...

and I am a shareholder. I think that this is true leadership - warts and all. Candor is a endangered species in today's business / political world, and for me Jamie Dimon is aspiring to Warren Buffett's habits of simply saying it how he sees it. He's a lot less polished, of course...

Dimon Says JPM Can Buy Back ‘Substantial’ Stock in 2013 and Meet Regs

Oct. 12, 2012

http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowatchtoday/2012/10/12/dimon-says-jpm-can-buy-back-substantial-stock-in-2013-and-meet-regs/?mod=yahoobarrons

 

Jamie Dimon told investors on a conference call after the release of its third quarter earnings that the bank should be able to buy back “a substantial amount of stock” and still meet Basel III capital requirements in 2013

 

....

 

Dimon also sees more improvement in the housing market — he expects that the $500 million or so that the bank now spends each quarter on excess mortgage servicing costs will eventually disappear completely

I dug into the hedge, and it actually looked to be a synthetic long...the loan to deposits is something like 80%, and think the idea was to synthetically create income through this trade until natural loan demand increased....not investment advice.

Some short video interview with Tom Brown of Second Curve about JPM's earnings,... and also some talk about BofA.

 

JPMorgan `Whale Has Been Buried,' Thomas Brown Says

Oct. 12, 2012

Paul Miller in that video talks about a $2.5b pre-tax settlement "hit" as if it were a setback, when the bank under discussion (BAC) is trading for a $170b pre-tax discount to book value.

Barney Frank, of all people, says that the government going after JPMorgan for misdeeds committed by Bear Stearns "fits the description of allowing no good deed to go unpunished". He also thinks Bank of America should "probably be shielded from government legal action related to Merrill Lynch".

I am stunned that a politician would actually say something this sensible.

JPMorgan to Cut 19,000 Jobs in Mortgage Unit, Community Banking

 

 

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-26/jpmorgan-expects-headcount-to-fall-by-about-4-000-this-year-1-.html

 

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), the biggest U.S. bank, plans to reduce headcount by as much as 19,000 people in its mortgage and community banking businesses by the end of next year.

 

The company expects 4,000 job reductions this year, the New York-based lender said today in presentations on its website. Those reductions will occur almost entirely through attrition, said Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for the lender. The mortgage business will shrink by 13,000 to 15,000 jobs through 2014, while community banking excluding mortgages loses 3,000 to 4,000 jobs during that period, the presentation shows.

 

...

 

 

 

I swear all the big banks were complaining about the lack of mortgage bankers a few quarters back...

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon sought to hide escalating trading losses that surpassed $6.2 billion by misleading investors and dodging regulators as the bank's position deteriorated last year, a Senate probe found.

 

The largest U.S. bank “mischaracterized high-risk trading as hedging,” and withheld key information from its primary regulator, sometimes at Dimon’s behest, according to a report today by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The 301-page document also shows how managers manipulated internal risk models and pressured traders to overvalue their positions in an effort to hide growing losses in a “monstrous” credit derivatives portfolio in London.

I hope this causes a sell off like the whale last year.  I'd love to buy a great company that is being sold due to what I perceive as irrational selling.

Great company? Irrational selling?

 

Management hid massive losses from their own regulators, lied to Congress and the public and the CEO/Chairman boasted to an analyst in public "that's why I'm richer than you."

 

I don't know what "great company" means to you but JPM is run by Wall Street cancer.
