Haim, FYI, although you probably know this, Chase has a separate subsidiary called "Chase Capital Partners" for such investments. This is all above-board. Don't forget that such investors typically get in for much less than the IPO price -- hence the risk is very limited. I see nothing wrong with this. Banks and brokers are becoming more like each other. The reclassification, without good reason, of nonperforming assets as performing ones clearly is problematic. I believe it also is against standard accounting practices, if not the law. You made your point on that one. INTCfan
