shocked in last 24 hrs to witness widespread JPMorgo hatred
I am referring to Wall Street, major press outfits, senior journalists, fellow brokerage analysts
only to be echoed by media heads
I was truly surprised to hear the uniformly acerbic comments directed at JPMorgo from numerous corners
dont get me wrong, they deserve all of it and more

they are now being labeled as deceptive, secretive, dishonest, bully, arrogant, corrupt, and not honest in their disclosure to shareholders
the biggest theme was poor disclosure
they dont break down their businesses with reported data
they dont report squat on their derivative (unregulated) business
I kept hearing "investors dont know what they are getting"

they are a conglomerate financial whorehouse comprised of Manufacturer's Hanover (Manny Hanny), Chemical Bank, Chase Manhattan, and the core JPMorgan
what a colossal failure

the only sad part is that Chase was a sterling outfit
they never should have conceded to the merger

I believe the merger of Chase in the final amalgamation of titans was a defensive tactic devised so as to ward off serious derivative book calamity
they were able to pool resources and capital in order to meet the strict requirements according to the CFTC
AND NOW THAT CALAMITY IS HERE

the Wall Street guys are not openly discussing the derivative events awaiting JPMorgo
that is next
ironically, these guys are all upset about events to date
the best is yet to come

all this negativism has profound implications on federal assistance and bailouts, since the public will not stand for rescue of a company steeped in Enron fraud (ongoing investigations) with blatant efforts in hiding debt (almost boastful) and thus deceiving investors out of $60 billion in good money
the brick wall seen in the court ruling on Surety Claims is only icing on the cake, shutting down JPMorgo
this rebuff only serves to continue painting JPMorgo as criminal

bailouts dont happen when companies are seen as criminal
end of story
