well,.. Warren Buffett is NOT the person to claim any expertise beyond branding.. BUT,.. to your point Chase is NOT a Central Bank. There are many different types of derivatives. Commodity Futures are just a derivative. I'm sure you are not seriously suggesting 'we' outlaw something 'cause it sounds dangerous. Derivatives are an effective Hedge to mitigate risk... in this case interest rate risk and Chase Bank is REALYY good at it. Hence, lowering risk, especially the more important risk of greater volatility of interest rate risk is better (and safer) business.

knock it off with your lies!
Dimon's 'comment' about a succession plan was an answer to valid shareholder concerns. Chase bank is projecting better Net Interest Income on larger than {other banks} Equity. Investors want assurances that Chase will continue to be managed as well beyond 2026

Yes,.. this was/is expected. PLEASE!!! do NOT infer that this means a commercial bank is "in trouble." Wells Fargo has too many branches - and too many unproductive employees. This is a good sign -and inevitable - for this bank.

Furious?! - it depends...
may I use it as property tax assessment?

ZERO!... nada.. neit... NOT one bank (or S&L) defaulted!!! knock it off!
yes, a few banks have been "taken over" and some marketable assets, have been liquidated at a lower price, causing a (short-term) kink in the yield curve.

if ya' know - ya' know -- but I do not see that here.

I buy alcohol so it forces an interaction with a person. Clever, huh?! 😜

ahem!,.. who (or more precisely: what) are you calling "small"?!

yeah, I try to block all those "looking for sex" followers; but thousands seems like a LOT of clicks -- even for an unvaxxed {hi-IQ} sperm donor. 🫣

I am who I am, but enough about me. We are not FALSE prophets. From my own experience, I was twice tested in HOA meetings with "are you one of those Qanon conspiracy {mongers}? I shrugged.
In a phrase they said: 'never mind what you could do for the association - we do not like you!'

LOL - the echo [chamber] of crickets.
I have grown used to the relative comfort of quiet chirping. The mob with torches and pitchforks is much more vociferous.

That is so funny -- thank you!
I too when I was just cutting and pasting that -- frankly to be 'cute'/clever... I thought of that pun.

Be aware of false prophets.
I am not a prophet.
You are not a prophet.
We are not prophets.
Focus on the mission.

I feel like this is just another Pig singing lesson.
Every time I read this 'gain of function' crap,.. or worse that I get a free mortgage; it leads me conclude there is no credibility anywhere.

recently I considered another angle on the value of the Q drops.
This specific drop is very -VERY- consistent with my thoughts!

no wonder I do not want to get on a plane anymore. I don't even want to get in an elevator with a 'dude' looking like this.

I know this is a little difficult to understand, as 'public' education has dumbed everyone down - especially regarding financial acumen. Do NOT confuse Central Banking with commercial banking. FDIC is self-insurance! Therefore, even if a Q-Team/whitehat operation were not in control, your deposits in a US bank will be just fine. All cash wealth is subject to an unconstitutional inflation tax. {see the Fisher effect} -- some commercial banks may face more stress than others, but again - fear porn regarding your savings is real and terrorizing.

A Lib-tard would say that is not equal because one person got two pieces... Then again today's Socialist (aka Malthusian) would say that the answer is that there is one too many people and the single knife stroke should be used to kill the blond boy.

read that - carefully... S-L-O-W-L-Y:

What future does a revival tent clown expect?!

I truly ask this:
Why must 60% remain private?
With redaction(s) does it not promote a moral hazard??

easily done... erase the STUPID corporate income tax - just another piece of low hanging fruit.
