Do You Believe the Report on Chase’s Loss?

Recommended Posts

Do you believe the report on chase’s loss?

 

Somehow my guts feeling telling me that they have even a bigger loss but I don’t believe a word that this loss was caused by a legit bad trade, I believe they did something illegal and trying to hide behind the story of a bad trade if this loss happened on 2008/2009 I would believe that but now?...while the market is stable and one timeframe up?......No way

 

Don’t be surprised if you hear a chase manager disappear or die all of a sudden from a heart attack….

yes I do believe it. Losses can occur in stable markets, I also think that they will have more losses to come.

It is probably exactly as they say that happened. ie; we used more leverage than before, traded bigger than before, were sloppy, thought we had enough risk controls to trade bigger than before and what the hell we will get bailed out....we learnt nothing and arrogantly thought we knew better

Basically they f...d up

 

I think this article covers most of it

 

JPMorgan Chase discloses $2-billion trading loss - latimes.com

 

so no I dont believe in the conspiracy theory, but each to their own.

Fed policy is such that it encourages aggressive trading in US banks. The fed lobbied in favor of banks being allowed to continue trading derivatives in the OTC markets when Dodd Frank was being drafted. The Fed contends that US banks need to be able to take risks in these markets to be able to be competitive with other global banks.

 

Something like that.

why jail.....so far it seems that they were trading and lost money.....and it was always likely to be bigger than first reported.

Has there been issues of criminal behavior?

If they have not done anything about MF Global which stole money from customer accounts do you think they will do anything here?

It is getting closer and closer to my prediction

 

JPMorgan disclosed possible misconduct to feds ahead of earnings

6:08pm EDT

NEW YORK - In a matter of days, the two-month-old criminal investigation into a $5.8 billion trading loss at JPMorgan Chase & Co. -- known as the "London Whale" blunder -- was transformed from dormant to potentially explosive.

From what I've heard... the loss was just that... a huge F****** loss.

 

Think about it....if they had done something illegal.... wouldn't it be to like... oh, I don't know... NOT lose???

 

No one cheats to get themselves snookered by 9 billion. And besides, I heard about the trader MONTHS ago on the newsfeeds and other financial sites I check out. Was referred to as the "London Whale". In fact, it was known by the trading community before even JP MORGAN realized the situation that he was basically just a fool who was totally out of control.

 

He had been offsetting such large, sophisticated positions over the past few years in many markets, but for the last 2 years, he was profitable. immensely so (to the tune of hundereds of millions in profits that his trading personally generated). So, JPM felt to open up the floodgates this year and give Bruno and others access to more funds to do what he did best = use a hundreds of millions to make a hundered million. He had held positions into the billions before, and had come out smelling like a rose and making over $100 million last year doing it. (or was it $80 million. no matter. a LOT of money)

 

So he, AND JPM, thought they were hot stuff. Thought they knew something. Thought they could beat the market.

 

No... maybe poor oversight, or maybe even some fraud with not disclosing the loss earlier (thought they may not have been able to know how big it actually would be, due to his positions being so complex)... but no fraud in losing the money.

 

Just another couple traders who thought they could beat the market, and forgot to respect risk while doing so. Rookie mistake TBH. Only difference between most guys on this forum, and Bruno/JPM, is the number of zero's behind their losses. Nothing more, nothing less.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
