We got a lot of excellent people and businesses from Bear and WaMu. But Bear definitely was more painful. WaMu got us into Florida, California, and other states, which was a huge benefit - to expand and grow and add middle-market, private banking, investment banking, and other products, too.
Jamie Dimon
We've accommodated the new rules and regulations. We've served our clients and had quite good returns.
Jamie Dimon
Companies that build scale for the benefit of their customers and shareholders more often succeed over time.
Jamie Dimon

Jamie Dimon
Just because you have a good hand today doesn't mean it's good tomorrow. And some of the things we're doing may become very disadvantageous at some point.
