As countries get wealthier - all of them, together - you're going to have financial assets. That is a good thing. You could argue the assets were traded too much, or that they're too highly valued, or too leveraged.

Finance went from being a small business, effectively, to being a big business. In part, that's the growth of the world's wealth. That's called savings.

Part of the reason some Japanese companies have underperformed financially was corporate governance and board structures.

If you went to all those little towns in America, JPMorgan was there in good times and bad times, and, in fact, helped a lot of people through the tough times. And we know that's when they need us the most.
Jamie Dimon
Usually, something that is fairly expected is already factored in. I also think that you have to think that America is raising rates because the economy is getting stronger.

My father and grandfather were stockbrokers, and they would actually take stock certificates from a vault, give it to a runner, and send it to another vault. Then somebody said, Let's digitize it and have one vault. Now the DTCC clears and settles almost everything, and the cost of doing a trade is a tenth of what it was before.

Our investment bank looks like it does because its customers like our expansive network and want to do equity, debt, M&A, custody, move money, deposit money, et cetera.

I have gotten disturbed at some of the Democrats' anti-business behavior, the sentiment, the attacks on work ethic and successful people. I think it's very counter-productive.

Our plate is full. We have a lot to do building our company organically and that is our key focus.
Jamie Dimon
Companies are returning a lot of money to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. And a lot of people say that's not a good use of capital. I think that's normal reallocation of capital.
Jamie Dimon
When the government gets involved in pricing, I don't think it's the right way to look at a business.
Jamie Dimon
I think the politics have gotten better in the United States, which makes it easier to pass legislation, budgets and treaties.
Jamie Dimon
JP Morgan always has higher capital liquidity, that is partially to make up for mistakes and problems and obviously its a tough economy. We support an oversight committee, we supported some of the compensation, new compensation rules, though we already follow most of them. We support a lot of it.
Jamie Dimon
You've seen certain credit type products that are going to be in nonbanks, like sophisticated CLO [collateralized loan obligation] tranches and stuff where the capital charge is so high that a bank simply will not own it. Someone will buy it, hedge it, trade it. But it won't typically be a bank.
Jamie Dimon
I completely agree with the concept that American citizens shouldn't expect that a failure of a bank would cost them money, or that it would hurt the economy.
Jamie Dimon
If you were a corporation needing financial services, and I can give you something better, faster, and cheaper across 12 products as opposed to eight, that's business. I'm doing it because I'm serving you I'm not doing it because I want to be universal.
Jamie Dimon
We're diversified, we're stable and consistent. Our businesses benefit from each other.
Jamie Dimon
All our clients know that we're there, we're steady, we do a good job, we earn a fair return for ourselves, which I think is critical.

Their [American banks] big issue will be if they want to deal with the biggest companies, which are doing a lot of business overseas. How they do that is a big question. It's almost impossible to build a global investment bank from scratch. If they want to do that, they probably will have to do an acquisition.
Jamie Dimon
If business doesn't thrive, it hurts America. We need improved relations, more collaboration, more thought and more consistency as we go about trying to make sure we have the best country in the world. Not scapegoating and finger-pointing.
Jamie Dimon
The third arrow (of structural reform) is critically important. Japan has some of the best companies in the world, and if you look at their technology, their capability, it's extraordinary.
