I think what you've seen them do recently in the markets is what most of us learn doesn't ultimately work. But I think everyone has to figure that on their own.

More quotes by Jamie Dimon
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.
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
Good regulation should be conducive to business and to customer protection.
Jamie Dimon
Manipulating currencies is when you're going into the marketplace and buying something in large amounts to depress the value of the currency.
Jamie Dimon
It's good for America when the rest of the world grows, because you can sell more to the rest of the world.

I hate the word universal, because I don't know exactly what it means. The question is, does it work for the client? Travelers was a diversified, financial conglomerate that did very well. The businesses had nothing to do with each other.
Jamie Dimon
We continued to build the business, even in the worst of times. We do business all over America.
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.

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
We invested in the downturn and we never stopped serving our clients.
Jamie Dimon
It's great that people get together and collaborate, talk about the facts and the analysis, all in the interest of having a great financial system.
Jamie Dimon
I advise other companies' CEOs, don't fall into the trap where you go, 'Where's the growth? Where's the growth?' Where's the growth?' They feel a tremendous pressure to grow. Well, sometimes you can't grow. Sometimes you don't want to grow. In certain businesses, growth means you either take on bad clients, excess risk, or too much leverage.
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
More people are working, lending is up and savings are up. These are all positive signs for a strengthening economy.
Jamie Dimon
I was a normal human being, but I did like that. I read a lot. I also liked math and science.

I haven't studied it deeply, but the American banks started the crisis with far more capital and what I would call good liquidity. The riskiest funding is unsecured wholesale funding. It's the most fickle. Not repo, which the government focused on, too. Unsecured. JPMorgan Chase had almost none of that - virtually zero.
Jamie Dimon
One of the issues with some of these lenders is going to be, where will their provider of credit be when there's a crisis? That's why some of these smarter services, to support their operations, are courting more permanent capital. They want a source of longer-term funding that can survive a crisis.
Jamie Dimon
We had a lot of gridlock on a lot of issues. But, the American system is pretty resilient.
Jamie Dimon
You read constantly that banks are lobbying regulators and elected officials as if this is inappropriate. We don't look at it that way.
Jamie Dimon
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.
