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.

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.

If the government wants to do social policy, it should not be done in a quasi-public company. If you have a mortgage guarantee company which is done by the U.S. government, it should be guaranteed by the originators, i.e., the shareholder.
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
My operating assumption is we will always have very tough competition. And even with some European banks struggling right now, some of them can reemerge - and maybe even stronger.
Jamie Dimon
The government has the right to change laws and rules and regulations.

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.

Unraveling the euro is a terrible thing. This is a 50-year endeavor to get this continent together and that's a wonderful endeavor.
Jamie Dimon
If you have the choice, it's far better to say, That person has the job, and they really don't need that much of my oversight. Maybe they don't need any of it.
Jamie Dimon
I am not embarrassed to be a banker. I am not embarrassed to be in business.
Jamie Dimon
We take smaller companies and middle-sized companies, all around the world, and we do currency exchange for them we raise bonds and equities for them and we do inventory finance, trade finance, and custody of assets.

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.
