JP Morgan Chase is off 3.42 to $37.31 a share. After the close yesterday CEO Jamie Dimon in a conference call revealed the bank had suffered 2 billion dollars in trading losses in London. A single trader dubbed the “London Whale” reportedly took massive positions in credit-default swaps. Dimon said that the losses could deepen this quarter and beyond. Sometimes whales get harpooned. |
