The preparations hit all the banks' profits in the quarter. JPMorgan expects unemployment rates to remain at double digits into 2021. Fortune

    Yes. I am currently net long options and net long equities, so I am providing liquidity, lending $ to market makers and other traders.

    Very reassuring sir. Exact same words my broker told me back in early 2000 when I was loaded with dot com stocks.

    He also said this time it was different, a new era, like when the printing press was invented.

And since C is a $5.00 stock but reve\rse split 10 times/ I seldom pay attention to them.WFC may be setting aside much of that for losing lawsuits. ……………………………………………………………………………….

    They didn't paint a rosey picture though.

    Wait until we hear from all the small / medium regional banks. The contrast will be stark.
