    Everyone else may be fleeing the eurozone but JPMorgan (JPM -2.5%) has upped its lending to the area to $15.9B on Nov. 17 from $14B at June 30. The bank's long and short exposure is "huge," CEO Dimon said yesterday. "Maybe it’s $100B by $100B" but he forgot the exact figure. Good thing JPM's got a "battleship balance sheet."

    "Dimon said yesterday. "Maybe it’s $100B by $100B" but he * forgot the exact figure.* "

    He forgot?
    I guess he should ask his staff before speaking to the press.
    Maybe he would prefer us not know!

    It's not the first time that Dimon "forgets" numbers before he talks publicly.
    I would also like to see see how JPM hedged this bet.
