Friday 9:05 AM With a record of poor shareholder returns, why do the TBTF banks (JPM, C, BAC) even exist, writes Sheila Bair. Capital markets certainly wouldn't finance such "unstable behemoths" if it weren't for their de facto government backstop. Jamie Dimon can provide a better return to shareholders by recognizing his bank is worth more in smaller pieces.

- Thursday 11:50 AM Bank Q1 net profit rose 23% to $35.3B - the highest since Q2 2007 - as revenue rose 3.1% to $169.6B, the FDIC says in is quarterly report. However, loan balances fell $56.3B (0.8%) after three consecutive quarterly increases. Lower provisions for bad loans were a factor in the profit improvement. (PR) [Financials]
- Tuesday 12:22 PM Despite some individual names being taken out and shot, the consumer discretionary sector (XLY) continues a near year-long trend of outperforming the S&P, notes Bespoke. The weakest sectors - energy (XLE), industrials (XLI), materials (XLB) - suggest maybe slowing in China is driving macro more than events in Europe.
- Monday 8:10 AM JMP Securities cuts the TBTF banks due to the European crisis, with analyst David Trone's base case scenario (60% chance) seeing a Greek exit, but no contagion. He sees just a 10% chance Greece stays in the EMU. That leaves 30% for exit, but with contagion. [Financials]
