      JPMorgan and the Concentration of Risk
      <quote>
      Should the country enter a “severe” recession ... the company would find itself with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio that would be quickly approaching 7% ... When compared to its peer’s capital ratios, ... we would see that JPMorgan would have the lowest capital ratio of them all should events unfold in such a manner.

      Is the author of this article suggesting that if USA enter a “severe” recession, only JPM's Tier 1 Capital Ratio would be impacted adversely while all the other banks' would not?

      Moral of Bear Stearns Debacle: Don't Buy What You Can't Understand
      This article appears to be written before the announcement of JPM raising the bid for BSC.

      The author may have a point on investors being irrational, under the microscope of behavioral finance theory.

      But I do want to point out those "irrational investors", who paid $6 a share for Bear, doubled their money in a week. The author should be glad that he could not find BSC to short.
