Bloomberg's Market Commentary

Go to this link, http://finviz.com/news.ashx , scroll down on the left to 5:22 am and you see this headline; Saudi Shares Advance on US Confidence, China Pledge.

JPM is the US' largest investment bank. They are Too Big To Fail. $!00b in worthless, if they prove to be, asset-backed securities means nothing to the good doctor. He can monetize those losses at the speed of light.
