Dimon Part Deux

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon returns to Capitol Hill, this time to get grilled by both Democrats and Republicans from the House Committee on Financial Services. @morningmoneyben, @vgmac, @moorehn, @clusterstock, @ABWashBureau and others comment in the Twittersphere.

  1. Barney Frank: Hearing is not about JPM but about effort to re-deregulate derivatives
  2. Chuck Schumer passes out the campaign hat to Wall Street. No wonder he was so docile with Jamie Dimon last week. politi.co/Li9gJE
  3. Barney Frank: "Not all institutions have a fortress balance sheet. Some have a picket-fence balance sheet, or a chain-link balance sheet."
  4. Even Barney Frank makes sure to note that Jamie Dimon is a "well-regarded chief executive." The Dimon halo is bright.
  5. Capito: A less well capitalized firm, could it survive? also we have 5 regulators here, why didn't anyone notice this? #JPM #WSJ
  6. Maxine Waters demanding to know whether or not $JPM has been treating the Whale humanely
  7. CORRECTION: Barney Frank, not running for office any more, uses Dimon hearing to ask for REGULATION of derivatives.
  8. Maxine Waters: financial industry lobbying is #1 reason so much of Dodd-Frank is left undone. (wonder if regulators agree with that) #WSJ
  9. Garett spotted laughing after attack from Frank.
  10. Rep Michael Capuano says Dodd-Frank "MADE ME A MOVIE STAR IN INSIDE JOB." Yes, he's yelling it.
  11. I love the House for just this reason: Rep. Michael Capuano raging about the Red Sox/Too Big To Fail in short sleeves. This ain the senate
  12. Bachus to regulators: You can see we're not ready to break into kumbaya #WSJ
  13. Overall housing starts dropped because of the very volatile multifamily sector. No real change here. Improving off very weak levels.
  14. Dimon unlocks the Feigned Humility badge on Capitol Hill today #foursquare
  15. Just as House members have something to prove today, so too does OCC's Curry. His performance last time was awkward and weak.
  16. Will someone tell me when CSPAN is back up? In meantime, webcast here: bit.ly/oMaTMw
  17. Gensler making a strong pitch for Dodd-Frank derivatives rules needing to apply overseas. Financial industry doesn't like that idea #WSJ
  18. Derivatives are already a much bigger focus of today's hearing than it was last week. See my hearing preview: americanbanker.com/issues/177_116…
  19. Dimon 2: Electric Boogaloo. If last week wasn't enough, @hibahyousuf live blogs House $JPM hearng. Regulators up now. bit.ly/Lz4xBM
  20. Never let a good crisis go to waste. RT @morningmoneyben Gensler focused on making sure swaps reforms cover overseas branches of US banks.
  21. 10:18 am: via CNNMoney: The OCC's Curry says the events at JPMorgan do not threaten the broader financial system.  Under current market conditions, JPMorgan's effort to manage its position is not creating an unusual risk of contagion to other banks. Examiners have reported that there is no activity similar to the scale or complexity of JPMorgan's at other banks.
  22. RT @vgmac: Gensler making a strong pitch for Dodd-Frank derivatives rules applying overseas. Finl industry doesn't like that
