A word to the wise. When stockholders look for a CEO, be sure the bonus is based on market share and the number of jobs the business supports, not simply pocket change on stock prices.

Oh, there is the issue of "Too Big to Fail," too. The only example that clearly illustrates that idea is "The London Whale." The investment profile was far to large to be managed. JP Morgan should have sold off investments to reduce it's management footprint.

Ask how helpful that would be to stabilize the investment portfolio of universities and even USA treasury bonds. I think the USA is still downgraded, right?
