Let's get this on record. The Morgan profit increase occurred BEFORE Daley went into the White House.

...Yet lately the No. 2 U.S. lender (click title to entry - thank you) has lagged behind its less impressive peers (see chart, right). Though the bank has gained market share in all six of its major businesses since the financial crisis erupted in 2007, says Mike Mayo of CLSA, the stock is trading at a discount to its historic valuation....

Morgan was the ONLY investment bank that was solvent going into the financial crisis.  Morgan has never been as big on profits as other banks.  They have already had lower stock prices that have been 'in reach' of the small investor.  It has always been a fairly 'bet' when it comes to investing and this is no surprise when one realizes it was solvent AFTER it absorbed the failing banks that were failing left and right since 2007.
