PornstarVirgin

The thing is 3.9T in assets(other people’s money) is very different at the end of the day than 4B in profit/your own money. Comparing it to AUM is disingenuous


Lightweight_Hooligan

That 3.9T was taken from investors and converted to FTDs years ago


Foogbum

Assets for a bank is their own cash/financial instruments. Deposits are liabilities because they dont have a right to it and have to pay it back


PornstarVirgin

Outside investors that JPM manages is a MAJORITY of other people’s money BESIDES the much smaller amount they manage.


Ctsanger

Is 4.5B a lot for JP Morgan


YurMotherWasAHamster

Article says they had $49.6 billion in profit last year, so roughly 9% of that figure. Although, it's not as simple as a 9% haircut on their profit. Banks don't like seeing their profit margins squeezed, so as credit card defaults rise, you can expect they'll increase interest rates (there or elsewhere) to compensate. Credit card interest rates already average close to 25%, which is historically very high. Rates were more like 12% to 14% a couple decades ago.


PrismosPickleJar

Out of interest.... i just checked mine, 13.9%


YurMotherWasAHamster

I don't even know what mine are, because I never carry a balance. Banks hate me. Sucks for most people, though: [https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/average-credit-card-interest-rate-in-america/](https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/average-credit-card-interest-rate-in-america/)


UninsuredToast

My credit score has a massive jump during the few years I was keeping some debt and letting interest add up. Then when I get my shit together and catch up on all my debt my score fucking drops


spank_that_hedge

That's because they want you in debt, they want you paying interest for your entire life. You being in debt keeps them in caviar. Pulling out of the debt system and living debt free was the single greatest decision I ever made.


Catch_22_

I don't carry a balance - pay statement every month, but I noted that when I have a big run up on my card my credit score jumps 20-30 points and credit karma tells me I'm awesome, then it's paid and my score reverts and credit karma tells me I fucked up. Ha


BaronVonMunchhausen

I get the opposite. I get a notification my credit has dropped for high utilization, even when I pay it off every month. And it's a big hit as well, like 20 or 30. I've not once carried debt or paid interest and I hover between 780 and 750 credit score. Are you sure that what is dropping your credit is not the agencies catching up with that high utilization from the previous month?


allrico

You don’t have enough credit then. If you have 200k in cards, and you run up 20k, your utilization isn’t going to take a hit like if you’ve got 40k available and you run up 20k before paying it off.


Catch_22_

You outlined it correct. I'm floating in 810 to 840 a month. The only hit in my credit is they want me to open *more* accounts. Probably to increase my odds of carrying a balance.


Catch_22_

Yes, because it sits in the low 800s for months with a few grand in usage and spikes when tens of thousands are racked in a few weeks. After payoff it drops again. I'm referred to as a deadbeat and they punish you accordingly. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deadbeat.asp


bluesquare2543

your credit score is not always for your benefit


astarastarastarastar

This is me, haven't carried a balance in almost 20 years! You're probably familiar with it already but if not look into **churning**, (fyi there's a sub for it but I think if i link to it from here I'll get in trouble for some stupid brigading reason) so just search. Basic idea for those not in the know is you constantly have 3-4 credit cards that you milk the rewards from and then cancel after you get the benefits. If you checkout nerdwallet they have all the best offers available at any given time so just do it based on what you want...planning a trip? do some skymiles cards, need to finance a big purchase for a year or two? Get a 0% interest card (usually at least 12 months, but often 18 months - just make sure you can pay it off with monthly installments, its an interest free loan!). Or just want to get cashback from the banks? Get a cash back card...most will have a period during which you hafta spend a certain amount (ie. earn $300 when you spend $3000 in first 3 months). So for those you put away your debit card and any other credit cards and throw everything on this new one to get the reward. My spouse and I have been doing this for a decade now, we make about 3k a year off it! Because FUCK the banks that's why to da moon 🚀🚀🚀


FatWreckords

They earn plenty of money on your transaction fees and data


YurMotherWasAHamster

That's minimal compared to people paying 20% to 25% APR every month by making minimum payments.


PrismosPickleJar

I just use mine as a debit card and clear it weekly. I dont need the credit, just the insurance.


YurMotherWasAHamster

Similar concept for me. I use my credit card for everything so all my purchases are on that statement and I just have that one bill each month for all of it. Keeps my checking account statement uncluttered.


SasparillaTango

that shit is a myth. Banks make their money from the merchants who are charged a % to use their payment services.


YurMotherWasAHamster

Actually, it's not. I never said that banks don't make any money at all via my credit card use, which is what you're inferring. They hate people like me because it's far, far, far more lucrative for them when people carry as high of a balance as possible -- as long as they don't default.


ColdCruise

I got very sick during covid (not covid related) and was essentially unable to work. I had to put a lot of expenses on credit cards, and they switched my interest rates to 29.96%. I have been paying $500+ a month on credit cards and only lowering my balance by like $30. I went from $0 in credit card debt and a 750 credit score to $15,000 in debt and a 520 credit score. I tried to refinance the cards with a loan, but I was denied everywhere because I was paying so much in credit debt. They didn't care that the loan would take the place of the credit card payments and that my $650 rent was way too much. Now, my best option is to stop paying on everything and just wait for them to make me an offer at a lower price. The whole system is fucking rigged. If they hadn't raised my rates so high, they would have made more money faster, and I wouldn't have a fucked credit score.


Resologist

If you're in the States, consider: [https://www.nfcc.org/](https://www.nfcc.org/) If you're in Canada, consider: [https://nomoredebts.org/](https://nomoredebts.org/) If you don't belong to a credit union, check them out. They're more likely to offer a consolidation loan to eliminate the credit card debt, (than banks or finance companies would).


sebadc

I see what you did there... Well done.


georgiomoorlord

Mine's 24%. The UK has a typical APR of 29 on these things. America hasn't got there yet and still struggles to pay off their plastic.


PrismosPickleJar

Im in New Zealand. Price of everything in the Uk is mad now. Last time i went back i was blew away at fhe price of pints, and rent. I can't believe the cost of living is better here now, and dont even get me started on insurance.

basketcase57

They have $3.9T in assets but it will hemorrhage them and drive their stock down a bit. **edit** rewording


PaulVla

Anyone who checks if they have this or if they can ‘locate’ $3.9T?


33rus

They have 3.9T in assets, alright. They just go to a different school, so you don’t know those assets.


WiglyWorm

Isn't JPM the one who had a load of rocks in a vault somewhere that were supposed to be copper?


sirstonksabit

Nickle, and yes.


realcarmoney

Shit was wild. Nickle squeeze occurred and they reversed trades. You can find people who are swapping their cash for rolls of nickles right now


manifestingmoola2020

Are you fucking kidding? My grandpa said thered be a nickel squeeze like 15 years ago and gave me a huge box of nickels that i eventually took to the bank cuz i thought he was crazy..


Brooksee83

"FoRgEt AbOuT nIcKeL", I guess... 😅


realcarmoney

You can order them by the box at the bank. Just call ahead and they'll order it for you. Just don't dump it back at the same location you got it from. They may not make orders for you. I pick up coins at my banks and dump at my credit union. Credit unions have coin machines for use like constar near me just walk in and do it yourself

jdubbs84

I lol’d at this, thanks.


WRL23

Also assets are generally considered illiquid.. like yeah I have a house, doesn't mean I can have equivalent cash tomorrow if shit hit the fan. Further, they may define 'having assets' as literally just something they're financing.. which to me is more so illiquid. So sure they might have 3T 'assets' but if it's dependent on other people paying mortgages do they really have it? ..we all know the circle of life with money and leveraging shit left and right so it depends on how risky vs actually owning shit.. the same way the normies or even small investors (like a slumlord) can get caught in a shit storm. But banks are too big to fail so fuck you tax payers


A_Guy_Named_John

I'm an accountant for a different GSIB that has fewer but still over $1T assets. They do indeed have and can locate them.


kidcrumb

They have $3.9T in assets, but that's client funds they manage. That's not money they have access to.

No. In the quarter prior to this one, they stated they can absorb $514bn of losses.


darthnugget

$4.5b so far… $510b to go.


purplebasterd

Probably an uptick, but for a bank that big with the total value of the loans in its portfolio, I doubt it’s putting in much of a dent. I worked at one of the larger banks that’s still a fraction of the size of JPM/Chase when comparing total assets. The loans that just our team accumulated for our bank’s portfolio, for a specific asset type and from a specific originator, were in total almost the size of this loss. I imagine what we had is a drop in the bucket to what JP Morgan has in its portfolio’s loans and debt. The loss increase is numerically significant enough to notice but not about take out Chase. If anything, this number is good for clickbait without context or to provide insight to Chase’s analysts about where there might be some turbulence in the economy right now.

With that attitude they will. Personally I absolutely believe they'll face consequences and I'll have the money to do something about it.


Investmore4Life

You mean our friendly neighborhood government will find a way for us to bail them out again ...


Then-Veterinarian-41

It's already been planned for a long time, it's called "bail in" where they seize deposits and give back a fraction of the value . This will happen on a global scale when bank failures become endemic

ShaneKingUSA

Ken griffin in 2008 used our entire economy & pension funds into an algorithm that started feeding him billions and billions a year. You can only fake the system so long. He's building a $4Billion bunker in Florida. He's the biggest financial terrorist this country has ever seen. Citadel increased NVDA position +4000% Q1 2023 Q2 2023 PREMARKET shares jumped +43% on less than 10,000 shares traded. From Q1 2023 > Q12024 citadel has made $1.6 Billion in shares alone, not including options. It's a scam for wealthy to steal from the poor. He bribes next 100 people in charge and all involved live a life of luxury, travel as they oppress the 99% & blame them.


PointyDaisy

Wouldn't Florida be an absolutely terrible place for a bunker? How is he going to deal with the water and hurricanes intruding in?


ShaneKingUSA

Look it up. This is 999 million 3 1/2 times over. He can build and purchase anything he wants. Hurricanes are nothing to our military nuclear fallout bunkers I don't believe?

He'll no the rise sea levels will put the entirety of the state including Tallahassee underwater by 2080. Unless he plans on using a submarine to get in and put of it he's a fucking idiot 🙄 but hey we all know about the wealthys track record with submarines.

Well...we don't talk about how/why that tech was moved from top secret to public. If I were a betting man, I'd say that ai language models are not new. That the NSA has been using them for quite some time to process all the massive hoards of data they collect. And that language models have been "moved" to the civil side now for a reason. And yeah. Apes very well may be that "reason".

It's kind of impressive how the banks manage to lose money. The only thing they need to do is lend out money and manage transactions, but they always end up doing some risky/illegal bet while trying to rip off their own customers, only to have said bet blow up in their own face once a decade.

LemonadeAndABrownie

I have recently stopped doing any business with JPMorgan Chase. Their staff are utterly incompetent and their business policies range from archaic and outdated to outright absurd from a business and profit-making standpoint. They're unable to retain customers and clients. For the same reasons, I stopped doing business with BOA roughly 5 years ago. If it weren't for a series of bailouts they would have both entered bankruptcy a decade ago. Divest at your earliest convenience, even as a consumer level customer.
