Who is John Galt?

Precisely so.

damn straight

I don't think Ms. Caroline Baum, really knows Mr. Rearden...

Exactly right Kh !!!

JP Morgan took 5.9B in discount window (straight up theft from the american people disguised as a loan). Mr. Dimon, you sir, are no Hank Rearden.

How does one separate out the cronyism aspect, which he was clearly not opposed to, to the real accomplishments of the man? JP Morgan Chase made incredibly bad mortgage decisions, which in turn, affected thousands upon thousands of homeowners. Did they take advantage of the discount window? that is, accept monopoly money at a little over 0 % interest and loan it at at 2-3% ? Brilliant. The Federal government feeds and bites those who have their hands out. Finally, he should be on trial for being a democrat and voting year after year for stealing from hard working americans and benefiting personally. He probably is groaning at the comparison to Hank Rearden.

Glad to hear it. :-) I love snow. The leaves are changing here, actually for about three weeks, no snow yet.

Most likely so.

All good here. Snow on the mountains and the leaves are turning.

Glad you liked it.
How are you lately? I feel like I've been on the moon! Not much time to pop in and hang out. :-(
