Corporations are issuing debt aggressively taking advantage of these record low interest rates. JP Morgan (JPM) is taking advantage of their tremendous financial strength and is gaining market share as the number one underwriter. Because JP Morgan has been able to stay in tact after the “Great Recession” they have benefited greatly as their competitors have been forced to retrench, and cut staff more aggressively. JP Morgan has incredible earnings power so as the issues with this trading loss are resolved, I’d expect to see the stock do quite well. I do however believe that both Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) offer a better value do to the much cheaper valuations.
