“First of all, like I mentioned, how you evaluate people is their analytics, it's their brain power, it's their EQ, it's their heart, their soul, their culture carrier.”
“Not just Goldman Sachs, who's doing a great job, if you didn't read their numbers this morning, because I did, you've got Stripe and PayPal and Cash App and Block and Chime and SoFi and Revolut, and they're good.”
“They bullshit about M&A when they should be focusing on why they're not doing particularly well in an area or something like that.”
“No one has all those things in a perfect way, and some of those things you learn, and some of those things you get better at.”
“I do think you might actually see a slowdown in growth, maybe a slowdown in 2027 or 2028.”
“Like resolution did not work.”
“You guys are the guys who know so much about this that should be making some of these recommendations to the regulators.”
“I think it's part of the reason why banks failed, if you go back 20 years ago.”
“You can't just say, "Well, your ROE is going to go to 50% and stay there." If we had a 50% ROE and growing at 10% a year, we'd probably have, in 50 or 60 years, you'd probably be 100% of the GDP of the United States of America.”
“The ultimate beneficiary of AI will be our customers.”
“The board made a decision to go ahead with making two co-presidents, which will be preparing them to do far more at the company, be prepared.”
“You want it across the whole company, not weighted to investment banking or trading or just big CEOs, but also weighted to the fact that we've got 300,000 employees around the world.”
“I do also want to point out, maybe you could be ahead of other people, kind of, but what always happens is the benefit accrues to the customer, not to JPMorgan in this case.”
“If they think we should hold more capital, they should ask us to hold 10% more, and I'd be happy to do that.”
