Jim is shorting JP Morgan. He said: "Their off-balance-sheet derivative positions are among the top three in the world, if not the largest. The bank’s credit-card loans also are a disaster waiting to happen." Stock may rally as it has gone down so much. But it is a bear rally, which is the conventional wisdom today.
