JPMorgan Chase Trading Lower Due to Madoff Allegations

Posted on February 04th, 2011 in India Shares, inthenews, investors observer, JPM, jpmorgan chase, Madoff, options, Ponzi Scheme

Filed under: , , ,

JPM logoJPMorgan Chase (JPM – option chain) stock is trading lower today after reports have surfaced that senior executives at the bank expressed doubts about the returns of Bernard Madoff’s investment business as early as June 2007, 18 months before Madoff’s Ponzi scheme collapsed. An internal e-mail from a high-level risk management officer within JPM reported that another bank executive “just told me that there is a well-known cloud over the head of Madoff and that his returns are speculated to be part of a Ponzi scheme.” Despite the suspicions, JPM continued to allow Madoff to move billions of dollars of his investors’ cash in and out of his Chase bank accounts until he was arrested for the Ponzi scheme in December 2008. If you think this cloud of suspicion could keep a cap on JPM’s stock price in the coming months, then it could be a good time to look at a bearish hedged play on JPM.

This morning, JPM opened at $45.00. So far today the stock has hit a high of $45.17 and a low of $44.50. As of 12:20, JPM is trading at $44.65, down $0.81 (-1.7%). The chart for JPM looks bullish and S&P gives JPM a positive 4 STARS (out of 5) buy ranking.
