JP Morgan

Chase has always been in one of the most reliable banks in America. In recent years, economy has been improving, and we can see some new jobs getting available to people. But before the fall in 2008, the stock market for chase was high 40.66 and low 38.88, but as the fall started to come, it went down to 37.65(high) and 36.15(low). The difference in the economy affected everyone, because their market was on stock market, and the stock market crashed. The bank initially did receive TARP funds of $25 million, but they repaid all of their funds because they now look at TARP as investment, and insisted that the taxpayers could actually make money on the bailout.

while the revenue dropped  from previous year, a decline in customer losses highlighted improving financial circumstances for both business and consumers as the economy started to improve. Their net income was risen to $5.56 billion during the first quarter of the year, and they also reported that it was $3.33 billion in 2010. But still they were able to cut funds by 83%. JP Morgan Chase's first quarter revenue did fall by 8% to $25.8 million, and the bank's retail division lost $208 million. 

Apart from all the downsizing and receiving funds from TARP, Chase had shown me that they are getting back on track by returning the money, so that other people can invest in them, and maybe help other countries that are still struggling with the economy.
