By

The Wall St. Journal is reporting that JPMorgan is planning to raise $5 billion in capital to rid themselves of TARP once and for all. Does the House of Dimon get out from underneath the government’s paws or not? Discuss.

    Speaking of A2M…btw 9AM & 5PM, Mon-Fri:
    This is just too good. One of the features of Microsoft’s just launched Bing search engine is that it auto-plays videos in results when you hover over them. Naturally, the first thing a number of people, like Loic Le Meur, did was search for “sex” or “porn.” The results are majestic — if you’re a teenager looking for a way around porn filters on your computer. And this isn’t artful porn or something like it, it’s straight-up, hardcore pornography.
    Now, to be fair, to see these results, you do have to manually override the adult filter on the video search, but that’s a whole 2 clicks and doesn’t require that you actually verify your age or anything. The Bing team on Twitter is already warning users about this following Loic and other’s tweets about the issue. But the results literally speak for themselves. If you’re so inclined, go ahead and try, it’s one hell of a way to browse porn. Straight porn, gay porn, you name it. It’s all there, ready to auto-play.

    OK, that was not funny. But don’t bring EP back. EP is not funny either.

    JPM must have hired Dick Bove as their front-man for the $5 Billion stock sale. Why else would Bove be out there pumping bank stocks today?
    They’re just trying to get the last few dollars of potential out of those JPM shares before the Bear rally ends.

    Guest@#2…
    You sound like a pubescent kid in Jr. High. Why would anyone on DB care about “overriding the adult filter on the video search”.
    Give it up, kid. Talk about being off topic. There’s no mention of A2M (WhateverTF that is) on this thread.

    Sure, they’ll let them pay the TARP back. It’s not like they don’t have a million other ways to control the banks.

    TGFD seems to have been reborn during his 2 week retreat. Is there such a think as an evangelical dealbreaker commenter?

    Guest@#15…
    Perhaps TGFD wasn’t clear in my post. No evangelism. My point was that most DB readers are 18+ and have no f’n use for the adult filter.
    That is, I’d like to think that most of you are. TGFD could be wrong, though.

    Guest@#22…
    TGFD says, “It ain’t so” but with one small caveat:
    That f’n explosion caused a lot of damage to the trailer, and for 2 weeks, to any observer, TGFD could easily have been confused with a homeless man.
    No waterboarding, but life here after the blast was a shambles and getting worse daily until TGFD’s eventual reclamation.
    I’m sure you can just imagine the embarrassment I felt as I tried to explain my unfortunate situation to many locals who stopped by and asked, “TGFD, what happened? The trailer’s all blew-up.”
    Thankfully, all is now back to normal, and I’m just trying to get acclimated.
    Thanks for your concern.
