$$$ Duff McDonald: Coverage of JPMorgan tends to be all Jamie, all the time. That must have been frustrating, especially in light of the success you and Bill had. Was it? Steve Black: Jamie has got some unbelievable strengths and is as good as anybody in the industry. When the outside world puts an individual like him on a pedestal and thinks that he’s the only person at the company who has any ability, sure, it can be a little frustrating. But that’s not the way Jamie acts. It’s not Jamie’s fault and it’s not because he governs that way. [Fortune]

    Steve Black– is he going off to start a “hedge fund??” Is this JPM’s way to work around the prop desk problem of the Volcker rule– put the business with a psuedo “arms length” hedge fund?

    No it’s not. It’s what we teach at HBS. If you were smart enough, you would have learned that first hand I suppose.

    actually DB commenters are known to tear each other new ones for incorrect spelling and grammar, so, no, it doesn’t.
