JP Morgan's Annual Shareholder Letter

I don't know how I missed this. Jamie Dimon lays out a summary of the banking crisis so well, his letter should be required reading for all investors and business students:

From page 23: We believe our nation can and should be able to provide health care coverage for all. It is the right thing to do, it will help us build a stronger nation, and, if done properly and efficiently, we believe it ultimately will be cheaper than the current course we are on.

I love the fact that Dimon is for subsidized health care coverage. Almost anything seems better than our current system, which has created massive future entitlements while failing to cover millions of Americans.

Let's not forget--according to most reports, Sandy Weill, the former CEO of the now-disgraced Citigroup, didn't get along with Jamie Dimon. Mr. Dimon should be quite happy how things have turned out.

More on how to avoid another banking crisis here.
