At the time, I highlighted how firms like Citigroup Inc (NYSE: C), Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE: WFC), and Bank of America Corp (NYSE: BAC) served as the “financial backbone” of the American economy. They rise and fall with our country’s ability to make, save, or transmit money.
The favorite in question is JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM). The company benefits from a nearly unrivaled combination of scale and scope within the United States, allowing it to earn outsized profits over its peers.... more
