There is a higher risk of a serious fall in US stocks than is currently being reflected in the market, the head of JP Morgan has told the BBC.
Jamie Dimon, who leads America's largest bank, said he was "far more worried than others" about a serious market correction, which he said could come in the next six months to two years.
In a rare and wide-ranging interview, the bank boss also said that the US had become a "less reliable" partner on the world stage.
He cautioned he was still "a little worried" about inflation in the US, but insisted he thought the Federal Reserve would remain independent, despite repeated attacks by the Trump administration on its chair Jerome Powell.
Perhaps I read into the structure of your comment too much but it really looked to me like you were making a definite statement about it and not simply contrasting the two options. Apologies if that was not your intent.
Guessing intent is too difficult to do in a two sentence comment. I always try to just go with what what is explicitly written.
In this case I was just responding to the original commenter saying saying he'd take JP Morgan advice with a grain of salt due to the Saudi-EA deal. The morality of JP Morgan being involved in that deal doesn't really factor into evaluating whether or not Jamie Dimon may be right in his public remarks about the future of stock prices.
An evaluation of the morality of that deal would be relevant if I were deciding whether or not to do business with JP Morgan, or to buy anything from EA.
