Recent news posted stating that JP Morgan was hiring 1200 loan officers at locations all across the nation. In case you did not know who they are, they are the wall street bankers who acquired WAMU to get out from under several billion dollars worth of tax money they owe to the government. Sound familiar? I thought it might.
They also purchased Bear Stearns, the other wall street bank, when they went under and were refused a bailout by the head of the Federal Reserve.
With JP Morgan hiring these loan officers and positioning them across the nation, one is left to wonder why they would be doing this during the greatest recession to hit the globe in at least 25 years. The explanation is that when the real estate market turns around JP Morgan wants to be positioned to best service home loan applicants. With most projections putting a real estate recovery about a year or more out, are they looking at some indicator most of us are missing?
My question is what do they know that we are not hearing from the media? They are hiring when it seems every other business is laying people off? That does not make any sense to me, unless they know something not many other people do.
I will stop beating around the bush and just make my point. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have both been waiting to start lending again to maximize their own profits at the expense of the American consumer and home buyers and sellers expense.
With the timing and apparent boldness of a bank robber, they are staging a real estate recovery that will help many homeowners. But, is it really helping someone when you stop causing the problem they suffered from in the first place?
