That makes it $19 billion over the last year. I'd like to think that equities might provide a haven, but that's because I read Candide at an impressionable age...

What I really want is for JP Morgan to go belly up, so their proposal to out-camp Canary Wharf here in the Barbican can die along with them. It can't be too far off. When an investment bank denies that it ‘applied pressure’ on the New York State by threatening to move from Manhattan to Connecticut you know the end is nigh. When it claims that it was not looking for massive subsidies in exchange for its decision to remain in Manhattan, and that it did not use its political and financial muscle to obtain them, you can start ordering the funeral baked meats. FFS, that's what investment banks do! Bugger.
