Moody's recent downgrade of 15 of the world's largest banks, along with JPMorgan Chase's (JPM)
multibillion-dollar trading loss on risky derivatives, make it clear

After all the media, regulatory, and congressional commotion surrounding JPMorgan Chase's (JPM)
$2 billion-plus loss on a massive derivatives bet made in its London
office, it now looks like CEO Jamie Dimon's infamous "tempest in a
teapot" comment may have been accurate after all.
