Reuters Jamie Dimon's Ahab moment

JPMorgan’s Ahab has met his Moby Dick. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon has toiled at length to build a bank strong enough to withstand the greatest of storms. The $2 billion hedging hit the bank disclosed late on Thursday will put JPMorgan to the test. Its capital buffers may be safe for now, but the ramifications are apt to be broader.

Jaimie Dimon tells his crew they're to look for the white whale. Who on American Pequod doesn't want to follow and grab that gold coin Ahab/Dimon hammered onto the mask.

wouldn't make a pimple on a real Ahab's ass. Ahab was insane, but he could throw a harpoon with the best and never enchanted his crew to seek a fate he was unwilling to suffer himself. Dimon is what you get when Pip the cabin boy takes the helm. The ship merely goes aground and sinks with all hands and for nothing. It misses the opportunity to a least die in legendary combat with the White Whale.
