Recession Bursting; The JP Morgan Approach!

By Gavin J. King

With defaults on the rise JP Morgan is apparently hearing the beat of a different drummer, as illustrated by their recent announcement that they will be hiring over 1100 new loan officers this year. Just in case you missed it, JP Morgan is the Wall Street bank who purchased home loan behemoth Washington Mutual for a fraction of their worth, when the real estate market collapsed, with tax payers money, of course. Does that jog your memory? Pretty sure it helped out.

Also on their procurement list was fellow Wall Street bank, Bear Stearns, who was denied a bailout by Goldman Sachs Fed Reserve Head, Ben Bernanke and buddy Hank Paulson.

JP's main strategy states that the new loan officers will be strategically placed across the nation and will work from local loan hubs and banks. The part that escapes me is the rationale behind hiring at the point in the economy. With the stated justification being that the real estate market could be turning around and beginning to show signs of improvement, JP Morgan simply wants to be in the best possible position for the home loan clientele. That is not an exact quote but you get the idea.

All of this leads you to ask exactly what are they seeing that so many other are apparently not seeing? They are hiring when it seems every other business is laying people off? For the majority of people, this is illogical, unless they know more than everybody else somehow.

To get to the heart of the matter, I will make my main point. The largest banks in the U.S., including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, have been deliberately holding back on funding to create a sense of urgency on the real estate market for buyers and sellers.

Given that these kinds of illogical moves are typically seen when the CEO of a company dumps his stock the day before the company goes public with some bad report, we may be seeing the end of a suppressed real estate market very soon! - 23162
