Recession Busting; The JP Morgan Way!

News broke just today that JP Morgan will be hiring 1200 mortgage officers across the U.S. For those of you who are not familiar with who they are, when the recession really started to hit hard JP Morgan was the bank who purchased Washington Mutual and offset several billion dollars of its own tax liability in the purchase.

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.

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.

With everything revealed, I think it will be profoundly obvious that JP Morgan, and the only other remaining Wall Street bank, Goldman Sachs, have been working diligently to establish themselves as the exclusive source of credit, before turning back on the spigots of credit.

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!
