JPMorgan Chase Posts $3.3B Quarterly Profit
-------------------------------------------



The financial giant JPMorgan Chase has posted a $3.3 billion
first-quarter profit, a 57 percent increase from last year. The firm has
received over $25 billion under the taxpayer-funded bailout. In related
news, students from this year’s graduating class at Syracuse University
have launched a campaign to cancel a commencement address from JPMorgan
Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. The students say they oppose Dimon’s appearance
at their graduation because of his company’s role in the nation’s
financial meltdown. An online student petition has gathered 900
signatures so far.
