LARRY'S VERDICT
" JPM lends your money. Visa moves your money. Both profit either way. "
JPMorgan Chase is the largest US bank — lending, investment banking, retail deposits and trading all under one roof. Visa is pure infrastructure — it cannot lose because it charges a fee on every transaction regardless of who wins or loses. Jamie Dimon versus the payment rails of the internet. Larry doesn't leave anyone without warning — but also without a recommendation. The choice is entirely yours.
