JP Morgan Acting Proactively Following Indicators!

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.

They also purchased Bear Stearns, the other wall street bank, when they went under and were refused a bailout by the head of the Federal Reserve.

The logic behind the hiring of these loan officers is the mystifying part of the deal. JP Morgan is claiming to be hiring the loan officers in anticipation of when the real estate market turns around so they can most efficiently serve home loan applicants. Strategically positioning these loan officers all across the nation, JP Morgan apparently thinks that the real estate market is about to rebound.

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.

I will stop beating around the bush and just make my point. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have both been waiting to start lending again to maximize their own profits at the expense of the American consumer and home buyers and sellers expense.

They are putting in a place the mechanism to make the real estate recovery emerge suddenly and lift many homeowners out of what would otherwise be a hopeless situation. My question is are you a hero if you present the cure for the disease you have caused?
