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.
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.
Where are they getting their signals from? The media has only projected more doom and gloom so they must be privy to information that is much more optimistic than what most of us are reading or hearing. With bailout money in their pockets they must be priming the pump for their next big business leap.
To be blunt, the only 2 remaining Wall Street banks have been holding bank the credit industry in order to put in place the perfect rush of business that they will be perfectly positioned to capitalize on. This does come to a staggering cost at the expense of the American consumer and many small businesses.
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!
