Out of nowehere, JPM announced 40 minutes
ago that it would hold an unscheduled 5pm call to coincide with the
release of its 10-Q. Rumors were swirling as to why. The reason is as

- JPMORGAN SAYS LOSSES ARE IN SYNTHETIC CREDIT PORTFOLIO - but, but, net is NEVER, EVER Gross.
- JPM WOULD NEED $971M ADDED COLLATERAL IF RATINGS CUT ONE-NOTCH
- JPM WOULD NEED $1.7B ADDED COLLATERAL IF RATINGS CUT 2 NOTCHES - how about three notches?
- JPMORGAN: MAY HOLD SOME SYNTHETIC CREDIT POSITIONS LONG TERM - "Level 3 CDS FTW:
Stock now down 5% after hours dragging down ES 7 points with it.
