Justin Fox devotes a page to the success of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase and attributes that success to their being better at what they do than their rivals are [Aug. 3]. Yet nowhere does Fox explain what they do or how they contribute to the economic well-being of this nation. Is that because the constant cycle of consolidations and spin-offs does nothing but assuage the egos of CEOs and enrich the executives and employees of those two firms?

...Perhaps the “aughts” are the ’80s for the Padres and they’ll be turning the ship around in the teens. They certainly have the young talent to do that. Guys like Adrian Gonzalez, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Chase Headley provide some pop in the lineup, assuming the Padres can hold onto them.

...Well, cold cash money doesn't seem to be doing the trick too well either. On Tuesday, July 28, executives from firms such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo were invited to a meeting at the Treasury Department for a little pep talk about increasing the number of loan modifications. Officials at Treasury, along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD; co-host of the head-knocking session), have been underwhelmed by the rewrites. The government's original goal was to get more-affordable monthly payments to 3 million to 4 million borrowers. As of mid-July...
