May 23, 2013
Excerpt from TheStreet.com -- "'There are plenty of vendors but no one has the functionality and experience and knowledge that's gone into their products like Bloomberg and Thomson," said Vasant Dhar, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and director of its Center for Business Analytics.

Executive-in-Residence John Biggs on Jamie Dimon as both chairman and CEO of JPMorgan
May 21, 2013
Excerpt from Reuters -- "First off, his record is unbelievably outstanding. And I don't think there is anybody that can add value to putting in and somehow confusing the role. Jamie Dimon is an incredibly hard-working, able, there is nobody even close to him in the financial world in terms of his ability to run that enterprise. And it just clutters it up to force somehow a chairman. In fact, I think it could probably only hurt the company, in the sense that it would just confuse who is in charge."

Prof. Karen Brenner on the JPMorgan shareholder vote for Jamie Dimon to remain both chairman & CEO
May 21, 2013
Excerpt from CNBC -- "I think in general, the idea of having split roles can be a good thing, but that doesn't obviate the need to think through the particulars of every single case. And in this case, there is absolutely no reason to call for splitting the roles. The company has performed in a stellar fashion and even when it suffered the loss from the London trade, the company was forthright in dealing with the problem. So I think that's the best you can expect from any company."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "There’s nothing wrong with Apple taking advantage of tax loopholes. Where Apple has screwed up here, is bragging about it and raising the concern and complaining about it. If you’re able to have some of the lowest tax rates in the world, while being the most profitable company in the world, you don’t go in front of Congress to complain about it…He [Apple CEO Tim Cook] is justifiably going to get mauled in front of Congress."
