JPMorgan Chase has admitted that losses from botched derivatives trades had soared to $4.4bn, but still earned an overall profit of $4.96bn.

“This has shaken our company to the core,” CEO Jamie Dimon said on Friday. Dimon said he believed the loss was mostly contained.

“Mostly contained” means “we have no idea.”

  1. Actually, it is up to $5.8B now… My guess is that it will hit somewhere between $8B and $10B before the dust settles.
