Bank earnings kick off with JPMorgan blockbuster
Friday, October 12, 2012 - 06:59 Spencer Platt/Getty Images People pass a sign for JPMorgan Chase & Co. at it's headquarters in Manhattan on October 2, 2012 in New York City. JP Morgan Chase, one of the bellwethers of the global financial system, has reported a record profit for the third quarter.
