Not quite that small -- more like a $2 bill against that $100 bill. Not quite a pimple on an elephant's ass, but still not anything that would induce people to think JPM is solvency threatened.

I bought the stock Friday afternoon (and have been rewarded with a further 3% drop today!)

The real story is that, once again, a model that was supposed to be foolproof turned out to fail spectacularly in a tail event (and not even an extreme tail event). Sooner or later, bank executives will figure out that you don't manage risk with models -- you manage risk with real live risk controls and compliance monitoring.
