JP Morgan Chase began trading on October second at approximately
three hundred fifteen United States dollars and fifty three cents,
after closing at nearly the same price the day before.
During the past twelve months, the stock has climbed more
than fifty per cent and is now trading very close

is investing heavily in technology, with plans to spend about
