CHASE that money!

"In no other industry is skin in the game as important as it is in banking." To begin honestly and up front, anything relating to stocks isn't exactly my strong point. Buying, selling, and trading stocks aren't my idea of fun. But learning more about the things I own and use on a regular basis is something I can do research on, and putting money where your mouth is is is something worth looking at.
In Ancient Rome, there was an issue with this when it came to building architectural buildings and bridges. A way to fix this problem, they placed the builders of these bridges stand and spend time under them to ensure just how much faith they had in their own work. Later on, the English saw this method and decided to take it a step further by making that engineers family stand under their bridges as well! Although this was an extremely reliable way of getting what a customer pays for, it's safe to say we have a better way of doing this: with trust, so here's why I choose to invest in JPMorgan Chase Bank.

John Maxfield writes his article on how important it is to have "skin in the game" when it comes to stocks and trades; it is even more vital when using this type of thinking with banks. So why choose Chase? In a nutshell, one of the most important things to look for when working with money is trust. A good way to ensure that is to see how much the executives of these banks trust their own money and risks; and Jamie Dimon, as far as I'm aware, has the most stocks placed into his own institution. As CEO and chairmen or Chase, there is a minimum requirement of owning at least one million shares. Being the over achiever that Dimon is, he not meets that requirement but is almost seven times that amount; see what I mean by skin in the game? The company is doing very well on the market, and due to the people running it, it seems it's on a pretty fair pace. As a customer of Chase, I have full faith that our family has made the right choice with our bank because otherwise I'd be worried if we didn't! I'm confident in my decision to invest in my stocks, not only because it has benefited to my advantage, but also because I have the trust behind it to ensure everyone has skin in the game to reap these benefits.
