Morning Business Memo

Until late last week JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was Wall Street's golden boy: the man who led the banking industry's resistance to stricter government oversight. Today Dimon is facing pressure from Congress and shareholders after the firm's shocking $2 billion trading loss on risky derivatives. Three high ranking officials at JP Morgan Chase are expected to resign this week. They include Ina Drew, who leads the firm's risk management group. Last year she earned $14 million and is one of Dimon's top executives. Some shareholders groups want Dimon's power to be reduced along with the appointment of an independent chairman. More than three years after the financial industry almost collapsed, the huge trading loss has been seized on by critics as proof that big banks still do not understand the threats posed by their own speculation.
