It is good to see that Dimon is a member. As I have written in the past, I actually believe he has a very good grasp of what is actually going on in the economy (One of the very few). He is also tough enough to speak his own mind to Trump.
I am not so impressed with others on the list and there are others whose thinking I am not familiar with.
If the economy is to be saved from total crazed measures, it may only be because Dimon is a member of this forum.
