"You know, I said there's storm clouds but I'm going to change it … it's a hurricane," Dimon said Wednesday at a financial conference in New York. While conditions seem "fine" at the moment, nobody knows if the hurricane is "a minor one or Superstorm Sandy," he added.

"You'd better brace yourself," Dimon told the roomful of analysts and investors. "JPMorgan is bracing ourselves and we're going to be very conservative with our balance sheet."
