Dimon becomes the accidental media mogulJamie Dimon's J.P. Morgan has amassed significant holdings in several struggling media companies. Will he be able to help turn them around? Dimon learns lesson from MullalyJamie Dimon's plans to allow Treasury to auction off J.P. Morgan Chase warrants is as shrewd a decision as Ford CEO Alan Mullaly's refusal of a government bailout. Mr. Dimon goes to Washington?How bad would the upcoming fourth-quarter earnings call have to be for J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. chief Jamie Dimon to jump ship and join the Obama administration? The answer: a horrific loss that would force the government to intervene akin to the Citigroup Inc. bailout last month. The odds of it happening? These days, anything could happen. However, most Wall Street observers don't expect such a deep loss, but no one told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed who thinks Dimon is Obama's likely pick for the secretary of the Commerce Dept.... Gasparino: Bringing Jamie Dimon down to earthCNBC on-air editor Charlie Gasparino's latest column for Tina Brown's Daily Beast makes an intriguing prediction for the new year: The current king of Wall Street, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., is headed for a fall. Is it true, or just the wishful thinking from Gasparino's Wall Street sources? ... Treasury horse race oddsIf you are a betting man, then US News & World Report's The Home Front blog provides the odds of some of the oft-mentioned contenders for President-elect Barack Obama's treasury secretary. ... Why Lewis, and not Dimon for Banker of the Year?Trade publication American Banker has announced its Banker of the Year, and on Dec. 4 Bank of America Corp. CEO Ken Lewis (pictured) will formally accept the honor (for the second time) at an awards gala at the Plaza Hotel. Might this cause some folks to roll their eyes? Likely since, after all, Lewis was the same guy who had the audacity to appear on "60 Minutes" last week and tell Leslie Stahl it was his patriotic duty to take an investment from Treasury Department. Since one of American Banker's reasons for choosing Lewis, who first won the award... Wall Street, Paulson and the race for TreasuryOver at MarketWatch, an old colleague of ours, David Weidner, has up a column pushing J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s Jamie Dimon as an Obama choice for treasury secretary -- a treasury chief in the mold, he argues, of the great Henry Paulson. This is the second column in the last day or so -- Steven Pearlstein in The Washington Post was the first -- that treated Paulson as if he were some conquering hero. Which tells you how much a boffo day on the stock market can shape perceptions. ... Will the government's capital plan encourage bank consolidation?Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's plan to invest $125 billion in the nation's nine leading banks is intended to send a clear message to the credit markets, but the hastily planned investments prompt a slew of questions. In short, Treasury's effort to "destigmatize" troubled institutions by also buying into healthy banks means the latter could put that capital to work in an offensive, rather than a defensive, fahion. That could mean more acquisitions between have banks and have-not banks. Paulson is undoubtedly aware of this "side effect," which may in fact be intentional. After all, he didn't give troubled banks... Today's J.P. Morgan candidate? Jamie DimonEarlier in the week, I picked apart a New York Times story comparing investor Warren Buffett to financier J. Pierpont Morgan Sr. Maybe the Times could have made a better case that Jamie Dimon, the latter-day chief of the House of Morgan's successor bank, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., is his true heir -- at least that's the impression given by The Wall Street Journal, CNBC and various bloggers. ... Does Dimon see eye to eye with T. Boone Pickens?Is J.P.

Case in point, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s rumored interest in acquiring a commercial bank -- specifically a Southern bank. The original target of the rumors was SunTrust Banks Inc.
