JPMorgan Chase went to Vegas, put it all on red and lost $2 billion. OK not exactly, but close enough. You may have heard this week that the country’s biggest bank reported $2 billion worth of trading losses from just the past month and a half.

Traders made bets on risky derivatives — and lost. Gee, does this sound familiar to anyone?
