Jamie Dimon says he's not retiring from JPMorgan Chase for 'several years'
Don't expect JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon to step down anytime soon. That's still 'several years away,' he said on Monday.
'I love what I do. I love my country, and I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't fighting for something every day,' he said in a Fox News (FOXA) interview. Dimon kept the door open to staying on as executive chairman of the board after stepping aside from the top job.
'It's up to God and the board,' he added.
Last year, Dimon said he would retire from the CEO job within five years. He has helmed the nation's largest bank for nearly two decades and is among the longest-running chief executives on Wall Street. JPMorgan's stock has soared 500% since Dimon became CEO in 2006, the Wall Street Journal reported.
JPMorgan Chase reshuffled its executive leadership team at the start of 2024, handing some key executives 'new and increased responsibilities' and installing new leadership in other critical divisions — many of whom have stood out as potential replacements for Dimon.
In the Fox News interview, the JPMorgan Chase CEO warned of more turmoil in bond markets if investors wary of the nation's growing debt shun the American dollar.
'If people decide that the U.S. dollar isn't the place to be, you could see credit spreads gap out; that would be quite a problem,' Dimon said. 'It hurts the people raising money. That includes small businesses, that includes loans to small businesses, includes high yield debt, includes leveraged lending, includes real estate loans. That's why you should worry about volatility in the bond market.'

Pennies are going away: Are yours worth money?
The U.S. penny will no longer be minted, leaving many people wondering if it's time to get rid of extra coins or boost their collection before fewer are found in circulation. President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Treasury to stop minting pennies because their production cost exceeds their face value. While scrapping pennies is illegal, you can check in with your bank or other institutions to cash in pennies, although they will remain legal to spend. Here's what to know. Generally speaking, it's U.S. government policy that all designs of Federal Reserve notes remain legal tender, or legally valid for payments, regardless of when they were issued. This policy includes all denominations of Federal Reserve notes, from 1914 to present. The same applies to old coins. Old coins can be spent just like any other currency. In the U.S. for example, coins and banknotes issued by the U.S. Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing retain their face value regardless of age. While some older coins may hold additional appeal to collectors due to their rarity or condition, they technically can still be used for their original intended purpose of transactions. Here are some places to cash in your pennies in Michigan: Bank of America Chase Bank Citibank Coinstar Comerica Bank Fifth Third Bank Huntington Bank JP Morgan Chase TCF Bank Wells Fargo The American 1-cent coin iscommonly known as a penny, and was first issued in 1793, the U.S. Mint said. The name penny traces back to England, from the Old English word pennige, Time Magazine says. Experts say it's highly unlikely. In rare cases, some 1943 pennies have sold for $1 million, while one went for more than $200,000 at an auction in 2019. Depending on their condition, those 1943 Lincoln wheat pennies would be worth at most between $100,000 and $250,000, John Feigenbaum, publisher of rare coin price guide Greysheet, told USA TODAY. But the likelihood of having a near-priceless penny is similar to "saying your lottery ticket might be worth $100,000. Of course, anything is possible, right? But not likely," said Feigenbaum, who is also the executive director of the Professional Numismatists Guild, a nonprofit organization composed of many of the nation's rare coin experts The American Numismatic Association, a congressionally chartered nonprofit dedicated to the study, collection, and appreciation of coins, paper currency, and other forms of numismatic items, operates the Money Museum, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which houses an extensive collection of rare and historically significant coins, paper currency, and related artifacts, providing visitors with an immersive experience into the fascinating world of group maintains a list of coin dealers in Michigan that are members. There are 36 member shops in Michigan, among them: rld, Inc. in Midland in Ann Arbor in Frankenmuth in Monroe in Plymouth in Portage in Davison Pennies are made of copper-plated zinc, according to the U.S. Mint, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury. Modern pennies contain only 2.5% copper. The first penny was 100% copper, per the U.S. Mint. Then, in 1856 the 'Flying Eagle' scent started production with 88% copper, the American Plating Company says. In 1864, after the Civil War, the design changed again with a 95% copper and 5% zinc makeup. In 1982, the coin switched to 5% copper and 95% zinc. The modern penny has the least amount of copper with a small 2.5% copper plating and a 97.5% zinc base. No, under federal law, in the U.S. it is illegal to export, melt or treat pennies, according to the U.S. Mint. No, the U.S. Mint has not issued special pennies for Michigan, although there are pennies that include variations honoring Abraham Lincoln. USA TODAY contributed.

Cologne evacuates 20,000 people after three World War II bombs discovered
The German city of Cologne is moving 20,500 people in its largest evacuation since World War II, after officials discovered three massive, unexploded bombs. The American bombs – two 20-ton weapons and another that weighs 10 tons – were found in a shipyard on Monday, the city said, causing a huge 'danger zone' to be sealed off on Wednesday morning. A hospital, two retirement centers and the city's second largest train station were among the facilities emptied out. Schools, churches, museums and two of the city's cultural landmarks – the Musical Dome theater and the Philharmonic Hall – also fell within the evacuation zone. The discovery of unexploded weapons is a frequent phenomenon in Cologne, which was decimated by Allied bombing during World War II, but no operation of this size has been carried out since the end of the war, the city said. 'Everyone involved hopes that the defusing can be completed by Wednesday,' city authorities said in a statement. 'This will only be possible if all those affected leave their homes or workplaces early and stay outside the evacuation area from the outset.' The city told residents to 'stay calm (and) prepare yourselves' for the evacuation, recommending they visit friends or family and avoid workplaces in the sealed-off area. Officials said they 'cannot make any reliable predictions' about how long the operation will take, adding that specialists cannot begin to defuse the bombs until the entire area has been evacuated. 'If you refuse, we will escort you from your home – if necessary by force – along with the police,' the city's statement said. Allied nations conducted 262 air raids of Cologne during World War II, killing approximately 20,000 residents and leaving the city in ruins. Nearly all of the buildings in the Old Town were destroyed, as were 91 of the city's 150 churches. A massive reconstruction effort took place after the war, with the Old Town rebuilt and major landmarks restored. But small evacuations still take place on a regular basis when unexploded ordnances are found. Around 10,000 residents had to leave their homes in October when another American bomb was found, and in December, 3,000 people were asked to evacuate. CNN's Stephanie Halasz contributed reporting

The states where NASA spends the most money on science
NASA spends hundreds of millions of dollars per state on average annually through its scientific missions, a recent analysis shows. Why it matters: The space agency's science efforts bear the brunt of the cuts in the Trump administration's proposed budget, down nearly 50% to $3.9 billion. The big picture: Science represents about 30% of NASA's overall budget and includes missions like space telescopes, robotic probes and satellites that gather data about Earth's changing climate. While not always as headline-grabbing as human spaceflight, NASA's science activity has greatly enhanced our scientific understanding of both Earth and our celestial neighborhood. By the numbers: California (About $3 billion), Maryland ($2 billion), Texas ($614 million), Virginia ($612 million) and Alabama ($586 million) saw the most NASA science spending on average annually across fiscal 2022-2024, per data from The Planetary Society, a pro-space nonprofit. Each is home to major NASA facilities, such as California's Ames Research Center and Maryland's Goddard Space Flight Center, which houses the NASA Center for Climate Simulation providing supercomputing resources for climate modeling. The numbers represent obligations involving "research grants, contracts and cooperative agreements," the group says. Zoom in: Missions on the chopping block in Trump's NASA budget include the New Horizons spacecraft (first launched to study Pluto and now in the outer solar system) and Mars Sample Return, an ambitious joint American-European plan to collect Martian soil samples gathered by the Perseverance rover and bring them to Earth for further study. Nearly 20 active science missions would be canceled in total, the Planetary Society says, representing more than $12 billion in taxpayer investments. What they're saying: A chief concern, Planetary Society chief of space policy Casey Dreier tells Axios, is that already paid-for probes and telescopes would be deactivated even though they're still delivering valuable data, wasting taxpayer dollars already spent to launch and run them. "This is the part where you get pennies on the dollar return," Dreier says. "They keep returning great science for the very fractional cost to keep the lights on. And a lot of these will just be turned off and left to tumble in space." Between the lines: Trump's proposed NASA science cuts fit into a broader pattern of pulling resources away from scientific endeavors and data collection, especially involving climate change. The White House has also proposed major cuts and culled staff at agencies like NOAA, and is pulling federal funding for climate-related research.
