on Thursday said they had picked up extra net interest revenue during the quarter by buying securities with higher yields.said on Wednesday that it continues to hoard cash, expecting rates to move higher as Chief Executive Jamie Dimon predicts.
"We've got a strong liquidity position and we've been putting some of that to work," Mason told reporters.
