The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst John Reeves and advisor David Meier discuss topics across the investing world.

Dave feels that JPMorgan Chase is one of the best big banks around at the moment. And with Jamie Dimon at the helm, this company is likely to remain dominant over the long run. John and Dave discuss some of the reasons why this company has been more successful than its peers. The video concludes with an analysis of the company's long-term performance possibilities. Dave is cautiously optimistic about JPMorgan's future.
