Does Jamie Dimon winning this battle mean a loss for JPMorgan?

The following video is from Wednesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Matt Koppenheffer and Matt Argersinger discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.

JPMorgan (JPM 0.49%) Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon will continue to hold on to both positions after shareholders rejected a proposal to split the roles. Dimon threatened to quit if the positions were split. What does the news mean for shareholders? Should the CEO and chairman roles be split? What should investors conclude from Warren Buffett's success as chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A -0.28%) (BRK.B -0.68%)? In this installment of MarketFoolery, our analysts tackle those questions and talk about Bernanke's comments.
