Every share price tells a story, as all investors from the legendary Warren Buffett to a Hong Kong amah will confirm. Look at the chart of JP Morgan Chase and what would be your reaction?

Last Friday, JPMC shares were battered by almost 6% on news that the bank was being investigated by the Federal Reserve Board over its relationship with Enron.
