After trading higher for most of the day, shares of�JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) are headed down this afternoon as investors and analysts await the results of the bank's proxy vote set to be released tomorrow. With less than an hour left in the trading session, JPMorgan shares are off by $0.02, or 0.04%.
In what could be a defining moment for the nation's largest bank by assets, shareholders will soon learn whether or not they have collectively voted to split the roles of chairman and chief executive officer, both of which are currently occupied by Jamie Dimon.
While Dimon was widely heralded has the nation's top banker after adroitly steering JPMorgan through the financial crisis, his luck began to turn last year on the heels of a massive trading loss known as the London Whale scandal. Dimon had originally dismissed the issue as a "tempest in a teapot," only to subsequently acknowledge that it would cost JPMorgan more than $6 billion.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Kevin M. O'Brien]
Google (GOOG) will surpass $725.00/share. Google has a lot of trouble over the last few years maintaining its all-time highs. I do not think this will be the case in 2012. The stock is really starting to show strength of late and I do believe this carries over into next year.
- [By Sy_Harding]
With a PEG ratio of 0.6 Google is trading at a big discount compared to its peers. With a recovering economy and growing technology sector I see GOOG poised to hit $700.
- [By David Eller]
With Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) being the king of search, we wanted to start there. Google still has approximately 67% of the online search market. In the past this had been more than 70%, but its dominance is still very much present. What is transforming Google is its Android operating system for smartphones and tablets, and now for little netbooks, on the heels of its Motorola buyout. Google shares bounced handily after a disappointing earnings report and fears about the online ad market, even after the mobile ad cannibalization, have so far been seriously overblown. Shares are now near a 52-week high again, and Wall St. remains very favorable, even with leadership questions being present.
Google shares trade around $735, with a $214 billion market cap and with a 52-week trading range of $556.62 to $774.38. Analysts have a consensus value of just over $800.00, for upside of only about 9%. Google trades at close to 16-times its expected 2013 earnings.
