I love these.

The one thing that gets me though is slide 65 - average investor return. It's vague on the wording of what that is in the microscopic print, but I'd assume that this would imply that buying and holding is better than the average investor behavior.

in general, this is always better, in my opinion.  That's why the market averages 8% returns every year over time, but the average investor averages 2% returns.  They buy, sell, etc and pay a lot of commissions & taxes with all of their activity.  With buying & holding, your cost basis goes down with each dividend, which amplifies your returns.  It's inevitable.

With the U.S. election in the history books, we know that Trump will reside in the White House for the next four years. With Trump focused on the economy JPM stock is one that shouldn’t be ignored. Solely based on a valuation, the shares are trading at a P/E ratio of 12.76, which is cheaper than the S&P 500, which has a P/E ratio of 24.88.

Why? What does JPM's P/E have to do with the markets? What are its prospects? What's going to change to cause JPM's outlook?

You should probably compare JPM's P/E with it's peers, not the general market.  It looks like WFC and C both have P/E's that are lower than JPM's, and those were the first two that I checked.  Each industry generally has it's own factors to consider.

Awesome info, thanks for sharing!
