Markets worldwide are starting to resemble the era before the 2008 financial crisis and recession, warned JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Monday an event hosted by his company.

“Unfortunately, we did see this in ‘05, ’06, ‘07, almost the same thing,“ Dimon said at JPMorgan’s annual investor meeting in reference to the years before the crisis. ”The rising tide lifting all boats, everyone was making a lot of money, people leveraging to the hilt. The sky was the limit.”
