THIRD TEAM Jason Goldberg Barclays Capital
Claiming third place for a second straight year is Jason Goldberg of Barclays Capital. In December, Goldberg tagged JPMorgan Chase & Co. as a top pick for 2011, largely on its strong balance sheet and steady management. Year-to-date through August, shares of the New York–based global institution fell 10.3 percent, from $41.89 to $37.56, but nonetheless beat the sector by 6.2 percentage points. “All I need in the morning is a cup of coffee and Jason’s daily ‘Bank Brief’ e-mail,” declares one grateful client.
