Net income was $3.6 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion from the third quarter of 2008. The increase in earnings was driven by higher net revenue, partially offset by increases to both the provision for credit losses and noninterest expense.
Managed net revenue was $28.8 billion, an increase of $12.7 billion, or 79%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $14.0 billion, up by $8.7 billion, or 167%. The increase was driven by higher principal transactions, primarily related to the absence of markdowns on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage positions and strong trading results in the Investment Bank, as well as higher investment portfolio trading income in Corporate. These results also benefited from the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Net interest income was $14.8 billion, up by $3.9 billion, or 36%, due to the impact of Washington Mutual, wider loan spreads and higher investment portfolio net interest income.

Man muß nur die Nerven haben, das minus 1 auszuhalten.
