2Q 2017 US Banks (119) With Market Caps Above $1 Bil Total Earnings Were $13.651 Bil, Up a Robust 15% From the $11.858 Bil Total Earnings in the 2Q 2016 ....................................................................................... To Illustrate the Effectiveness of US Fed Chair Janet Yellen, Not a Single One of These 119 US Banks Posted a Loss in the 2Q 2017 and Only One Did in the 2Q 2016 ....................................................................................... The US Big 6 Financial Generated 2Q 2017 Total Earnings of $25.656 Bil, 88% More Than These 119 Banks ....................................................................................... There Are Now More US REITs With Market Caps Above $1 Bil (157) Than There Are US Banks With Stock Market Caps Above $1 Bil (119) ....................................................................................... The US Financial System Would Work Much Better and Be More Secure If There Were Many More Very Strong US Banks With Stock Market Caps Above $1 Bil: The Best Way To Accomplish This Is To Prudently Break Up Into Numerous Very Strong Banks the Big 4 ..... JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Banc of America and Citigroup ..... and To Also Provide Very Strong Incentives To Smaller Banks To Permit Them To Flourish and To Wisely Lend More

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 119 US Banks, as defined by US SEC SIC Codes, Other Than the Big 6 headquartered in the US with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $1 Bil very recently and which have filed their Calendar Second Quarter 2017 Financial Statements with the SEC. 

Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Second Calendar Quarters of both 2017 and 2016 for each of these 119 large US Banks.
