When shareholders of JP Morgan Chase (JPM) huddle in Florida this weekend for their annual meeting, they'll find themselves about 35% richer than they were in 2012, despite enduring a crisis-filled year of turmoil, regulation and investigation. But instead of celebrating Jamie Dimon's achievement and management dexterity, they'll be voting on whether to demote the bank's hard-charging chairman and CEO.

Predictably, this type of professional affront and disrespect has not sat well with the man who has, by most accounts, capably run the nation's largest lender for nine challenging years. Officially, investors will be given the chance to defy the bank's board of directors and strip Dimon of his chairmanship duties, while installing an unknown entity in his place to oversee him.

While the shareholder vote is expected to be defeated again this year, as it was last, the lead up to the balloting has been anything but salutary. And as my co-host Jeff Macke and I discuss in the attached video, while it is understandable that investors are angry about the $6 billion in so-called "London Whale" losses incurred from a high-risk hedging program being run in the UK, they're taking an even bigger risk if they alienate the 57-year-old leader.

Not only would it cause a tumultuous transition with no successor in place, but Mayo predicts subsequent executive departures would cause additional hardship.

This morning the company reported an annual loss of $5.4-billion, the biggest in its 100-year history. Sharp says it will be replacing both its president and chairman next month. The men were on the job for just a year.

Facebook's (FB) phone is looking like a flop. Sales have been so sluggish AT&T (T) is now thinking about dropping the device from its offerings. The phone, which is called Home, was unveiled with much fanfare last month. It's made by HTC but puts Facebook front and center on the home screen. The price has already been cut from $99 to 99-cents. Facebook has been trading just shy of $27. That's $11
