Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Dimon ? Bitcoin's price has fully recovered from  its  recent slump after  JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon  called it a fraud and Chinese regulators cracked down on exchanges.
The cryptocurrency had a drawdown of up to 14% in the 10 days after September 12  when  Dimon  compared it to the tulip bubble of the 1600s and vowed to fire traders who used it.
By Thursday  bitcoin had all of the losses. It was up nearly 2% from the lows on the day  Dimon  spoke  at $4157.31 per coin at 10:28 a.m. ET.
The move illustrates bitcoin's wild volatility; it's gained 331% this year  unheard of for any major currency and most financial assets. It also shows why many Wall Street professionals like  Dimon  don't see it as a legitimate store of value but as a speculative instrument.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity James Myers ? One New York couple who have taken that approach are  James Myers   33  and Corinne Fisher  32  both professional comedians from Harlem.  Myers  is vocal about  his  support for Trump; Fisher  who was a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter  is just as vocal about her opposition.
Fisher said she defends  Myers â freedom to choose.
âI stick up for  his  right to think something  even if I totally disagree â she says.
She also respects  Myers â courage. âHe gets private messages from other people who arenât courageous enough to be out about their views â she said.
âMy love for Corinne is based on deep respect â said  Myers . âIf you respect someone  you donât have to agree with them on everything. Sheâs been pretty brave about this whole thing.â
 Myers  added that passion can trump (pun intended) disagreement.
âMingle with those with whom you disagree â  he  said. âIt can be hot.â
