Mega Bulge Brackets?

Is it time, similar to schools having a new tier now (hypertarget, which is above supertarget, which is above target, which is above semi-target and so on), that we have a new tier for investment banks?

I propose: Mega Bulge Brackets

Banks with a massive balance sheet and colossal commercial/retail arm qualify. These banks are absolute monsters on a global stage.

Some prime candidates are:

JPM

ICBC

Wells Fargo

Citi

BofC

CCB

ABC

Mitsubishi

BNP Paribas

HSBC

BofA
