Global investment-banking fees


By this time, most banks are in the black again. That doesn't mean that they are totally back, especially the investment-banking fees earned from January till October are much lower than last year in the same period! The ten leading investment banks earned about $6 billion less fees, that's a decrease of 20% in comparison with last year. JPMorgan, the biggest investment bank, only lost about 8%, but the fees at Barclays and Bank of America took a plunge for more than a third!

S3: earned less in fees
S4: a plunge of more than a third

Good flow and focus. Style tends to be oral, which is ok for a blog. I wonder if you can keep the same flow in more formal writing. Good job.
