LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A former J.P. Morgan securities analyst in California pleaded not guilty Tuesday to taking part in insider trading that prosecutors say netted more than $600,000.
Ashish Aggarwal, 27, of San Francisco, and two Los Angeles friends entered not guilty pleas in federal court.

“Mr. Aggarwal denies the charges against him. … and intends to vigorously defend himself against these allegations,” said a statement from attorney Grant Fondo, who is representing him in the SEC case.

Despite stock fall, financial health of many is still solid
WASHINGTON (AP) — Many Americans have just absorbed a financial beating — at least as measured by their stock holdings. It’s the kind of blow that can feed a sense of helplessness about retirement, college savings and higher-than-expected bills.
But take a look at other gauges of Americans’ financial health, and a more nuanced picture emerges:
Hiring and home values are up. Gas prices and mortgage rates are down. Inflation is low. The pace of layoffs has dwindled.
Add it up, and the evidence suggests that many Americans — though certainly not all — are doing comparatively well.
