The deal could be worth $60 billion, the Wall Street Journal reports.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. has agreed to acquire Bank One Corp. for an estimated $60 billion, according to a published report Wednesday.

Shares of Bank One (ONE: Research, Estimates) rose 14 percent in after-hours trading, while J.P. Morgan (JPM: Research, Estimates) shares slipped 3 percent.

Talk about keeping up with the Joneses!

The second I saw that JPMC was about to become #3 because of the BofA/Fleet merger, I just knew they would do something to retain their spot. :)
