Gary, let me bet:

1) A shorter called in a favor

or

2) you missed last weeks drop and want to short to get cheap in.

I got in at $3.18 again and bought 500 4$ March 2010 calls last week. Sorry, you missed it, dude.

Maybe Sponge Bob can help you in your investment needs...

Another low life with publishing rights in a dubious reputation online journal. Technology surely has made it easy for paid bashers to post nonsense and conflicting information with intention to deceive. What a shameful and pathetic scenario.

You sound like you don't really understand what you are talking about. Citi has already raised the necessary funds to pay back ALL of the TARP money that it owes. It doesn't owe the government anything else.

This is obviously a slanted article that is a half truth that preys on the simple minded. You have already influenced a few imbeciles like Joe Crash and Robert Kennedy.

Worst article ever. Go back to Freshman Composition 101 and learn how to construct proper sentences, please.

Who wrote this, a child?! Get a grip and an editor. I can see why you left out your last name "Gary". Why is this even in the "News"? It's a big long rant that contains now NEW information about a bank that's it pretty bad shape.

BTW, Citi has paid back it's TARP funds, it's the government's option to sell those common shares at will. I applaud them for not selling into a down market for C shares. As for the government's influence in C's daily operations, at the moment they have the same influence as any large stakeholder while the regulatory body has the same regulatory influence over all the large banks.

This article should be listed under "Speculation and Conjecture", or "I hate this bank and here's a useless rant about it". Did you get charged too many fees for bouncing checks at Citi? Maybe you had too many eggs in the C basket in your portfolio a few years ago.
