You think C is going away. I bet you hundred grand that C is NOT going out. From the numbers C is in better shape than BAC.

Credit Default Swaps Show a Decrease in the Fear Trade

In other words BUY Citigroup NOW before you get left in the dust.

Actually I would be buying any of the banks right now.

Once it gets going and the economy improves this level will not be repeated again.

Bank of America's $34 Billion - Is That All?

I'm buying Citigroup now that they ARE in better shape than BAC. The CEO of BAC said two weeks ago that BAC isn't in the same trouble as Citigroup. Well we all now know the truth. He was flat out wrong.

The Bank Stress Tests May Actually Be Working

I always thought Citigroup was in better shape than BAC.

Stress tests proved that.

Bank of America Doing Worse Than Citi?

Hi input indicated that BAC would be LESS LIKELY to nationalize than that of a bank like Citi. There is no indication in this report that this person would be shorting BAC..

Maybe you should read things TWICE before posting something that makes no sense.

Stress Test Leaks: Endgame Emerging

I agree with the leaks. It's almost like these banks are working in cahoots and taking turns leaking info. These banks are all interconnected anyway. All the CEO's and CFO's know one another and pass on information to one another.

Stress Test Leaks: Endgame Emerging

Because for banks it's ALL ABOUT LENDING. That's how banks make the bulk of their profit by lending at a higher interest rate than what they pay. If there's NO lending there's no business.

Oh yeah, letting bankers use their imagination got us in this mess. Well, should I say imagination AND greed.

Citigroup Can't Keep Phibro

Hey if he's making Citi Money then I have no problem him getting his DUE bonus. Restricting bonus payout is just another form of our government sticking its nose in others business. The U.S. is supposed to be an example of Capitalism but the tides are turning and we're seeing more scary government involvement.

Banks No Longer in Crisis Mode

To say that banking is no longer in crisis is irrational. Yes, it's showing some promise but we have a ways to go.

In saying that I am buying BAC and some Citigroup.

Citigroup: Another Modest Upside 'Surprise'

Maybe or guess what? Maybe not. Great and wonderful script there. Citi already knows the results of S T R E S S test. They just aren't releasing the information.

Citigroup Earnings Preview

Doesn't matter what the numbers will be tomorrow. The stock will be UP. If the numbers aren't good the stock will still be up since the thought of hitting bottom. The Stock will definetely be up if the numbers are good. Goes without saying. If you own this stock make sure you take your profits if it goes up more than 30%. If below that wait it out for Bank of Amer financials. Theirs should be good so Monday will be a speculative up-day for financials. So either way Citi is a good bet to be in the up-swing tomorrow.

The Next Leg up in Financials

I see the financials as a whole starting to stimulate upswing towards end of this year. This is the truth. It will happen. Nationalization????

Ain't gonna happen cause Obama said so
