Topic: Citi Mkt cap down to $25 Bn (India Implications) Posted: 20/Nov/2008 at 10:13am
Citi Mkt cap down to $25 Bn!! US govt had put $ 25 Bn just a few days ago. CDS spreads on CITI is over the roof. They have started firing in India which is one of the most profitable international market for them inspite of growing roughly 50% y-o-y. It has never happened in CITI India's history. The serious implication of this may be there may be another round of selling (from there own account as well as from redemptions from panic driven investors in citi managed funds)
If we can compile the list of stocks, their stakes and average volume in that counter over the last few weeks we can evaluate the possible extent of damage to those counters.

I am kinda sceptical about citi future. Market always spots ahead of normal people. Citi share price is steadily moving to Zero. I hope, US does something to stop this massacre.
While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
As Citigroup officials continue to weigh their options, Chief Executive
Vikrum Pandit said he would like to keep the company together and does
not wish to spin off its Smith Barney brokerage unit. With Citigroup
shares plunging below $5 a share on Thursday for the first time in 13
years, pressure is mounting, and could ultimately result in Pandit
stepping down because of the lack of confidence in his ability to lead
the firm through these troubled times. Shares sank further Friday.
