Citigroup and JPMorgan Still at Risk, Says Analyst

We really need to "bailout" Johnny Ike!

Tell us something new we dont know, wake me up when you have some possitive new.......

It will recover in the end of 5 years......Their stock value will accelerate very quick up once a bit of recovery comes.....Good bet .....

Some of these "analysts" need to take a serious look at the Basel II system, and why John Dugan, also head of the Joint Forum, felt the need to install this system. Take a look at offshore banking, and it's affect on corporate sweep accounts, AKA the Queen of England

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Don't let them fail once, don't let them fail twice.... When does America realize that without failure, there is no sucess.

I don't think so...........! What we should do as investors, is to stop been afraid and ensure that we build back our confidence and ensure that this 'FINACIAL HURRICANE' can be a thing of the past.

C, BAC, GS, MS, stay away

i think he has very succintly drawn the difference between citi and jp morgan.the only thing saving citi today is its international exposure, if that wasn't there the company could just as well be another aig? risk management and over indulgence in derivative business which few onderstood including those managing the business has led to the massive reserves that now have to be created,let alone the credit card securitizations which are yet to show their ugly face.... one can only hope that citi gets through all this mess amicably...to say the least

Create a $2.5T TARP and bail us all out.

"Whalen has no position in Citi or JPMorgan" But I bet his buddies do; and are most likely short both companies.

with what Thomas D. Schauf wrote back in 1992 the American people are at risk.....

I like it. A Failout is better than a Bailout!

citi is done

If we are going to use our taxpayer's monies, then why don't they credit everyones credit cards for the individuals who filed a tax return. Give the money directly to the institutions as a pay down and relieve us of this huge credit crunch. Who's money is it anyway? I'm sure someone will say," How you going to account for it?" Well, they seem to be able to account for most everything when it comes to getting a bonus for it, don't they?

No short position. Then they are all honest people? Who knows?

I'm a bit perplexed - how do you lay off 50,000 employees but not but 6 weeks ago, you're crying foul at Wells (a better capitalized and product mix bank I might add) for actually tendering an offer for WB in lieu of the "robbery" that C was gonna get from the Fed. So following in this rationale, instead of 50k employees it would have been in excess of 100k if C was allowed to gangster up Wachovia. And with Citi's pending lawsuit against Wells for intruding into this grand theft circus...why would you cut human 'resources' so drastically in advance of making your argument heard as "YOU" were the better capitalized bank to acquire Wachovia. Just don't get it---

GS is great for day trading....
