A friend of mine asked me recently: “Would do you think of Citibank’s stock. I understand the current situation of the finance sector, but what do you think of Citibank?” This is not the first time someone has asked me. A cousin of mine told me he bought Citibank at $5 and I told him... »
Wall Street Bail Out
The government opened up $700 billion to our banking institutions. Some argue that Hank Paulson is partial to his friends at Goldman Sachs.

Back on February 7th, in my post labeled Markets Marking Time, I said: Every month that the market moves forward gives me more reason to be less bullish.

The market could go down further today, or even recover a little and then sell off. Most traders might use the slightest recovery to sell what they didn’t sell yesterday. After all, it is not everyday that 498 of the S&P 500 are down. Wait before you start buying and try to hold what... »
