Joke of the day is in the last para from an AnalY**st Murray from JP Morgan on Citi.

RESEARCH ALERT-JP Morgan raises Citigroup to 'buy'

NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - J.P. Morgan on Wednesday raised its investment rating on shares of Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C - News), the No. 1 financial services firm, to "buy" from "market perform," citing the company's recent stock drop.

"We believe (Citigroup) is oversold," analyst Catherine Murray said in a research note, adding the company's stock was down more than 45 percent so far this year.

Citigroup shares, were were off more than 4 percent on Wednesday, have been pressured as U.S. congressional investigators charged the company helped bankrupt Enron Corp. (Other OTC:ENRNQ.PK - News) hide debt that ultimately led to the energy trader's collapse.

"We find it hard to believe that Citigroup knowingly participated in fraudulent activity," Murray said.

Thanks, Jay. A nice article, funny and sad. But I think the real disaster in the US economy will be 15-20 years from now, when all the surplus from the social security have been squandered by the Congress, and all the baby boomers will be retired. What will happen then?
