> USA (we) now own 36% of Citigroup - and it's toxic crap << I was thinking the federal govt would be better served if they bought everyone's garbage off craigslist and trucked it directly to the dump. Or created a job to carry the crap to the dump. It would help more people than buying a C?

Citi CEO says latest deal should end nationalization fear By Greg Morcroft Last update: 9:12 a.m. EST Feb. 27, 2009 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Citigroup Inc (CCitigroup Inc C) Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit said Friday that the government's plan to convert some of its Citi preferred share stake into common should end fears of the bank being nationalized. "Of course, the government holds a significant amount of common stock investment in us, but our commitment we have had to every shareholder, which is to provide an exceptional return as we get through this cycle, remains unchanged. And in many ways for those people who have a concern about nationalization, this announcement should put those concerns to rest," Pandit said. The government will own up to 36% of Citi's outstanding common shares after the announced conversion, the firm said Friday. marketwatch.com
