Citigroup Inc. (C)

A reader asked me when I will consider buying Citigroup . I spent over 15 years in the financial industry (mainly Swiss based private banking). Its the first time I see such fear of banks .....
I often get asked the same question ; can you recommend a safe bank ? No, I cannot .....
The Swiss had a "safe reputation ......take a look at UBS ...... do you remember their ads ? Funny, I do not see them anymore ......
Who killed the economy ? The Banks !
Now, about Citi .....
Do you see that pattern on the chart ? Its called an inverted head and should pattern .
Head ? around 15$
Right shoulder around 17.5 in a few weeks/months
If you see that pattern , get ready to re enter C
Otherwise ........enjoy the wild ride .......and if you need a loan, go to the Hedge Funds, they have lots of liquidities ..
