Citigroup seeks "emergency cash" from U.S. Treasury

Quote from bond tr4der:

I believe you are right. Paulson said he will not ask congress for the remaning $350 billion.

won't be the first time he flip-flops.
 
Quote from Cdntrader:

I smell another 25 bil govt "investment".

But then who? JPM BAC MER MS ??

Article says they need $50 billion

It's kinda like AIG. They first came out on Saturday saying they need $40 billion and get $80 billion investment comes Monday. As we all know, $80 billion was not nearly enough.
 
This will be a turning point for this whole catastrophe.

If the fed/treasury pull off a refunding while avoiding a run on the big banks, then we will get out unscathed. Otherwise, watch out.

Short of printing $5T and distributing it straight to the populus, nothing will get us out of a true systemic collapse resulting from a major (chain reaction) bank run.
