Great a Citi Stock split..Now your 1000 shares at 4.5 will be 100 shares at 45.00.

Now there is lots of room to go lower!!! Thanks Vikram...How about leave the shares alone and earn your way to a higher stock price!!!

Let us common folk make back our money they stole.

Leave the stock alone it's not in danger of delisting

Reverse Splits don't devalue stock prices. Plain and simple.

CITI has a unique situation, tied into bailouts, so thats not a normal scenario for a reverse split anyways.

All in all, its just a tactic to show the stock at a face value that is more attractive.

US Government owned 40% of Citigroup "C".

Should this big shareholder: "US Government" be allowed to approve reverse stock splits

Who will provide approval votes: "The President of United State of America or Secretary of Treasury"

Pick a choice.
