The Citi Case Study Has Led To The Death Of Buy-And-Hold Investing

Citigroup shares have now plummeted all the way to $1.50. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. As recently as April 2008, there was a high of $29.89 and as much as $56.28 in 2007 when Citi was the largest financial services company in the world. But C is now down -$55/share on 5.5 billion shares, losing roughly -97.7% of market value, causing the single biggest loss of wealth in world history. And if it wasn’t for the US government (ie, taxpayer) stepping in, there might even be a movie called the Lost Citi - or as some of us would like to have the script written, the Last Citi.
