Citigroup Recommends Overweighting Citigroup

Citigroup Downgraded to `Sell’ at Goldman Sachs

This line made me chuckle (with some pain since I’m a long-time C shareholder):

“… Citigroup recommended that investors buy U.S. bank stocks. New York-based analyst Tobias Levkovich raised his rating on the companies to ‘overweight’ from ‘market weight’ because of ‘compelling valuation, depressed earnings revision data and awful investor sentiment.’”

    November is a crazy month for me… FCX and C drag down my whole portfolio that previously had 60% YTD gain. My wife is mad with me now.

    My mother used to always be pestering my dad about owning so many stocks. He’d always chuckle a bit and claimed he only owned ‘30-35 stocks’.

    When he died and I went through all the stock certificates (yes, he kept them in a file cabinet at home), there were 86 stocks; many of which had declined in price dramatically. :)

    So yes, it’s better to NOT talk with your wife regarding your portfolio.
