Is it Citibank That Never Sleeps or Their Shareholders?

We are all sick of our bankers and politicians.

For zero percent interest the only thing that brings me joy from banking is just calling my new weekly bank and yelling about a wire transfer that I never made …and than hanging up. It’s the little things that help me through my day.

Lately, I am tempted to move all my banking to Shittybank $C because they ‘Never Sleep’. I can call them at 2 pm in the morning and just lay into them. That’s worth something to me.

The only think to temper my bullishness in the Forex Market these days is Shittybank’s aggressive move INTO it.

Here all all the reasons that Shittybank ‘The Tarp Machine’ should now be your FX broker of choice .

It makes sense that a bank that leveraged up their balance sheet to 40 to 1 would like you to take your last bit of money they did not piss away and leverage it at 40 to 1 in the forex markets.

It’s twisted out there right now.

I of course will let Jamba Juice $JMBA (I am long) be my FX broker before Shittybank.

It will NEVER be fair and I know that. That’s just life.

It’s just not right though to have Shittybank stick it in and we can vote with our accounts and wallets. Obviously, not enough of us are.

Shame on us.

    sad to see you are not a believer in Sandy Weill’s vision for a global bank… Surprising that Citi would think they can compete with the nimble (and profitable) startup FX trading outposts on the web, which sadly have substantially more credibility (not to mention easier to use, and prettier tools).

    Alas, we’ll have to wait for someone with real credibility to offer retail fx brokerage – $JPM or $GS… :-)

    Now how about Citibank making us fruit smoothies, now that would be fun to watch…every teller has a blender and a kumquat

    Boring (and hardly news), Citi, DB and others have had retail fx platforms for well over one year. Nothing to see here, keep moving.

    Shittybank sucks. I saw them at my university campus every semester trying to lure young and naive students.I hated them, but i also knew that universities got substantial kick-backs from allowing these shitty credit card companies to push their financial drugs on campus.

    CitiFx is the new technique to lure young investors into losing money.
