Treasury and Citigroup

Citigroup approached Treasury about a way that the Government could sell its 34% stake.

Supposedly the stake would be sold in pieces, in a massive ATM (at the money offering) or in one gigantic offering.

I'm surprised that these talks have progressed as much as they have, even though they are in the "early stages."

The Citi story is the Govt supposedly unloading, and the street getting short before it. I'll have a story soon, but Citi did a $5 billion raise tonight, using the TLGP from the FDIC. C is a buy here.

does the current price (4.12) reflect the $5 billion raise?
