Citi chairman Dick “Keep The Faith” Parsons told Reuters this morning that not only does his bank not require any more capital injections from its largest shareholder, the US government, but it smokes all you fools.
“I think actually, particularly with the latest conversion … Citi is actually one of the better capitalized banks in the world.”
Parsons was speaking on the sidelines of a Business Roundtable event where President Barack Obama addressed business executives.
Oh, and nationalization is not in the cards, probably.
The Citigroup leader also brushed aside any prospect of the U.S. government nationalizing the bank.
“I don’t think the administration is heading in that direction,” Parsons said. “But I have a lot of confidence in the future viability and strength of a privately held Citi.”

6,
Either/or, baby. Either/or.
@6- generally the rule is ‘s when it’s a singular object, but it’s a style choice when it comes to names ending in ‘s.’
Idea for a blog:
Masters of the Universe with Douchebags
@5 Good point. I never got that either.
Wait, are you saying that John Mayer is black?
what this pic doesn’t show is what they’re holding in their hands right below the waistline…
Technically the correct method of presenting a name in this fashion is to insert the apostrophe before the “s” as in “Parson’s”.
so only brothers and indian chaps are allowed to run banks into the ground these days? poor ken
KUDOS on using his first name and “inches” in the same headline. Bess is back, bitches
@4: Are you that stupid?
Citi has become a Joke.
