Greece has great potential
DAVOS, Switzerland (BuyActive) -
The problems faced by the Greek economy are not as catastrophic as the world may think. Greece has not asked for help from anybody and

whatever it takes to bring the deficit down" through cuts in spending and increased revenue.

Citigroup shares the opportunity of the decade!.
NEW YORK (BuyActive) - Citigroup shares have already dropped a great deal ahead of the offering. The shares fell 6.33% to $3.70 Monday.
This gives investors a great opportunity to buy the stock.
Word on the street is that institutional interest in share offering is strong, a big step in the right direction for the company.
Of course Citigroup is anxious to pay back the TARP because that would mean a lifting of the "executive pay restrictions" that came along
as part of the borrowing conditions.

Citigroup Repayment plan is close.
NEW YORK (BuyActive) - As we said previously, Citigroup must try to come up with the money to start repaying some of the $45 billion it got from the
US government as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
An agreement could come at any time since it is preferable to show some action before the end of the quarterly report.
We will all be watching closely to see how much money they can raise and how it will affect the dilution of the shares.

Markets not based on fundamentals
MONTREAL (BuyActive) - These markets, not being based on fundamentals, are eventually bound to turn negative.
Stocks are overvalued and the US economy is likely to fall back into a recession in a few months. Investors can buy pretty much anything today;
good strong stocks, poor weak stocks, everything is going up. This is all caused by low interest rates and the US dollar’s weakness.
The S&P 500 touched a 13-month high on breaking above the technically important 1100 level.
