Cramer on BloggingStocks: The clock's running on Citigroup

Cramer has been a tremendous fan of free markets, ramming free markets down everyone's throats. Cramer is such a hypocrite. If this is the crash of 1929 as you so hysterically predict, then you can always where a sign around your neck stating, "Will not work for food." Live or die by the free markets, Cramer. Live by your own BS.

Lou Dobbs for President !

You are long on Citigroup. That must be why you want a bailout. The common stock has been hammered. It seems what you are concerned about is the value of your holdings and you want the taxpayer to bail you out. Since you are so in favor of the free markets, ride it out. This is capitalism for you, Cramer, you con artist. You cannot have it both ways---free markets and bailouts. I believe in no bailout of any kind. If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. I shorted Citi and have made a bundle. It seems I am smarter than the dummy experts like you. Hope you keep losing. The more the stock falls, the more money I make. Nobody ever said capitalism has a heart. Get a subprime mortgage if your credit rating goes bust. It seems now you are a socialist, looking for a handout. Capitalism is the best system, and there is no room in a capitalist system for bailouts. Common stockholders can reap the greatest gains and the biggest losses. Everyone knows that. If you want protection put your money in FDIC insurance deposit accounts. Instead you are a greedy, lying bum full of bull.

Meaningless words, Cramer. C is going down. It will be at $19 by the end of the first quarter of 2008. The purchase of $7.5 billion in equity today by an oil-rich emirate is a sign the end is near. Why didn't they sell more? Because even the oil idiots know there is too much risk. Alwaleed is on the hook for billions. Can't wait for him to lose his shirt, er, dress. C, MER, BAC, E-Trade, etc. are all going down and they are gonna take the rest of the market with them. Sell stocks short, buy puts and sit back. Relax. Watch all these companies go under.

They are your boys Cramer, YOU bail them out.

Well folks - it looks like your gas money is coming into C as well as Fed money. Jim is too smart to put his money in now he will wait for a big move in the stock and then make a killing. He's not stupid like the rest of us. Citi is paying 11% for this money, what do they give us for our deposits? So we fools pay high prices for gas and oil, get nothing for our cash deposits, pay taxes that the fed will use to feed the banks. The smart ones like Jim will make a fortune off this.

From looking at some of these postings, there are more idiots on the internet than in Washington.

Citigroup despite the confidence placed in it by Abu Dhabi, is still a bottomless pit of snakes and snakeoil. Too many problems remain for America's biggest bank and I am loathe to put any money into this Ponzi scheme until there is much more clarity. Even if it means buying in at a much higher price.
Too many hucksters in the financial media have been hot on financial stocks for months now. Do not listen to them. Any investment in large money banks and most regional banks too right now, to put it mildly, is premature.

Jim, these simpletons just don't get what you are saying. They have been brainwashed by the media for years that "Big Business" (i.e. Citgroup) is their enemy. Let them have their wish. Let's see how we will be treated by the Chinese, the Russians, and the Middle Easterners when we no longer have big U.S. banks and big U.S. oil companies battling for our share of the pie. Yes, then we can join other poor nations and beg for a bread crumb.

it appears to me that most everyone is to blame. the government acted as wreckless as the lenders, bankers, mtg brokers, and dont forget the populas. 1st the government required lenders to make the amewrican dream easier to obtain by lowering credit standards. secondly, many people obtained houses to flip them or cash out of them to let them go into foreclosure so they could walk away with the cash. lets also not forget about the many people including reealtors and the high and mighty bankers who like to stay out of this and point fingers getting straw buyers to purchase the homes they had bought from a foreclosure to rape the system and steal the cash. lets not forget all the bank fraud from EVERY GREEDY SOB out there. the heads of all the lenders however did make out like bandits. they knew the margins and the profits. they allowed it but to point fingers at certain people is just a plain liberal point of view grow up boys and girls were all to blame
