What would happen to the shareholders who have invested in citi during the down fall, if it is sold out?
The share value fell so much that any hopes of the share holders for recovered will be dashed? Is'nt it?

"Dramatically undervalued?"

We can only hope that any advice that Robert Rubin is bestowing upon Obama has been discounted by at least half.

Citi Group has lost nearly 81% since 2001. Rubin that's a heck of a job buddy boy.
Once a worth of 270 billion now 25 billion that's a big case of the Dropsies.

All the while Rob Rubin as the senior counsel and adviser to the ship of fools. I hope that isn't the talent we will be rewarding....with the Paulson bonus baby money.
