Un príncipe saudita (el mayor inversionista individual) aprovechó el precio bajo y compró 1% de las acciones de Citigroup, que a precio actual son 300 millones de dólares, pero no fue suficiente para detener la hemorragia, informa el Financial Times. Los gerentes de clientes del banco trabajaron toda la mañana tratando de evitar el retiro de fondos, eso habla mucho de la desesperación actual en Citigroup. Copio del FT:

Citigroup’s crisis deepened on Thursday as its shares continued to slump despite a planned investment of about $300m by Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, its largest individual investor.
The further fall in the shares, which were down more than 10 per cent at $5.74 at 1pm in New York, prompted Citi’s bankers and customer managers to redouble efforts to prevent a flight of capital, according to people close to the situation. However, they added that Citi had not experienced unusual movements in deposits, corporate balances or prime brokerage accounts.
