" Citibank's average yield year-to-date (consumer and plastic) was about 12%. But they're suffering 10% defaults, making their true margin about 2%. That's still a positive number.... if it's accurate."

CITI AND WELLS ARE GONE, WHY TORTURE US ANY LONGER JUST PULL THE PLUG............

AFTER ALL WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OWNS THE BANKING INDUSTRY, WHY IN HECK DO WE NEED MORE THAN ONE BANK...............

AND BOA GETS THE BANK BILLET AND JP MORGAN THE INVESTMENT BANK SPOT

SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR WELLS AND CITI TO CONTINUE TO BE PROPPED UP, IS THERE? :? :? Permalink

These staggering rates may well be a pre-bankruptcy move by Citi. Does anyone know offhand what the cheap 'beginner's' cards the department stores offer are going for now? Have they all gone away? The whole credit rating game seems to be self destructing. Why bother to strive for the 750 rating when your creditor sees nothing wrong in slitting your throat when they get a sudden fancy for a bucket of blood. Permalink
