Y por que la mayoria de los otros bancos de usa si suben? o no son bancos esos?

Porque habian subido menos q citi la semana pasada y acomodan. YTD los bancos perdieron entre -25% y -50%

[roccatagliata]

la con** de la lora recien llego y veo lo que veo y no se que pasa, a ver roca hacemela corta que no tengo ganas de laburar, que esta pasando si la madre patria esta arriba y esta??????

Yo mismo me pregunto lo mismo. Al final siempre se suele acomodar con el resto de los bancos, o el resto va a bajar, o esta subira un poco. Es rara tanta diferencia en el sector, sin haber noticias particulares de ninguna.

No sube porq se viene defaut grecia y citi es un banco (Asi lo veo yo)

El DOW recupero todo lo de ayer y aun mas, y esta sigue bajando...

[Sir]

Tomalo con calma maestro, ademas de seco te vas a quedar esteril...
Si manana la Fed da buenas noticias, puede haber un buen reversal para toda la variable.
Pero si no convencen, a los botes.....

La papa pasa por otro lado a mi modo de ver: Otro QE3 ya se sabe como termina... y tenès esto latente para cualq momento http://www.eleconomista.es/economia/not ... -euro.html
