I agree that citigroup is putting out lots of smoke here. This mini-bull market is only for short run. More bear coming:

Fact is citibank employees and those who got the leaked email unfairly had inside information the general investing public did not have because citibank filed with the SEC an 8k on 3/10 versus the email that was sent of 3/9.

I thought it was brilliant… No need to change anything, it was just your take…

You presented the facts, then your take on it…

Um, clearly that isn’t possible to answer with the public information, hence the exploration of where they may likely stand.

I believe the last paragraph gives you exactly what you want actually:
“What can we-the-taxpayer take out of today’s news and rally? The companies dragging down the market may not be getting any healthier or more profitable, but they are getting better at playing the spin game. Liberty-minded folk, keep on your toes.”

I am wordy to a fault, however. Do you have any suggestions on any specific fat I can cut out and still have the story be complete?

There too many words in this story. Get to the point and skip the poetry. Did they make money or not?
