Citi Investments

While looking over a recent Citi Smith Barney Monthly Report, I noticed the following box:


Neutral on Hedge Funds? THIS is why Citi is trading below $20. Would you trust your money to someone who told you to "underweight" or "overweight" an INVESTMENT VEHICLE? Since they are "overweight" equities, what would they say about an equity hedge fund? Ladies and gentleman of Citi Smith Barney, you don't underweight or overweight investment vehicles (have you ever heard someone say "underweight ETFs!"?); Assets classes are NOT the same as investment vehicles.

Kindly,

Someone who gets paid a lot less than you, and shouldn't have to tell you these things.
