ZIRP. There It Is!: JPMorgans Michael Feroli is looking for rate cuts to take the funds rate to ZERO by the late Jan meeting, in 2 slices of 50 basis points apiece. Fed fund futures traders have nearly doubled expectations, to near 35%, on the Dec meeting seeing the larger 75bps cut, 50's a done deal. The zero interest rate policy will have "costs" specifically regarding mutual market funds (see 13:48 comment), but Feroli says "We do not think this cost is enough to constrain the Fed,in part because facilities such as the Money Market Investor Funding Facility" (MMIFF, not to be confused with CPFF, TSLF, or MILF). Hegoes on to add that even in the land of ZIRP, it does not imply "the Fed cannot do more...still has many tools at it's dosposal," although confidence could be an issue, further quantitative easing measures could follow.

Executives at Citigroup Inc., faced with a plunging stock price, began weighing the possibility of auctioning off pieces of the financial giant or even selling the company outright...
The internal discussions are at a preliminary stage and don't signal that Citigroup's board and management are backing down from their insistence that the New York company has ample capital, funding and strategic direction...
Citigroup's board of directors is scheduled to have a formal meeting Friday to discuss the options.... Meantime, directors have been talking by phone about what could be done to reverse the stock's slide.
Top executives were locked in meetings Thursday to hash out a stabilization strategy....
The company, along with representatives of other banks, is lobbying the Securities and Exchange Commission to reinstate the ban it temporarily imposed this autumn on short-selling of financial stocks, the people said.
"You would think the regulators would want to exercise some leadership and protect the integrity of the financial-services world," said one person familiar with Citigroup's lobbying efforts.
SEC Chairman Christopher Cox said he would hold a teleconference with international regulators on Monday to discuss short-selling and other matters. In a statement, he said it was essential that "there be close coordination among international markets to avoid regulatory gaps and unintended consequences."
Specifically, he said regulators would "explore possible coordination" to tighten short-selling rules as well as disclosing short positions.
Meanwhile, Citigroup executives and directors are rushing to bolster the confidence of investors, clients and employees. Members of the board are hoping Citigroup can weather the storm by becoming more transparent with investors and easing anxiety that tens of billions of dollars in risky assets are lurking on the company's books.
On Wednesday, in one move aimed at quelling the uncertainty about Citigroup's exposure to risk, the company said it would buy $17.4 billion in assets from its structured investment vehicles, or SIVs, complex investment tools that first encountered trouble last year due to their mortgage-related holdings.
Executives in recent days have been telling traders, brokers and other employees to reach out to clients and tick off a list of factors that showcase Citigroup's strength. On Thursday, for instance, executives in the wealth-management unit arranged a Friday-afternoon conference call for clients. A brochure that brokers were asked to share with clients promises that the call "will help you to better understand the current financial crisis."
The sell-off in Citigroup shares has led executives to start laying out possible contingency plans. In addition to pondering a move to sell the entire company to another bank, executives have started exploring the possibility of selling off parts of the firm, including the Smith Barney retail brokerage, the global credit-card division and the transaction-services unit, which is one of Citigroup's most lucrative and fast-growing businesses, the people said.
Mr. Pandit, an enthusiastic defender of Citigroup's existing mix of businesses, is loath to pursue such an approach, the people said.
Thursday's stock slide came despite the announcement by Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud that he will increase his holdings in Citigroup Inc. to 5%, adding that he supports the banking giant's management...
The Wachovia debacle turned out to be a turning point for Citigroup. The deal's unraveling highlighted the paucity of other options for the company to pursue in an era when many banks are merging in order to survive. Few other banks that Citigroup can afford to buy would bring similar levels of deposits, the lifeblood of banks....

Buongiorno a tutti 
affondato il mio conto in € fine trading
sopravvive solo un poco di liquidità sul conto in Dollari giusto per qualche scalpata sullo SPOORE con un discreto margine per gli stop
peccato perchè l'anno era cominciato bene fino ad arrivare ad un 50% di gain poi dopo il crack lemanno ho cercato di cavalcare l'onda ma come si vede cnon vi era nulla da cavalcare bastava mettersi short e avere sangue freddo .
e cosi uno stop dopo l'altro il conto si è impoverito e più scendeva più io diventavo un disastro nella gestione altro che disciplina.
non mi resta che salutare e augurare a tutti voi una buona continuazione delle vostre scorribande , so gia che mi mancherete anche se non ci siamo mai visti siete stati ottimi compagni di UP e DOWN .
saluti e auguri particolari a DITRO che ti possa rimettere al meglio il più presto possibile .
per i milanesi ,mi spiace per il "de via " al posto di"da via" ma non ssono riuscito a modificarlo .
ciao
