Only three words: A-I-G
Interesting, how could that have happened?:
Citigroup, the battered banking giant, announced a first-quarter net profit on Friday after more than a year of staggering losses and three bailouts from Washington. The New York-based bank reported first-quarter net income of $1.6 billion, after a loss of $5.11 billion in the period a year earlier. It announced a loss, however, of 18 cents a share, because of changes in its stock structure. The results were also helped by an accounting adjustment that allowed the bank to post a one-off gain of $2.5 billion on its derivative positions.
On a side note: Goldman Sachs announced their profits yesterday.
