There are many, many investors that are looking for the banking sector to give them back back the beating they have been taking for sticking with then through thick and thin. Gone are the days when the money center banks were solid investments with a nice fat dividend you could count on. Citigroup (C) has been no exception. Citi still has about $22 billion in loans to the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) but is trying to sell those off as the few speculative buyers put in bids.
Let's look at the numbers without emotion and see what we find. The price momentum is up recentlly as this graph from Barchart of last months hourly price movement shows:
