Finance. Citi's stock has managed to stay above the $4 range as the fourth quarter gets going, but for much of the year its stock has remained trapped under that threshold, despite continuing to be the most actively traded stock on the New York Stock Exchange, even with the dramatically lower shares trading these days. Citi shares are up 25% for the year vs. 12% for the KBW Bank Index, but the stock has dropped significantly below its 52-week-high of $5.07 reached on April 15th. Management Commentary: With credit quality improving and banks taking on somewhat more positive outlooks, despite remaining challenges, investors will clearly for significant progress on Citi's asset divestitures within Citi Holdings as well as the continuous slog through its troubled loan portfolio. To be sure, Citi has been busy this year selling assets, such the recent deal to sell Student Loan Corp. to Discover.
