U.S. banks stocks have zoomed since cratering during the peak of the credit crisis and one, huge, very knowledgeable investors is saying ‘enough’ and cashing in their Citigroup holdings.
I’m talking about Temasek, the sovereign investment fund of Singapore.
Temasek did own 9% of Citigroup’s outstanding stock but now owns less than 5%. And they pocketed a very cool $1.6 BILLION of profits on it and still has another $1.6 billion open gain waiting to be banked. Not bad.
