Citigroup Inc.'s (NYSE:C) stock closed down over 6% Monday in reaction to the announcement that the bank will repay the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, $20 billion, but analysts say the news is good over the long term. As The Wall Street Journal put it, "Once the knee-jerk selling and the taxpayer is out of the way, Citi
will be free to become a fat cat once again, and that should be good
for the stock over the medium to long term." Repaying TARP is a sign of "financial strength and management strength" for any bank, said Chip MacDonald, partner, Jones Day, in a video interview with The Deal shot Monday at the NYSE Euronext.
