Citigroup’s shares fell sharply for the second day in a row.

On Thursday, Citigroup shares fell over 26% to $4.71, marking the second day the bank’s shares have dropped so sharply. In intra-day trading, Citigroup’s shares fell as low as $4.39.

The stock fell 23% the previous day.

Here are the two big questions now:

Unless you’ve just come in from another planet, you know that Microsoft’s Zune digital music player is a disaster.

We’ve long believed that only schmucks and trash lovers buy Zune. Serious music lovers have already purchased Apple’s iPod, which is available in different models and is also part of the popular iPhone.

In the latest move to boost Zune sales, Microsoft is tweaking its $14.95 a month music subscription service to let users permanently keep 10 tracks every month.

Like all previous Microsoft efforts (price cuts, adding features like wireless sync capability et al), we believe this one too won’t make a difference.

You can put all the lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day it’s still a Continue reading »
