How about C?

First time buyer, 10K to start. Thinking about "C", is it a good buy for long term?

if you are a gambler, go for it. Who knows when it's gonna to pick up. Citi is still in high risk. Mutual fund managers do not like it at all.

I will not have time to monitor the market closely to be an active trader. I just wanted to turn some free cash into some long term assets. Would C still be there in 5 years? If yes, would the stock gain higher than inlfation and GIC?  Thanks for your adivse.

如果买了抱住的话，个人看好能源和原材料股。
