It was miracle Wednesday in the disturbing land of soylent green shoots. What the hell am I talking about? Citigroup managed to sell $1 billion in commercial paper without an FDIC backing after the close yesterday. But, there's that pesky coupon @8.25%, about 4.5% above Treasuries. That's not cheap money, and it demonstrates that risk taking and certifiable insanity are closely related. Citigroup paper can be found at your local supermarket in absorbent rolls of 8 or 16.
