Jason Goldberg Barclays Capital
Barclays Capital’s Jason Goldberg moves down one tier to third place. Proponents applaud him for reiterating his buy recommendation on Citigroup in January, when the New York–based financial institution’s share price sank to $3.15. He stressed the full-service firm’s successful debt reduction program, especially its recent agreement to repay $20 billion in federal loans. By late August the stock had shot up 17.8 percent, to $3.71. “Jason is my top sell-side data source,” asserts one money manager.
