Citadel stock drops from a dime to a penny.
Literally one cent - that was the closing price in a generally lousy stock market day. But Citadel came in for special punishment with a shocking number of shares traded. Get this - the recent average daily volume on "CDL" is about 840,000 shares. Yesterday - 18,491,029 shares traded hands. That's 22 times the average. One former Citadel staffer here at the Country Radio Seminar says "it's going to be really tough, with the two-year closing date on the Disney deal for ABC coming up in June and the debt payments. Farid's going to need friends, and I don't know who he's got."
