Shares fell as low as 97 cents, leaving the bank with a market value below $6 billion -- down from more than $277 billion in late 2006.

Citigroup was not immediately available for comment.

Citigroup still remains part of the Dow Jones industrial average [.DJIA  Loading...      ()   ] of 30 blue-chip companies. Naomi Kim, a spokeswoman for Dow Jones Indexes, which maintains that index, said: "(But) we are watching the situation closely."

And that leads to our Charles Schwab Question of the Day.
