No Suspense Here: No Dividend Boost for Citi

In the following video, Motley Fool financial analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss the not-so-surprising announcement that Citigroup (NYSE: C  ) will not be requesting an increase to its dividend after the coming CCAR stress test results next week.

Matt tells us why this announcement comes as good news, and has shares up today.�
