AIG just keeps rocketing along, making all the right moves. Has been a great investment and will continue to be.

Buying $1 bills for 50 cents sounds like a good deal to me.

wow.
do you do even the slightest bit of analysis or do you just think comments regardless of their lack of accuracy are just so witty that others will not notice?

for once, taxpayers have a PROFIT from a bailout...
AND saved jobs.

the stock is soooo flat . . . .
up from 20 to 30 looks like a 50% gainer in less than a year to the rest of us.

The Treasury still holds 55% of AIG, with a breakeven at $28.72. Yes, plenty of insiders and counterparties made out from the bailout, and we still don't yet have a full accounting of all the bad debt absorbed by the Fed. The alternative - liquidation of the company and a chance for investors to bid for the business units and assets - was never on the table.
