Barron's Bets on Prudential

AIG is now a wounded duck in the core life insurance business, where annuity and life insurance purchase decisions are heavily weighted on financial ratings. Pru, conversely, has the best VA on the strreet, with the best living benefits guaranteeing income for life. Hands down for PRU. AIG's big spin-off news on 09/25/08 make it an interesting speculation.
