    I don't think AIG would have much problem finding replacements.
    Note to AIG: I'm available!

    The problem is the CEO's for the most part write their own pay checks. In the old days where fat cats controled big blocks of stock, they would put a brake on it. These days, only their nerve limits their pay. Hey, what would you pay yourself if you could get away with it?

    If Great Britain would let us have the old Hong Kong government, I say we give ourselves back!

    So the banks are told to raise capital before they will be allowed to give their taxpayer money back. OK, so they do, then they are told "Sorry, that's not enough. [hee hee]" When will it dawn on them that they will never be allowed to pay the money back and get free of government controls.... unless they are Goldman with a lot of political pull.... or they pay off the right people/entities?

    Jersey, you are quite right. For the first time we have a huge political risk that outweighs even the usual earnings risks. Political risk used to be something we only worried about if we invested in 3rd world countries. Now it is right here at home. Go to the web sites of the candidates, see what they have in mind, and calculate the damage. The very best senario is McCain wins, doesn't cave to the Dems [very much out of character], and the Bush tax cuts expire. Even that will have a depressing effect on the market, tax revenues, and the ever ballooning budget deficite.
