Today, AIG shares are selling at a all time low of $0.83 a share down from over $50 a share 52 weeks ago! Should we be buying AIG stock now? If it rebounds to just $50 a share in the future, fortunes will be made. What do you think?

Far as I can tell, AIG is committed to somewhere in the region of $300 trillion in guarantees coming due over the next two years. Yes - $300 trillion.
I don't expect it to survive that.
U.S. taxpayers own 80% of AIG. Buying AIG stock would be a long shot. AIG and the Obama economic recovery program may come unglued in the shitstorm over the $160 million bonus or retention payments scandal.
i feel like we ought to just let them rot. when a business is too big to fail then it's too big, and seems to be a threat to national security...but if we taxpayers own 80% of the company, then we all loose...of course they say buy low sell high
AIG is a pit from hell. How we let ourselves be devoted to one company like that in the first place is beyond me! I also can't imagine why the company got corrupted in the first place? Inner corruption was the start of all the madness, promised $160 Million Dollar Bonuses? $160 Million can fund a LOT of jobs for quite a while...I think it's stupid to keep them going, the money to bail them out should be what is given to the people and they should go to a different company. Of course, that's being theoretical, that job is large and it isn't that easy to do!

I really wouldn't want anything to do with AIG. I'm not supporting the greed and lies that are rampant in that company. Look at the 11 that left after they got their bonuses? Even the greedy themselves knew when to leave a sinking ship. There was no honor among theives there.

Very fiscally responsible and is screwing the taxpayers. At taxpayers' expense, there has been 2 buses at 1.1 Million dollars apiece for this and a future tour. There are other costs like for security and more associated with these 3 days. Estimates run anywhere from $9 million to$ 15 million...

I am so sick and tired of the push by the Biden administration to force student loan forgiveness on the American taxpayers, many of whom did not go to college and now must pay the debts.I think we're ALL being duped. The kids, the taxpayers, and the ones who are getting off Scott free are the...

Are US taxpayers paying their fair share of the income tax?

Instead of giving US corporations bailout/loans the government should give each of its citizens $1,000,000 to spend on anything they want within the United States.According to the US Census there are 305 million citizens. $305 million dollar checks going out to people who will spend in the US is a...
