Well, about a week back, when AIG was at 43 cents, I thought some about investing in AIG. Seeing it up at 83 cents now, I'm sort of kicking myself for not doing so, but oh well.

Basically, do you think it would be wise to put maybe $100 in it? I figure that, if it goes up, it could easily make a lot of money. What do you guys think?

Thats actually not a bad idea. If the company ends up getting back on its feet then its a great investmant. If not then oh well its just a hundred bucks.

Remember the market is constantly being monitored by professional investors, if there is an advantage waiting to be swept up, the pros will close the hole pretty quick in the market. The quick rise is probably just due mainly to people who are thinking the same thing as you. I'm no expert on the economy, but it's a lot harder to invest intelligently than it may seem at first.

AIG is a sinking ship. It belongs at the bottom of the ocean, along with all selfish Republican clowns.

I don't know. You would be better off investing in Bank of America or CITI who is actually making a profit, not getting bailed out "buy" the government a lot. Thier stocks are low, but are skyrocking.

Also you have to think about Taxes, and Fees. You won't be making money after 20% goes to capital gains tax, and anotehr unknown amount of money goes to the investor.

I'm sure there are people more liberal than I am, but, yeah, I'm very liberal, especially on social issues :P.

I am blacklisted by Bank of America. They inflicted so many charges and penalties that I had to just give them a big F You, and move to a Credit Union. I will not tolerate capitalist pricks dictating to me. Banks exist for one reason, to MAKE MONEY! They are not interested in the "little guy", they are in business to make money without care for humanity. I will not tolerate such dog-eat-dog BS.

Well, it sounded better when I said the most liberal, but to be honest, I haven't seen anyone more liberal than you, I bet they exist but they must not post much, or are not as recognizable as you.

I'm inclined to say yes, but honestly I don't know. I think there's a good chance it might dive again within a month, but you can obviously never be too sure about these things. When a stock is in the spotlight like that one is, so much of it depends on second guessing what other people will do. You might lose up to a hundred bucks or you might gain a lot of money, but what the odds are of the gain happening are I really couldn't say. Actually, the thing to invest in might be whatever AIG's competitors are, if there are any.

Let the Republicans and Neoliberals everywhere drown in their own hatred. They are a worldly minority. They will sink themselves.

The speculation is that they are trying to make conservatives look bad :P. It's probably not true, but its an amusing idea.

Well, I guess it is good that I look 3 times as good as any liberal in order to make up for those two pseudo-conservatives.
