btw, maurice, aig showing hairy legs bloomberg.com

<<Company Debt Risk Soars as AIG Fuels Concern of Credit Losses>>

indirectly endangering my increasingly small combo savings insurance annuity policy - in effect a structured product - committed to way back when i was a new graduate

but i figure, should aig go down for the count, screwing its bond holders, phucking its shareholders, taxing the electorates, and finally messy about its policy holders, how much would my gold be revalued by, and so i am calmed
