And the retirees here and in the UK who depend on the dividends?

To be clear, I don't own BP, and don't plan to.

" It seems like the same bad risk as buying AIG on the way down."
I don't agree.
AIG was and is insolvent.

BP has >$200 billion in assets and generates a very real $30+ billion in revenue annually.

Hardly the same thing as AIG.

BP is down due to sentiment and fear. Outside of their GOM operations, this has ZERO to do with their bottom line and ability to operate as a company.

<The only shareholders left in BP are the one's trying to make a fast buck.>

You seem to know just about everything about this situation.
