Sounds great on paper re Fairx. I wonder how many funds held AIG large before it almost went bye bye.

Yet to clarify... he used the word growth.

I wouldn't consider AIG a growth stock. And I wouldn't shift from a fnsr to an AIG. I would have either size in to reduce cost basis or just grabbed JDSU as stated. I'm on record I own JDSU at 9.15.

Now that you put this up.. you will force me to go deep re AIG.. UGH.

Didn't ya hear. Dont feed the troll.

I'm curious about what site you used to get 49%. Is there a site that updates the holdings with current prices?
Interesting that the Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) has 49% of its assets in AIG.

Yahoo! and morningstar had it at 42.8% but that was as of May 30
