Why isn't AIG back at $1000 today... What does its trading patterns... the ADX... mean about financial risks today ?

AIG had the 20 for 1 reverse split in 2009 after the government bailout. It was hard to short once the fall started from the $65 level (your $1,400). MS and GS knew the risk AIG has taken on. I have a friend who did take on some shares at 50 cents (your .0025) but he didn't make that much on the investment. The risk @ 50 cents was the government would own the company and the shareholders not receive anything (but the shareholders ended up with 20%). Risk / reward.

Re <<the "necessity" of masking inflation and currency devaluation... have resulted in FORCING gold and silver to be considered as "out of favor"... and very few people, even those who are gold and silver bugs, really understand the long term impact of that... alteration in the underpinnings enabling debasement... If gold were made "money" again... as Basel III threatens to allow... you might take the value of all the money there is... and divide the gold by the money... to determine the price it would have now if we returned to how gold was valued when there was a gold standard... and only gold was money ?>> I shudder to ponder the sort of world that accompanies and completes the descriptive … it would be Afghanistan-ing of the planet, and gold would prove dangerous to have as a consolation prize. Lunch good, better than breakfast, and now a short nap is in order to replenish / boost immune system. I know I know, chocolate milk is not good for me, and I do not care :0) For a locked-down isolated place that Hong Kong be at the moment, all the city-stuff still working well enough. Papaya from the garden, corn from Shanghai (Only one shop carries them, and I find to be yummier as they taste like real / traditional corn as opposed to a fruit - hard to explain - but if bad for me I do not care), tomatoes from Holland, egg from USA, grapes Japan. Chocolate milk from Kowloon peninsula, a nearby place I have not visited in the last 24 months, and as far as I know, still populated. The meat-looking strips are some variety of mushroom, and the fried-potato lumps are variation of soya bean. Pomegranate from Peru (Vietnam got swapped out by the market), leaves from Aberdeen Hong Kong, by vertical farming. Mushrooms Japan. Soya bean stuff likely from USA.
