  • Why I Bought AIG Last Week
    I agree and went long AIg at 2.50, too.However, I expect those sales that you outlined to generate substantially less - likely just about 55-70 bn $. the reason is that everybody knows that AIg has to sell the stuff asap and that there are plenty of opportunities out there for people with cash.
    as I see it, the warrant structure has already been chosen for the fed to have the option to not take AIG over. In any case AIG below $3 looks like obe of the best opportunities in finaical stocks out there because further downside imho is almost non-existant. except, if you expect financial armageddon. But then again, my small, speculative stake in AIG might be the least I will worry about.

  • Ban on Short Selling Could Have Negative Consequences for Options Market
    I'd rather like to see some wider spreads in the options markets than allowing naked shorting of stocks to go on unabated by misusing the market maker exemption.
    If I weigh the benefits and costs it is clearly preferable to force market makers to play by some sort of rules at least.
    And if you are an investor, you usually need not hedge your position by buying puts: if you think the stock is worth holding at 50$/share, you will love to buy more at 30$ and you won't sell at $20, except if the business has deteriorated so much as that the stock is a sell. but then you sell it - you need not hedge it.

  • Ambac Collapse: Anticlimax of the Week
    as I see it, Moody#s willö be gone before all this is over. The helped to create this mess with their nonsensical AAA-ratings of RMBS and CDOs. They deepened the crisis with their flip-flopping and their strange downgrades (MBI/ABK; LEH!) at very strange junctures. Hank Paulson will not be amused about how Moody#s and S&P further complicated things and added to trouble by downgrading LEH and AIg while everybody trioed to put bailout plans togehther. I mean, for all the months they had already waited - they could have easily waited for another couple of days, not?
