Anybody in the market? I was long AIG for a few days, I sold on Thursday at $48.50 to lock in a $3 a share gain with the hopes of buying again on a dip when it hit $46 or so. Big mistake. Hopefully I can get back in today.
I've also recently gone long WB, C, T, AFCE and JMBA. I have positions in AHR, INTC and ETFC. I'm a little underwater on T and WB, a lot underwater on C.

Got in large w/ AIG at 45. Also AHR, WB, and T. I got out of CAT recently, so that's probably one that will skyrocket.

I was long in LPHI but exited too early. I believe the recent uptrend was just a short term correction on a long down slope.
What kind of investors are you?
I'm more of a swing trader than anything. I don't have the patience or mentality for long term plays. Ergo, I am 90% TA/10% FA.
I'm guessing from your earlier statements you may be more fundamental.
I was actually head-hunted and flown out to AIG not too long ago.

I got back in AIG the other day at 48 and change. She rode up to 52 and change. Earnings were not good, so it's way down in AH. I hope she dips under $45 because I will buy another couple hundred shares. The market is so freaking panicky about CDOs, subprime and swaps. AIG has almost a trillion dollars in assets. $5 billion here or there is nothing and most of those writedowns will come back into the earnings as they perform over time. AIG is just a victim of mark to market rules, however, the core business isn't great right now since the insurance market is very soft due to the lack of any big disasters last year - e.g. the hurricane boom that the global warming theorists projected never materialized.
I generally only buy blue chips that are thrashed that I can somewhat understand the business. AIG is a freaking black box, but I know that they hire the best and the brightest so I trust them to get the stock back up into the 70's or 80's within 2 or 3 years, when I'll sell and wait on the sidelines for another panic.

I'm thinking about getting in for the first time with either some Disney or VISA (at the IPO). Of course I will get in for Green Bay Packers stock when they sell some.

Ouch.... Hey man, the stock is back to $62. And Hank Greenberg won his case against the government. Pay no attention to the 20 for 1 reverse split. Or the fact that the court said Hank's damages were $0. |
