I want the Goberrment to take over Exxon and make it a state run entity. Tough luck Exxon, it's a matter of National Security.

Why should we as taxpayers get stuck with all the losers? Take a winner why don't you? It can help offset the losses.

Everyone wins... ;)

I hate to bust anyones bubble, but AIG is a very solvent company. They are big and ponderous, but they are solvent and efficient enough.

What happened was a chain of events that brought the shorts into the trading frenzy, caused the stocks to dive, the rating agencies to demote, and the regulators to demand more cash in reserve while the credit market was frozen.

I bought some stock this week, as a matter of fact.
