last heard was Lehman Brothers... (no one is buying to save them) now AIG ! our dear name printed on those Man U shirts ! AIG May Seek Help From Federal Reserve, WSJ Says (Update1) 2008-09-15 01:37:08.240 GMT (Adds impact of possible ratings cut in the fourth paragraph.) By Hugh Son Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- American International Group Inc., the insurer seeking to stave off credit downgrades, may seek help from the Federal Reserve, the Wall Street Journal said. The insurer has turned down a private-equity investment because it would have meant turning over control of the company, the Journal said on its Web site, citing unnamed people familiar with the situation. Chief Executive Officer Robert Willumstad, 63, is under pressure to raise capital after three quarterly losses totaling $18.5 billion and a 79 percent stock slide this year. Investors are concerned the New York-based insurer can't raise enough cash to cushion against future writedowns from credit-default swaps, which are contracts AIG sold to protect fixed-income investors. A ratings cut may have ``a material adverse effect on AIG's liquidity'' and trigger more than $13 billion in collateral calls from debt investors who bought the swaps, the insurer said in an Aug. 6 filing. AIG has already posted $16.5 billion in collateral through July 31. A downgrade could also set off early termination of swaps that may cause $4.6 billion in payments, AIG said. AIG spokesman Nicholas Ashooh didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment. --Editor: Dan Kraut, Rob Urban Edited by myphotoshop, Sep 15 2008, 10:23 AM.

economist said long ago the us market should have crashed, but it didn't. there is still alot of money flowing into the us to keep sustaining it at it's current state. this been going on for almost 1 year if i'm not wrong. wonder when the major correction will come ? some say soon, but no one know for sure. the us gov and lots of other major gov are doing all they can to prevent it from happening. |

rough and uncertain times indeed. the worst bit is this is not confined to the banking/ financial industry. the fallout will have much far-reaching impact across economies and countries. the biggest and most immediate impact will be a recession caused by knee-jerk reactions and ppl start spending less. not that i advocate that but this is a time to start cutting back a little, save it for a rainy day. you'll never know...
