Fuck AIG

Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 11:07 pm

Seriously, dude, the fact that AIG is being permitted to “gift” $165 million in bonuses makes me want to take a pitchfork and throw it, mind you, through my local congressman, if you know what I mean.

On top of that, we find out tonight, via bullshit AIG disclosure, that American tax payers dished out $170 billion dollars, thus far, not to just bail out the fuckers at GS, but loads of foreign dickfaces, clamoring for U.S. dollars.

Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank, Barclays and scores of foreign banks are eating caviar on your buck. Oh, and Goldman Ball Sachs received more than all of them, close to $13 billion. Well done Secretary Paulson.

In other words, we bailed out AIG, to save the bond guys at Pimpco or whoever is long AIG paper, and GS. Without government funds, GS would be trading close to $00.00.

Fuckers. Fuck AIG, Fuck GS, and fuck taxes.

Fuck, fuck, fuck fuckitty, fuck.

NOTE: Cronkite has the breakdown of U.S. funds deposited into foreign purses.

    Solution to the financial crisis from the link Wood provided

    Gather up AIG’s smartest and brightest. Cut their dicks off (sorry for being a chauvinist), shove them in their mouths, shackle them and parade them naked in down town D.C. Promise the same destiny to any executive that was involved in the decisions made over the 2004-2007 period and who refuses to pay back their bonuses and/or refuses to invalidate any CDS contracts they wrote at the time.

    Oh yeah, about that little bear market rally we were having last week…the one that the “Fast Money” guys told you to buy into..yeah, well.

    I, Indian born, raised in the US, was never brainwashed to believe everything kind, smiling folks on tv say, and questioning everything is the only true way. Of course, i understand your view that in India, CEO would be held responsible, but understand that Indian eat alot of cholesterol and maybe they get too emotional at times. We are trying to become americans more than most americans understand. Remember, India is where all type of folks live, and people have learnt to live with differences in cultures. From what i have seen here, media always perpetrates Indians as angry folks through showing the clashes, since thats all the news we can get here. Also that stupid indian movie that some brit made, is gay. It may be the nationalist part of me or just the fact that the actor looks like a douche.

    All in all, indians are calm, rational folks. If you steal something from them, expect retaliation because respect is important in our culture. If i was still in the age of wars, i would say something like this “Meet me as friends, id lay my life for you, meet me as enemy, and i shall lay your life for you.” Hmmm…im sure ill reincarnate in another era of destruction where my poor line will come in handy.

    More about me: believe in god but don’t know which one, thank brits for infrastructure and technology, but please so suck a dick, and all the spartan women, please raise my child to be a true man.

    :Any spartan blood left these days?

    Pitchforks and torches in the streets won’t happen when it’s the semi-affluent bearing the brunt of it. We’ll get p.o.ed, but no big protests and so no change in govt tactics. We’ll deflate along for a couple of years, then deflation could reverse sharply and we could have high inflation. That would get people out into the streets in a jiffy.
    One question I have, though, is this: given that all countries are in the pooper, making the US a giant among midgets, is it possible to have multiple simultaneous currency collapses including the US? In other words, a no-safe-haven worldwide currency fuck-up.

    IG-
    I, as an American, don’t recall ever seeing Indians portrayed as angry or really anything other than calm and rational. Pakistanis, on the other hand, are frequently portrayed as angry wackos. But they totally deserve it.

    Welcome to the globalisation of the markets. You can’t have it both ways Fly – i.e. globalise when it suits the American taxpayer and nationalistic when it doesn’t.

    Henry, with the gun crazy still hot, and bullets nonexistant in Alabama store shelves due to the same, do you think SWHC has the potential to hit a 52 week high and move up from there still?

    you think it could slowly inch up from 5.00 to 7.00 and then head up to 8.00? The gun craze is not slowing up, if anything it’s getting hotter….I just bought a Rock River Arms AR15 CARtactical5.56 and no gun dealers that are RRA in my town have any in stock, one dealer has had 30 on order since October and still has not received one yet. I had to drive to another town and they only had one in stock and I bought it and of course had to pay 160.00 over retail because they have jacked all guns up beyond retail prices since if anyone wants them, they HAVE to pay the price, knowing one day the prices could go up even more…..

    just want your thoughts?

    Even More Parallels

    Summary

    -We take a look at the increasing number of parallels between what is happening now and what happened last year

    We’ve often related how one of our mentor’s favorite sayings is that history doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been writing that this saying seems to apply more and more to the current situation. This past week has brought more parallels.

    Stocks

    On February 24, with the S&P around 743, we ran a column with the title “Stocks Just Entered Short-Term Oversold Territory.” By the end of that day, stocks had surged, the S&P was up 4%, and we were getting congratulatory phone calls. But we told those callers that something wasn’t right, and that this action actually made us uneasy. If someone had just read our title and then saw the 4%, it could be said we were dead on. But a careful reading of our column shows that once stocks hit oversold, they usually (but not always) fall further before the bounce begins. As they fall, the credit bears tighten the trailing stops on their positions. That leads to a panicky blow-off low, initially led by short-covering in response to a couple of news items, but then bringing in stock buyers who believe the worst is behind us. That buying then often takes stocks back above the level they became oversold at.

    The latter part of that paragraph describes the last week, especially the part about bringing in the stock buyers who believe the worst is behind us.

    Credit Markets

    As with the stock bounce at the end of last year, the credit bears “rang the register” and did some temporary short covering of credit with the intent of returning to re-short at higher prices.

    Comically, the same crew of swing traders, who were badly burned by their own pumping up of credit at the end of last year, went at it again. In just a few days, they took HYG (the fund that purports to be a junk ETF, even though it poorly tracks a poorly composed index) from a 3% discount to a 4% premium.

    So, just like last spring and last winter, the wrong people are buying credit, at least the junk variety.

    What is interesting though is that, like the panic that began in June, investment-grade corporates did poorly last week despite the euphoria in stocks.

    What is even more interesting (again, like the panic we saw last June), the panic in money markets broadened out.

    It took a full year for a ratings agency to downgrade GE, and then only a notch. The result was a “relief” rally in GE’s stock and corporate bonds.

    But their short-maturity bonds continue to indicate panicked bondholders. Remember, the issue is not how strong GE is, but rather how strong its bondholders are.

    While GE’s short-maturity bonds gained a little, a number other short-maturity issues worsened. Again, for every issue that we see getting bad bids, there are many getting none.

    Conversations

    This action produced an interesting dynamic at the money market conference that we co-chaired last week. It was as if people could see this action, but were in denial because it hasn’t impacted commercial paper or money market funds.

    Traditional money market funds have seen inflows in the last few months, and the commercial paper market has clamed down. Many of the formal presentations noted this, and there was widespread hope that this would continue.

    But we lost track of how many times we had the same conversation with our friends at various points during the conference. People would ask us what we think lies ahead. We would say: “you know that if you bid 25% for the 3-month Genworth bonds that were yielding 14% a few months ago, you would probably own the whole issue. You know that if you bid 20% for the 15-month HSBC bonds that yielded 7% a few weeks ago, you would probably own the whole issue. You know that if you bid 14% for the 15-month Bank of America bonds that yielded 7% a few weeks ago, you would probably own the whole issue. You know that if you bid 8% for the 18-month American Express bonds that yielded 5% a few weeks ago, you would probably own the whole issue.”

    Our friends would typically respond with a downcast “yeah.”

    Then we would say: “you know we can go on listing more of these for a while. You know they are owned by the “cash-plus” type of investors that have no appetite for losses like these, even though they just spent two months pushing to find higher yields. Do you think this action will get better on its own.”

    Our friends would typically look at their shoes and say: “I know. I was just hoping it would be different this time.”

    Conclusion

    Stocks are working off their oversold condition; in a similar fashion to when they reached oversold last June and October.

    The wrong people are buying junk bonds, just as they did on a number of occasions last year.

    The panic selling in short-maturity corporates is broadening, as it did after it began last June. There is a chance that this panic could just blow over and wither on its own, but that has never happened. While it may take a few months, as it did last summer, the odds favor this panic eventually impacting the stock market.

    2 If the banks report some reasonable earnings in April

    3 If there is something done about the toxic assets

    4. If the stress test is painted in a somber by rosy picture – this too can be done

  90. Thank you all for saying “Fuck AIG”. You have no idea how they are fucking up my life and I would LOVE it if someone attacked the AIG building.

    We are suing our realtor for not disclosing to us that our sewer system was never permitted and is not in compliance. He knew, we can prove it. So, he turns it in to his E&O insurance, which is AIG. My husband had to give up a great job, a place we wanted to be, we lost our earnest money on a house we intended to buy, I quit my jobs, yes jobS, in preparation to move (we are pretty poor), and because of our sewer situation we are stuck in a place we loathe (40 below and 9 months of winter, with a school that sucks, on and on and on. So, AIG goes and spends friggen $60K by now, and intends to spend more, to fight our claim. We’ve been in this for over a year and a half and just before trial, they get a motion granted to amend their answer to our complaint which ends up limiting the money available to settle to the point that it’s just a joke. In the meantime, our attorney, who took this on contingency because it is, or was, such a good case, has put in $60K of his time and will never recover it.

    AIG is plowing over peasants like us while we bail their asses out. I don’t even have words and I cannot possibly comprehend or deal with the injustice of this bullshit.

    Ya know what is a amazing…for the last eight years Bush & Co has racked up trillions (the day before 9/11 they announced 1-2 trillion of the defense budget was ‘unaccounted for’) an nobody gave a rats ass. This taxpayer money was used to bomb the @*#& out of people thousands of miles away because we swallowed the bullshit about WMD…
    In comparison AIG is a drop in the freaking bucket. Our boys & girls slaughtered and Iraqis slaughtered but oooohhhh whoaaah AIG gets a bailout, “No way man…no way”!!!
    Now the tax payers are mad, boo fucking hooooo. 1 in a hundred Americans is in prison or on parole…our kids don’t read, their parents watch TV 6 hours a day, half of Americans are on anti-depressants. AIG? …we’re mad about AIG getting free money? How about the Partiot Act that essentially removed the constitutional rights of every American, AIG.WTF Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    The French have been burning down the country for 2 days now (burning anything to do with America and Capitalism). American media will not cover this. 85,000 participating in France, 250 riots in all. American’s are apethetic.

  95. asana says:

    To hell with pitchforks. We need torches and guillotines for these luxury addicted financial sociopaths.

    I’d start by tossing Bawney Fwank into the slammer along with his gay prostitutes. I’d sling Chris Dodd into a maximum security hellhole, too, along with the execs who have been paying off these and other politicians for God Only Knows how many years.

    This nation desperately needs a taxpayers’ revolt.

  97. Rob Adcox says:

    Asana, we’re not all apathetic. And I really don’t give a shit if you like american citizens or not. As far as I’m concerned, you’re just another arrogant French twat (or an arrogant French twat wannabe). Go eat some snails.

    Sushi,

    before you go blaming all of this on the Republicans, remember that this shit has been going on since Carter. I blame your ignorance on public edu-ma-ca-shun.

  99. Rob Adcox says:

    you took the words right out of my mouth-fuck AIG. I have zero respect for these people-who have no moral base. How- How-How can these people look at themselves in the mirror? And did they really think no one would find out? are they really that dumb? I wish one them lived next door to me. It angers me that every month people are struggling to make ends meet while these fuckers use our tax dollars to squander to who knows where.

    I agreed G W Bush and Dick head Cheny fuck us real good. Just wait when hyperinflation
    come soon to the picture, and the derivative bubble burst. Hey we voted for Bush in the second time around so bend over and kiss your dumb ass GOOD BYE. We dug our own
    grave and who are we going to pass the shit to our great great great children. If Man
    does not go into WW Three with China. A yes They are paying our debt and one day they
    will come to the Feds counter and cash in those T-Bills that they have. What a Country.
