    government bails out aig

    Let's not forget the insurance policies, which will then go into the hands of the states they are underwritten. For example the state of NY will have to pay out the claims on NY AIG policies according to state law.

    government bails out aig

    I wouldn't worry if I were you. I don't think AIG clears its own accounts. Check on your statement. If there is a clearing house at the bottom, like Pershing, then your money is heald elsewhere. [Pershing is owned by the Bank of NY]. If they do clear, the assets are insured by the SIPC for at...
