But I have absolutely no grounds for that hunch :) I only got some Citi because they are the biggest employer in my state and somehow even though up they are up s%@tcreek, they haven't laid anybody off here yet. Of course the timing of the gov't switching their investment to common shares sure made me wish I not bought any. Or at least waited a week longer...But that's how it goes when you try to time these things. I’m all for “the hunch”

Not sure I can say the same for Citi and JP Morgan though I'm hardly an expert... I'm basing 95% of this on a personal hunch. ;) DD — GE is a good call too… Not sure I can say the same for Citi and JP Morgan though I’m hardly an expert…

Earlier this week, I bought some Ford, Citigroup, JP Morgan & GE. I'm a small potatoes investor though, (about $1000 total). I must think like that guy at your work.

She works for a state school, and AIG is in some capacity responsible for state pensions. The government has already proven their commitment to not letting AIG fail, and there's more than a smidgen of self-interest there. It's the self-interest angle that got me. And I would totally buy Ford if I had funds in my trading account...hmm. Hey Brainy…my mom indirectly “persuaded” me to buy into AIG.
