Michael,

Don’t expect them to give you a slice of this cake…we just pay for it.
Such volume a week before the split indicates that someone knew something before you and me (and took advantage of it).
This is a dirty game. we know it, but there is nothing we can do about it…
Let me give you another example –
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aeTzfvEedKpQ
Here is an excerpt from this story:
Morgan Stanley plans to repackage a downgraded collateralized debt obligation backed by leveraged loans into new securities with AAA…
“A lot of banks and insurers cannot buy anything but AAA… You’re manufacturing AAA out of not AAA, therefore allowing those people who have AAA written on their forehead to buy.”
This is less than a year after the bubble burst…how much do you think it will cost us this time?

I tried to short the stock the first 2 days after the reserve split and Raymond James did not have ANY stock of AIG to borrow in their whole system

75% of all reverse splits loose money within the first month.

90% loose money if the stock was a under a dollar prior to the reverse split.

Talking about AIG – The volume was really high the week before the split. my guess – someone sold short ahead of the news.

AIG loses 50% in a week and decides they deserve a bonus: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/aig-set-to-pay-millions-in-more-bonuses-report-2009792056560

“Anytime we write a check to anybody” it is highly scrutinized, the report quoted an unnamed AIG official as saying. “We would want to feel comfortable that the government is comfortable with what we are doing.”

– These jokers actually think they deserve a bonus? Madness.

Sorry to say when it comes to the government the impossible is possible:

This is why we stopped watching the news in our house. Too bad I always still find out about it one way or another, often times on your blog.

I get my news mostly from Stewart & Colbert, at least it comes with a laugh then (sometimes)
