The View from AIG: This Time We’re Sure Houston’s Never Gonna Flood Again

A few months ago it was fog, this afternoon it’s a rainbow over downtown . . .

I miss the view of downtown from my old office at American General but not nearly as much as I miss the value of my remaining AIG shares, from $1,600 to $44 (adjusted for the reverse split). American General was a conservative and profitable company bought out by greed and risk.
