Hank Greenberg AIG Suit, Bull Market Next Spring?For those of you not paying attention to the Financial News, we've got an important case that could alter the market next Spring. Why next Spring? This is when a decision will be made as to who will pay or not pay Hank Greenberg and others up to $40 billion dollars. Not only that, if the US Government is on the hook for some or all of the award, it could allow others to sue the US Govt for violating constitutional and contract laws during the Financial Crisis. Greenberg's argument is that shareholders we're not given just compensation for when the terms were agreed upon by US Government and AIG. If the judge in this case decides that US Government did not abide by the law during these takeover, we could be talking about hundreds of billions of dollars being paid to former shareholders from other takeovers to prevent supposed bankruptcies. $700 Billion Dollars were used in 2008-2009 to bailout many companies. US Government profited by $22.7 billion from the AIG takeover. US Government also profited from other companies such as Bank of America and Citigroup.
From Bloomberg By Andrew Zajac and Christie Smythe
...In consideration for an $85 billion LOAN FROM the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the insurer had to agree to a 14 percent INTEREST RATE and a demand for an 80 percent government equity stake, arrangements that cost shareholders as much as $40 billion, Greenberg claimed. Led by attorney David Boies, Starr’s lawyers argued AIG investors deserve that money back.
The AIG bailout ballooned to $182 billion. The New York-based insurer eventually returned to profitability and repaid the assistance in 2012, leaving the government with a $22.7 billion profit.
In the trial, the U.S. argued that it had authority to demand equity, and that the bailout was voluntarily agreed to by AIG’s board as a preferable alternative to BANKRUPTCY.
Boies, 73, has used government correspondence to argue that, instead of being a hedge against risk as U.S. lawyers argued, the stiff costs of THE LOAN were an attempt to make money.
Much of the case has focused on Starr’s allegations that the government coerced AIG’s board into accepting the bailout, and EXERCISED control of the company at key moments afterward.
Those elements are crucial to Starr’s claim the government took shareholders’ property without just compensation, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Spring Verdict
Wheeler gave both sides until next week to finish submitting evidence, including material from the trove he forced the government and others to produce. He set a Feb. 9 deadline for both sides to file conclusions of law, with closing arguments to follow as soon as March.
AIG Inverse head and shoulders?Will be interesting to see if this turns into a bonafide Inverse head and shoulders. Won't know for a while.
AIG Daily (14.08.2014) Technical Analysis TrainingThe American International Group (NYSE:AIG) Daily Diagram Technical Analysis Training shows the following:
The AIG share has broken the neckline of SHS pattern that we have mentioned in last diagram. Now AIG is trying to breaches the Kijun Sen into the KUMO.
MACD is bullish under the zero line and RSI is 50 to bullish. The volume is moderate.So the first think in mind is the reversal and the breach of Kijun Sen resistance.
There is no special candlestick pattern. The share is into the KUMO and above the Kijun Sen (the bet for today) and Tenkan Sen too.
Long AIG if it positive today for 54.63 first and watch the 2.618 of fib as a level. Otherwise stop loss and short for 53.12 first.
AIG Daily (15.07.2014) Technical Analysis TrainingThe American International Group (NYSE:AIG) Daily Diagram Technical Analysis Training shows the following:
The AIG share has made a long term development with the support of Kijun Sen & Tenkan Sen lines (for 3 months now) (light blue & light green). These support lines are above the KUMO, which means that the AIG is bullish in long term. The weekly and monthly diagrams are both bullish to neutral.
So the first think in mind is the red resistance line. MACD is bearish and RSI is neutral to bull. The volume is moderate.
There is no special candlestick pattern. The share is above the KUMO and above the Kijun Sen and Tenkan Sen too.
There is SHS pattern that has solved downtrend but the KUMO support was very strong.
I make some long thoughts in the case of breaching the red resistance line.
AIG - short on the financial sectorAIG had a very bearish signal a week ago. Because of some news, it went up again with a gap, only to reject the 54 level. A double bearish divergence on the histogram and a triple bearish divergence on the FI, with a false breakout, all on a weak weekly chart. I shorted at 53.36, with a stop at 54.44 targeting the 50$ round level, and maybe even 47$, allthough it's hard to go all the way to 47 without a stock market panic.
Weekly picture here :
AIG - Up or Down?Trying to figure out where this thing is headed. My guess is up as long as they keep executing their plan and improving their matrix.
AIG: Major Top?The Multiple weekly pin bars mark 46.50 area as a major long term support and a key directional level, i mean by directional here a main influence to price action. Holding above that support keeps the overall bullish trend intact. Although we have seen signs of topping in the past few months, as the bullish trend hasn't been as strong as earlier stages.
Price completed a bearish shooting star candle last week, hinting we might see another push and retest of 46.50 support level, which coincides with the main 52-week SMA and just above the main support of the long term rising channel.
Accordingly, I believe this area is technically major, watch out for a break below it as it may signal a strong bearish reversal.

That's one bullish weekly candleDaily engulfing at the resistance line as well. Should have continuation. This trades like the SPX with higher beta
AIG rolling overThere seems to be profit-taking going on here in AIG and the stock continues to lag the broader markets of late. The ultra-cheap valuation is no longer there (see my older posts on buying AIG when it was much lower) and investors are simply pulling money off the table here and finding other bargains in other sectors (like oil stocks). Look for more profit taking and sell rallies back to the 47-48-49 area once 46 is breached. There should be some stop orders down around the 47-46-45 levels that the market could trip on a decline just under these previous lows. I don't think that 42-41 will be tested but 45-44-43 seems to have my attention as a target zone. Long term I am bullish on AIG, just short term it looks vulnerable.
Cheers.

PS - I don't know how an ABX chart was published when I published AIG. STRANGE.
AIG...TREND CHANGE IN PROGRESS!Right now is either a good opportunity to go long or almost a good time to go short, depending on how you feel about the financial sector.
Quick overview.
On the rise since May
Recently broke 100 day EMA but bounced back over it.
Recently gapped down below old support line.
Still under old support line.
Short-term on the rise.
Formed a bearish engulfing pattern today touching resistance line.
I am overall bearish for 2 major reasons, the gap down is a major bearish signal and it lost the support line.
If it closes into the blue shaded area close long positions and go short.
I will keep updating as this progresses. Any other thoughts?
AIG Weekly Study 11/17/2013Note on chart.

Due to the earning report, AIG sustained a large drop today of 6.5%. It broke through the weekly support @ $50.34, and filtered with the 2nd weekly support at $48.33, and finished just south of it ($48.28).

AIG Weekly Analysis 10/26/2013AIG long and strong on the weekly candle.
This is a continuation of a series of previous posted charts .
As show here, on weekly chart AIG now broke the resistance at $50.3, into the next zone of consolidation. I expect the RSI to drop a bit (to around 60-70s) before continuing the next leg up. The bullish trend is certainly up and strong.
Disclosure: No position in AIG at the time of analysis
AIG Weekly Chart 10/12/2013Another break out coming soon?
This is a continuation of a previously published chart. Looking at the weekly chart, what becomes evident is that
#1. AIG is in a bullish trend
#2. AIG moves up in a step-wise fashion
Despite of government shut down, AIG was able to finish the week solidly in the positive territory.
RSI > 70 appears to be associated with progression to the next step. Based on that hypothesis, I expect that AIG to break above $50.3, landing into the next step. This may happen as early as next week or the week after, assuming macro is intact.
