AIG in talks with US on guarantees-Wall St Journal

WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - American International Group (AIG.N), the insurer rescued from collapse by the government in September, is in discussions with Washington about a federal backstop for some of its assets, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

AIG is also considering selling units through public offerings, the newspaper reported, citing an interview with AIG Vice Chairman Paula Reynolds.

"We're looking at a broader array of recapitalization options," Reynolds said.

"We both realize that the environment's changing and we have to adjust to that environment," she said, referring to the federal government.

Backstopping the insurer's assets would be similar to guarantees the government provided for assets belonging to Citigroup (C.N) and Bank of America (BAC.N), the Journal reported.

"We are consulting closely with the U.S. government in conjunction with our restructuring," AIG spokeswoman Christina Pretto told Reuters.

Officials at the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The government rescued AIG in September with a loan from the Federal Reserve, as the insurer faced a cash crunch from losses on securities tied to mortgages. AIG has also received a capital infusion from the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Then the lineup begins - ABK , a mortgage and security insurer gets in line. This could be a good thing for ABK. I am willing to bet that AIG gets its way, because the mortgage and security insurers just got slammed with regulation last Friday and that is what caused the mortgage and insurers to take a drop. I am willing to bet that they get the help they want and AIG and ABK will climb fast....any thoughts on that anybody? I think ABK would win over AIG as far as profit goes. ABK is all ready bullish.

Ray, what do you think? Or anybody?

Just kidding. I'm with Bill..my picture will cost you at least 1 LCD screen. when the 1st one blows, you'll say no one can be that ugly..So you will go to another computer and damn same thing happens.

AIG will probably pop pretty good Monday am with govt news. If they can secure govt backing for toxic assets...Maybe good long term play.

I am glad that there are two ugly ducks in the pond, you and I. I was getting lonely there for a few minutes.

That is it, get me all worked up, Just, now I will have to go check it all out on AIG...Really, it can't remain shit forever....hmmm I will look.

Bill... first of all let me say there is no such thing as the brotherhood....And if anybody insist that there is I have them shot....Ha Ha Just a joke....This is a disclamer...I have nothing to do with any organizations or brotherhoods..

Which SiriusBuzz thread are we talking about.....i want to read it...but cant seem to find it!

SIRIUS BUZZ radio four posts down in the discussion section of the forum.

I think Im good on AIB....but thinking about AIG.... I only have about $2200 left to play with so I want to use it wisly....You will be home and so will I.. so we can keep close tabs on what going on a make some smart moves!

Ya, it will be an exciting day. I hope the market goes down on Monday! Down is good for investors. I know that is contrarian, but like you say, buy cheap and sell high. We are in the buying mode so down is good for right now. It only works to our advantage to when it goes up.

Question: You said that AIB gives a dividend of how much??

Just Sirius, did you delete one of your posts? I thought it was funnier than hell! Just so you know....;)
