Update to AIG battlefield. The stock received another downgrade from a major player, however the stock has been pulling it own weight, into the close it started a major rally, light volume and possible short-covering. Traders are starting to hedge their bets with Calls and Puts. Note: That the stock was dumped at the alter, the last 15-minutes or so. Maybe the party is over for a bit, and we drop it to the $35 per share level . . .

This is a 5-Day chart for AIG with a Daily Chart. AIG showed extreme weakness, compared to the over all market. However, this stock will turn on a dime, if it has to. Case in point Sep 9, open a short position with good analysis to the dowside, we thought it would continue and we got caught with our hands in the cookie jar, before dinner time. As you can see, from the 5-Day that the stock bounced right off a support level of $36 per share and has not looked back since then. A little run and bump with Timothy speaking in front of a committee. AIG ended down for the day. GS was positive for the day.

AIG appears to be forming a island reverse with a bear flag attached to it. Let's see what will happen in a the next couple of days, as options expiration is next week for the Sep Options.

BTW AIG was and is apparently try to sell partnerships (instead of sell it completely) in the remaining asset they have, inorder to payback the TARP money the owe the TAXPAYERS. Also, they are looking to do an IPO for one of their companies as well.
