From them I got a font that combined with the "ink saving" option on my printer, uses less than half the normal amount of ink, and still totally legible. just an example.
chart got messed up when it broke below support level of .035, however briefly. other indicators perked a bit though. what is this form called? pennant? the pole and down sloping triangle, i mean. (chart is delayed but should update during the day)

AIG 1.81, +0.08, +4.6%) is expected to report a net loss of about $5 billion in the first quarter, the Wall Street Journal reported on its web site Wednesday. The sizable loss highlights the vulnerability of AIG's core insurance business as write-downs continue to hurt its bottom line, the newspaper said. AIG, which is scheduled to release first-quarter results this Thursday, posted a fourth-quarter loss of $61.66 billion, or $22.95 a share. The U.S. government has extended some $160 billion to the financial firm to avert a bankruptcy. End of Story

Report: AIG close to selling Japan headquarters
Report: AIG close to selling Japan headquarters for $1 billion
* On Monday May 4, 2009, 8:34 am EDT
TOKYO (AP) -- Embattled insurer American International Group Inc. is close to selling its Japanese headquarters for around $1 billion to help pay off its debt to Washington, The Wall Street Journal said Monday.
The 15-story building will likely be purchased by a Japanese insurance company, though the timing is unclear because of this week's "Golden Week" holidays, the paper said, citing unnamed sources. Financial markets are closed through Wednesday.
A spokesman for AIG in New York declined to comment on the report. Phone calls to AIG's Japan headquarters went unanswered.
The deal would be among the biggest divestitures New York-based AIG has made to reimburse the U.S. government for its massive infusion of aid, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Although the building is 35 years old, it sits on prime real estate in central Tokyo, next to the Imperial Palace. AIG's roots in Japan extend back to 1946, and the company is now the country's biggest foreign casualty insurer.
The U.S. government provided AIG with an $85 billion loan in September. As market conditions worsened and losses piled up at the insurer, the government revised and expanded its loan package to AIG several times. The package of loans now totals nearly $180 billion after being expanded in March when New York-based AIG reported a fourth-quarter loss of $61.7 billion, the largest ever quarterly corporate loss in U.S. history.
As part of the loan package, the government has also taken a roughly 80 percent stake in the insurance giant.
AIG may also be nearing a deal to unload its airplane leasing business, International Lease Finance Corp., The Wall Street Journal said.
Churn baby churn.
Awesome race. And one of my fav teams in second, Baffert/Gomez.
My favorite bet was always to box 4 horses trifecta with at least one of them being the longest long shot, nice income supplement while consuming my $1 dogs and drafts on a warm Hollywood Park Friday evening.
sigh* now I'm homesick.
Wow that is a lot of new posts here. great close yesterday.
Happy Walpurgis Nacht/Night, Valborgsmässafton, Siste April!

certain outlets. pick and choose. let reason abound.
agree. i just cringe when ppl pull out the "MMs are short!" line. Like even if they were, they couldn't have covered by now?
I just don't like seeing that kind of cliche pump type junk on an actual solid (as far as I can tell) stock.
you seem like a smart poster, i'm sure you know what I mean.
shorts and squeezes and games and tricks is all blah! it is a solid company.
buy+hold.
you can't find a more solid stock, so near bottom prices, than this.
edit
not @silverbullet really, more in general
wall st = evil
just hold and forget it, or sell and move on.
or flip and forget about everything but L2.
i'm read up now. you guys seem pretty sharp on divvy plays. i'll have to dd hte, pgh, and xtxi now =)
thanks all for the L2s
whats L2 looking like?
tia
got in at 4.37 the other day. looks like a good one for long-term hold and divvy payments. time to read up on the old posts here.
DSHL rockin agian. my 032 buy got skipped =(
yowza. DSHL went nuts late day.
not really, kind of new to the divvy game. but something like what buckey said. There are trusts that have to pay out a percentage of profits in the form of divvies. so i'm looking for really oversold ones. i think real estate and banking will be rebounding by Q4, that's what my magic 8 ball says to me. =D
wow. lots of new people here today. crazy move. i've been holding this forever now, may as well average down now, as much as i hate to do that. it looks like the time has finally come.
i'll give a lower case "weeeee."
i ended up making 4% i think, so not all bad.
oops, saw that i wrote 1.80 as my buy, was actually 1.18. oops
awesome. thanks for the tip!
i know, punched myself for not buying some then. just too busy lately to trade much. putting most cash in divy holds, work and other things keep me from active trading these days.
any divvy tips are greatly appreciated =)
oops, realized they are canceling divvies.
took this instead now.
PVX. 13% yield, will be 25% if they return the divvy to previous level. pays monthly
sold after i realized divvies are canceled after the next one.
in PVX now. 13% yield, will be 25% if they return the divvy to previous level.
record option volume too...
bought a little bit today as a long term hold. i'm bottom fishin these days.
Welcome to this fine board, that I did not create lol. I just bought some today at 1.80 as a long term divvy hold, and maybe we'll see it swing way back up as well in pps.
