While it is true that this is a traders board the "Out of Topic" discussions here are among of the best of the net! (And long term stock holding cannot be THAT much out of topic anyway...)
The real question I believe you were asking was: "Has AIG been damaged enough to warrant liquidating the holdings?"
And Zeev gave you his answer: "Nope, it's still a good company. Just weather the storm."
I don't believe you were out of place, although I can understand people being slightly disappointed when they realized you were not talking about gazillions and gazillions of dollars here... <g>
