Taint, thank you for being honest. There is at least one member in this forum (or maybe Y or G) that would have pumped the sheit out of it only to inform the board -after the fact- he no longer has holdings or just a few. And it's not Joe stock.
My humble opinion is that I disagree. I had aig prefereds and sold at 19.26 (2010) and I regretted. the preferred aig reached 25. the risk reward is not a reason to sell when you hold the initial approach. the current approach says Professor R. Epstein.
