RELATED TICKERS: AIG
Last week, Rep. Paul Hodes (D-New Hampshire) famously quipped the answer to the question “What does AIG stand for?” as: “Arrogance, Incompetence & Greed”. That got me thinking about how mad I’ve been about this whole financial sector bailout thing, simmering just under the brim of my thinking cauldron. First, I’m gonna do some complaining.

Whose bottom are we going to see this week? Not the S&P500's, despite near-constant chatter about its possibility here and elsewhere in the news & marketplace. I think you're more likely to see Britney's bottom than that of the market's this week.
