Jesse's Café Americain: AIG Lays an E-G-G: "value of risky debt has plummeted, forcing firms like AIG to reduce the value of their investments in products such as credit default swaps and mortgage-backed securities.
'While we anticipated a difficult trading environment, the severity of the unrealized valuation losses and decline in value of our investments were beyond our expectations,' Martin Sullivan, AIG's president and chief executive, said in a statement.
New York-based AIG lost $9.11 billion in its credit-default swaps portfolio during the first quarter."
