I can sue you for the collateral damages for having typed that here. That's the problem with the beast. Every stock is somehow involved, and if not, the lawyers will make them involved.
You used the A word, I might have cancer now..... lol Law was never meant to be rational... Just to make lawyers rich.
took aig on a fairly decent short... worked out well... hopefully you profited on that news that was released earlier this morning on the asBESTos folks...
CPN, OWC are a couple of stocks off the top of my head. But all this asbestos stuff came out years ago.
yes granted.. however this morning there was a bill passed that limits $$$ on asbestos related cases or something to that extent... (just spitting this off the top of my head, dont quote me verbatim on that) so the reason for the thread was i wanted to know which companies were directly affected by these asbestos cases recently and which would benefit directly from this bill being passed... so all in all i wound up with aig on a $hort... thats all...
Oh, I see.....now that is a great reason to go shopping for them. Cigarettes also used to have asbestos in them. MO, RJR US Gypsum has some lawsuits too. I think it is USG. My husband is involved in some class action stuff with that as a plaintiff.
