AIG had a great operating quarter,said Robert Benmosche(pronounced Benmoshay),CEO of the insurance titan,with a 1.56 billion dollar profit.All of the operating units have been performing well.Thailand lost 368 million-a little above what we'd like to see,but Japan was the big problem,in the wake of payouts for the countries' 2011 natural disasters.
We see the U.S. economy as being pretty strong.Jobs and housing are doing better.We're pretty optimistic about 2012.
Our job is to build a great company.We're gonna focus on the owner who wants to hold the stock for a long time.We're working hard for our shareholders,clients and employees.
The government wants to get out of AIG as prudently and as quickly as they can.They feel they should be able to sell that stock at break even or a profit for the taxpayers.
People still need to save for their retirement.The annuities are selling reasonably well in this market.We provide the public with certain guarantees.We'll take care of that volatility.
Unfortunately,I have cancer,but I'm enjoying what I'm doing.There's no guarantee,but I'm gonna keep going until I can't.I'm feeling good.The doctors are working on some stuff,the tanned and fully bearded Robert Benmosche revealed.He agreed to lead the recovering insurance company in 2009.
Mr.Benmosche,67,had been CEO of Metropolitan Life.The married father of two,a New York native,has been treated with aggressive chemotherapy for an undisclosed type of cancer.
