AIG has over $1 trillion in assets - by far large enough to cover it's liabilities over time. It merely needed some liquidity that it did not have from most of its assets to cover the losses of the third quarter. That's the reason for the $85 billion loan, and it's the reason that AIG is safer than many people realize. As the market stabilizes, AIG will start to move back up in value.
