Bernstein Research is making a big bullish call on AIG. In this video, Foolish financial analyst Matt Koppenheffer looks at why Bernstein is saying AIG is a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity. The big reason? AIG trades at half book value, while insurance companies trade at or twice book value. AIG's emergence from U.S. Treasury ownership also enhances its appeal.
