AIG is back! The insurance giant that was saved by a $182 billion government bailout during the financial crisis has sold off assets and boosted capital in its insurance business, helping it emerge as a leaner, more focused financial company.

It ended the year as the most widely held stock by hedge funds, pushing Apple down to No. 3. How times have changed.
