It might be an overstatement to say that AIG (NYSE: AIG  ) wants Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC  ) head on a platter, but it's not far-fetched to say that the insurer is ready to get tough with the bank. With one more court ruling going to AIG's win column, a long-standing suit can start moving along, with $7 billion in damages hanging in the balance.

AIG: 2 BAC: 0
A federal court judge ruled in favor of AIG on Monday when she wrote that the insurer did not give up its rights to pursue certain legal claims after it sold troubled securities to the Federal Reserve�Bank of New York during a 2008 bailout. This ruling clears up a major blockade that had halted any proceedings, with Bank of America claiming that when AIG transferred the securities to the FRBNY, it lost any ability to sue over the investments.

This new ruling came after another in favor of the insurer, which petitioned for the case to be moved to the state court systems -- arguing that the federal court system was not the correct venue for the case. A judge agreed, with a ruling that the case should be heard in the New York State courts.

  Joe Klamar, AFP/Getty Images Since Steve Jobs stepped out onto the stage to launch the world's first iPad in the second quarter of 2010, Apple's offering has been the device to beat in the tablet space. Apple (AAPL) has sold over 170 million tablets since the iPad's debut and if analyst expectations are to be believed, that number will balloon in the current quarter thanks to the release of the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina. But while many analysts are bullish on Apple's latest offerings, the cold hard facts reveal the iPad king is losing market share in the tablet space. New data compiled by research firm IHS show Apple's market share slipped to 29.7 percent in the third quarter from 33.5 percent in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, aggressive pricing strategies are seeing companies such as Samsung, Lenovo and Taiwan's Asus gain ground in the tablet space. As demand for smartphones tapers off, Samsung has begun to focus on the tablet market. The South Korean tech giant is now one place behind Apple with 22.2 percent of the market. Addressing analysts on its third quarter earnings call, Samsung said it plans to increase tablet shipments by 20 percent in the fourth quarter to take advantage of demand over the all-important Christmas period. Rhonda Alexander, director of tablet research at IHS, says Samsung is employing a similar strategy to the one it used to beat Apple in smartphone shipments -- offering users a range of options at a variety of prices. "The erosion in Apple's unit shipment market share was inevitable ... Cheaper almost always wins the volume race, and the competitors were quick to adjust pricing when it became clear that it was impossible to achieve anything close to Apple's unit growth at the same price level," she said. This has seen a surge in the number of tablets selling for less than $250 -- helping lift Google's (GOOG) Android to the No. 1 operating system by tablet shipments in the quarter. But the race to the bottom on

  This morning, Deutsche said it earned to ��34 million ($443 million), o ��.32 per share, down from ��56 million in the same quarter last year.

  Revenue rose 2% to ��.22 billon from ��.02 billion.

  Analysts were looking for the company to earn ��.82 a share on revenue of ��.39 billion.

  Legal costs were the big drag in the quarter, as Deutsche is involved in investigations into the manipulation of interbank rates and the U.S. mortgage business, among other issues. The quarter included a ��30 million charge for potential litigation and related costs, and Deutsche said it now has litigation reserves of �� billion, up from ��.4 billion at the end of the first quarter.

  CFO Stefan Krause told analysts that the bank has already hit its targeted leverage ratio of 3% under European regulations put into law in June, but too many moving parts make calculating the ratio under new proposals impossible. Analysts are estimating the bank�� new leverage ratio is 2.3%.
