Bruce Nunnally Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Nice email from GM to their mailing list: Dear Bruce,We value and appreciate your loyalty more than anything. We are proud to announce we have repaid our government loan – in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule. We realize we still have more to do. Our goal is to exceed every expectation you've set for us. We're designing, building and selling the best cars and trucks in the world. Like the award-winning Chevy Malibu, the all-new Buick LaCrosse, the versatile Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon and the innovative GMC Terrain, just to name a few. As we move into the future, we're thankful to have loyal owners like you. We invite you to learn more about the new GM and join our community, by visiting gm.com. And once again, thank you for your support. Susan E.

JimD Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't have the citation but I do remember reading somewhere recently that GM was planning on a IPO in 2010 or 2011. For someone with a 5+ year investment horizon, a new GM should get serious consideration. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

WarrenJ Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 "Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Ann Arbor-based Center for Automotive Research, points out that the company has applied to the Department of Energy for $10 billion in low (5 percent) interest loan to retool its plants to meet the government's tougher new CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards. However, giving GM more taxpayer money on top of the existing bailout would have been a political disaster for the Obama administration and a PR debacle for the company. Paying back the small bailout loan makes the new—and bigger—DOE loan much more feasible. In short, GM is using government money to pay back government money to get more government money. And at a 2 percent lower interest rate at that. This is a nifty scheme to refinance GM's government debt—not pay it back!" GM's Phony Bailout Payback The company is setting the stage for another taxpayer shakedown Shikha Dalmia | April 27, 2010 http://reason.com/ar...bailout-payback There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
