Let’s see, Oct. sales for GM, up 3.5%; for Ford, up 19%. Math is not my strong point, but GM wouldn’t get any stock purchases from me.

Uh, beg to differ with you. The usurping president (cough) of the United States, wiping his feet on the constitution, stepped in and seized the company, fired its CEO, ripped off any remaining assets owned by the stockholders, ripped off the bondholders and creditors, raided the U.S. treasury and dumped taxpayer money into the company and then gave it to his cronies and campaign donors. Now he wants more. Lots of riping off going on here.

I believe there’s more than enough information & evidence to convict either/both of Treason.

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

And that’s a quick, effortless search.

Why do I have this feeling that China will become the majority shareholder.

Will the Fed buy GM stock with some of their $ 600,000,000,000 early on to pump-up the price?

" This is simply another ripoff!! "

Big Jim must have read page 734 of GM's own IPO document:

“We have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are currently not effective. The lack of effective internal controls could materially adversely affect our financial condition and ability to carry out our business plan.”

"The use of private jets by the Detroit automakers to fly to Washington for Congressional hearings on an auto bailout in November 2008 was harshly criticized by lawmakers, who saw the jets as symbolizing the industry’s need to cut unnecessary costs."

Follow me on this...

1.) Ford Stock is on a tear as of late as they approach pariody i.e. cash on hand equals debt and they may soon obtain investment grade status.
2.) With that said Mutual Funds by their charter will almost be forced to buy Ford as they reach investment grade.
3.) What a co-wink-a-dink that the GM IPO is happening at almost the same time.

So will GM by accident or design be trying to ride on the coat-tails of Ford's success?

Inquiring critically thinking minds want to know....

“GM to Get Tax Break Worth Billions”

This is Obama rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies. $45,000,000,000 worth.

That is why GM is not going to get a dollar of my money. Starve the commie nationalized beast. I hope all those on welfare enjoy their $41,000 Chevy Volts.

Gab and all...

You miss the point, and that is not a hit on you.

The 45 billion is approximately GM's Retirement Liability that is still hidden within the books and never got expunged since their bankruptcy was not normal and violated all rules of bankruptcy.

1.) QE2 puts cash in the system to buoy the markets.
2.) GM goes public at the same time.
3.) Team Obama gets rid of this 45 billion large with a slight of hand.
4.) GM ride on the coattails of Ford working their @$$ off to get out of debt as they approach "parody" i.e. cash on hand equals debt and their stock being on a tear.

So I ask, is team Obingo creating another market "bubble"?

“1.) QE2 puts cash in the system to buoy the markets.
2.) GM goes public at the same time.”

VERY interesting connection of the dots. The more I think about it, this is no coincidence at all. This is market manipulation on the grandest scale in full view of the public. If I were to read this kind of crap in a novel, I would say “no way could something like this happen - too far fetched.”

There is no way in h*ll Obingo ever could get re-elected if the IPO of GM bombed. This SOB is putting the entire economy of the world at risk to try and get re-elected.

Which leads to your last question...

“So I ask, is team Obingo creating another market “bubble”?”

I would say yes, and it may be the mother of all bubbles as they plan to coat the entire US with a thick layer of printed money to ensure the GM IPO is “successful”.

And there will be h*ll to pay when the inflation scythe cuts down the remaining wealth in this nation.

No wonder all his economic advisors are quitting and getting out of DC as fast as they can.

Very insightful post.
