Should this come as a surprise to anyone? It's certainly nice to see, but I'm not sure if I am pleased about the path that was taken to get the result.

Well, it was a path that had to be taken. It's not like it was a local mom and pops store going out of business. GM going out would have had a devastating effect across the world. It simply could not be allowed to happen. I think of it as helping someone out. You give someone a roof and a chance, then it's up to them. GM IMO has made the most out of their chance provided to them. GM!!

Good to see. Continual profits and award winning cars should raise the stock price for when the next batch of shares gets sold off. I don't like it either, but it doesn't take a whole lot of thinking to see that it was better than the alternative. In my opinion, people tend get a bit too focused on the process, rather than the results achieved.

When presented with a vaccuum, something always rushes in to fill it. I still don't buy the doom and gloom predictions that were given, but it's a moot point now.

A person can either choose to believe the bailouts were necessary to keep our country afloat or let the markets right themselves without government intervention and see what happens. This clip makes a lot of sense to me and personally, I don't think it was scare tatics on behalf of Uncle Sugar. I think they were scared shitless at the alternative to helping out.

Ok, but who would have bought GM's assets? Not Ford - they just got done mortgaging everything they own so that they could have a nice cash cushion, and the banks still weren't giving out loans when GM was in trouble. Definitely not Chrysler, as they were heading for bankruptcy themselves. That pretty much leaves foreign companies, not a prospect that I would want to consider...

They missed earnings estimates (by a lot) and the stock got hammered for it.
GM stock price hit a new low today, below the IPO price. Maybe bits and pieces, but probably not the whole thing. Toyota only wanted Corvette

Someone on this very site said that might well happen before the IPO happened. Who was that guy who didn't lose his money....
