Re: Govt sells last of GM shares, taxpayers 10.5 billion los

I believe it was a set timeframe to avoid driving the market. They did the same thing with AIG stock. Being a huge shareholder but not trying to interrupt the private marketplace on the exit like they did on the entrance. Terrible investment strategy for the Gov't but i think a necessarily evil for...

Re: Govt sells last of GM shares, taxpayers 10.5 billion los

U.S. taxpayers no longer own any of automaker General Motors. The Treasury sold the last of its remaining 31.1 million GM shares today. Just curious. Why did the government sell the shares when they did? Why not wait another year and possibly reap the benefits of a higher price per share? Was there...

How much of that is the government's fault versus the management of GM? Compare and contrast to AIG.....bailed out and completely rebuilt as a leaner more focused company. also turned a hefty profit for the taxpayers. Same government....different company leadership. One big glaring difference is th...

Re: Govt sells last of GM shares, taxpayers 10.5 billion los

I think what's more important is the long-term economic impact. Was keeping GM open worth the 10.5 billion invested? How much money will suppliers, dealers, workers, engineers, designers, businessmen, lawyers, auditors, and other people put back into the economy because they didn't lose their jobs?...

There are thousands upon thousands of private foundations that should be stripped of their tax-exempt status.

The IRS is entirely too inefficient to review them though.
