GM on path to financial stability?

GM’s finance subsidiary may sell the first bonds in two years in the coming months. Such a move would signal increasing investor confidence after the company’s credit ratings were cut to non- investment grade in May 2005, explains Bloomberg. The financial publication attributes GM’s improving financial situation to restructuring lead by CEO Rick Wagoner.

typical “wall street analyst” comment.

investment bankers – the children of the privileged, bringing you know-it-all-isms and plutocracy since the dawn of american capitalism.

my guess is, they know exactly what the costs were before they ever considered such a program. you think their actuaries aren’t good? GM’s are probably the best outside of the insurance industry.

Seems like it was just yesterday that “analysts” & “investors” where calling for Ricks head, now he’s the leader of the new era at GM. My how things change.

Ideally, the company languishes for another five to ten years to teach all a lesson.

So what kind of yields are we talking about here? I’m interested in about 18-20% yields. Why? Cause I can get about 15% yield on some high dividend stocks. So these guys better pay, even if it is raking over the coals with the returns I’d demand.

if you can get a 15% yield guaranteed I’d be interested to hear about it cos you are clearly an investment genius. Thanks.

It would be nice to see them going again…for Michigan’s sake. We are dying over here with jobs.
