Moet GM kunnen failliet gaan of niet?
Wat "too big" is "to fail" moet niet in privé handen blijven.

Downsizing...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/f...o-survive.html

"...
The government looking at expanding a pioneering scheme in Flint, one of the poorest US cities, which involves razing entire districts and returning the land to nature.
... concentrate on 50 cities, identified in a recent study by the Brookings Institution, an influential Washington think-tank, as potentially needing to shrink substantially to cope with their declining fortunes.
Most are former industrial cities in the "rust belt" of America's Mid-West and North East. They include Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Memphis.
In Detroit, shattered by the woes of the US car industry, there are already plans to split it into a collection of small urban centres separated from each other by countryside.
"The real question is not whether these cities shrink – we're all shrinking – but whether we let it happen in a destructive or sustainable way," said Mr Kildee. "Decline is a fact of life in Flint. Resisting it is like resisting gravity."
...
Places like Flint have hit rock bottom. They're at the point where it's better to start knocking a lot of buildings down," she said.
Flint, sixty miles north of Detroit, was the original home of General Motors. The car giant once employed 79,000 local people but that figure has shrunk to around 8,000.
Unemployment is now approaching 20 per cent and the total population has almost halved to 110,000.
The city is buying up houses in more affluent areas to offer people in neighbourhoods it wants to demolish. Nobody will be forced to move, said Mr Kildee.
"Much of the land will be given back to nature. People will enjoy living near a forest or meadow," he said.
Mr Kildee acknowledged that some fellow Americans considered his solution "defeatist" but he insisted it was "no more defeatist than pruning an overgrown tree so it can bear fruit again."

Binnen het huidige systeem, gedreven door korte termijn winstmaximalisatie, kan GM niet anders dan failliet gaan. Als je dat niet toelaat breng je het systeem, schade toe.

Credit swaps traders are facing the largest settlement of the derivatives since the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. last year. Banks, hedge funds, insurance companies and other investors bought or sold about $2.4 billion of protection on GM with the derivatives and roughly another $776 million through indexes that include the automaker, according to data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., which runs a central registry that captures most trades.

Als Magna GM-Europe overkoopt zou het geconfronteerd worden met verkoops-verboden over delen van de wereld,GM-USA probeert via allerlei middelen toch een hand aan het stuur te houden(zelfs met terugkoop-clausules...) en Magna zelf kan niet naar genoegen ingrijpen in de organisatie die ze eventueel zou kopen....(afdankingen,afstoten fabrieken,...).Zelfs Magna-financier Sverbank heeft al laten weten niet met nog meer geld af te komen...

Ook eerder afgewezen kandidaat-kopers verschijnen weer in beeld gezien er deze week plotseling "verbeterde biedingen" ingewacht worden.(dus: de verkoop van een autofabrikant gebeurt nu zoals in de bazaar,en een bieding is maar geldig tot de kandidaat verkoper nog maar eens een bieding uitschrijft.... 8O )

De zaak zal,zeker in Duitsland,steeds nationalistischer tintjes krijgen,al is het maar omdat Duitse overheden er finanieel en politiek aan verbonden zijn,willen of niet....

Er hangt een geur van mislukking in de lucht :?
