#3 Treasury will provide $3.8 billion to the auto lender, which has struggled to raise private funds.

Hmm. You don't think that large, institutional investors might be a tad skittish about Government Motors after having seen other large, institutional investors get hosed in the bankruptcy proceedings might have something to do with that?

Naaaaaah.

#4 large, institutional investors might be a tad skittish

They might be, but the investment managers will buy anyway, once they receive the 'right' personal compensation. Now the small, individual investors...we aren't buying. And we aren't putting as much in the hands of the large institutions either.

#6 Two strikes, one more and they're OUT.
I see hordes of potential buyers refusing GMAC financing, go with your home bank, not Government Motors. (Anybody else remember Al Capps "General Bullmoose Motors"?
"What's good for General Bullmoose, is good for the USA")
