GM is certianly meeting my expectations of a nationalized company.

The stock is below the IPO price and well below the break even price for the taxpayers to get their money back.

Their market share, continuing to fall...





Both the cars and managment are meeting government expectations!

Taxpayers still own about 26 percent of GM, and it looks increasingly unlikely that they'll ever get their money back: The share price would have to rise to more than $54, and it's stuck in the low thirties. Here's why:

GM's management team lacks stability, with Dan Akerson being the fourth chief executive in less than two years (oh, and CFO Chris Liddell recently resigned).

One of Akerson's main focuses has been to ballyhoo the Chevy Volt, but Consumer Reports says GM's hybrid "just doesn't make a lot of sense." More important, it isn't selling -- only 1,210 Volts have sold this year through the end of March.



Yep.  Celebrate good times, come on.

Don't feel bad...there's even teabaggers on the GM forum praying for the companies demise and downplaying any good news with stuff like that. Just like the folks in my sig pic telling the President to "keep your damn hands off my Medicare!", they don't have the sense to realize what horrible shape our country would be in today if GM and, to a lesser extent, Chrysler had been allowed to go under.

Gloom and doom! Boy...you guys are party animals!

On a side note, it's interesting the influence Drudge has on GM's stocks, huh?

Take, for instance, General Motors. After a seemingly successful IPO last fall, things have tanked. In recent weeks, GM’s stock price has been–in the words of CBS MoneyWatch columnist Conrad de Aenlle “in a tailspin.” As de Aenlle pointed out on March 7:
 

After being offered for sale at $33 a share last November after GM emerged from bankruptcy reorganization, the stock climbed as high as $39.48 in January and has headed downhill ever since. It reached a new low of $32.01 on Friday, below the issue price.
 
And since then, the stock’s dropped even further, hitting $30.65 before the market’s close Thursday.
 
The execs at GM have a lot to think about, but they might want to cross their fingers, light a candle and hope Matt Drudge forgets their company exists. Why? GM’s ended up on the Drudge Report at least seven times since the IPO. And no, they weren’t good news. Take this Drudge headline from March 4: SHOCK REPORT: GM sells just 281 Chevy Volts in February, or this one on April 1: Government losses in GM far higher than claimed.

And another side note, after reading that, It's become apparent you've gone all Sam on us with your use of Drudge as a source.  Embarrassed
