GM stock shares still receiving bids with bankruptcy prep
April 7, 2009
gm in "intense" bankruptcy prep: source | www.reuters.com
Our Private Equity firm has experienced tremendous (during the recent trailing 12 months) equity stripping (by market conditions and government interventions), and has left us wondering why would General Motors (GM), a bankruptcy candidate still receive bids? Twenty-Seven (27) millions shares trading as of 3:15 pm eastern. On the other hand Ford (F) shares have rallied (Ninety-Eight (98) million shares trading today) during the recent months and makes more sense for share accumulation, since they rejected TARP funds and have been executing a recovery plan for several years.

The risk of heavy outflows versus reality of transparancy

Swiss warn lifting secrecy ‘will take time’ | www.ft.com
Most of the financial community has demanded transparency within publicly traded corporate organizations - which seems appropriate if the public is to risk capital and buy stock of these equities. Now it seems the next directive is following the actual capital and making the global banking repositories provide transparency as well. Switzerland had succumbed to pressure on easing bank secrecy, but the full automatic exchange of tax information, as demanded by countries such as Germany, remained out of the question for Switzerland.

Hey, Barack: Hire Me! A four-day plan to restore the U.S. economy By James Cramer | www.thebigmoney.com
This is NOT Jim Cramer bashing! However, let's look at the man's and his employers disclosure! Personally I do enjoy the CNBC educators/entertainers/reporters especially those that have some action in the game, and I firmly believe if the viewer is tempered correctly, and takes this information with its proper disclosures... the information does no harm. And yes, perhaps even does some good!
