And, out of curiosity, the actual net profits or losses on the Volt.

In other words, I haven't seen any hard figures as to what is happening. And I know for a fact that I won't be seeing any on the 6:00 news.

What I read is that the stock price needs to reach over $43 for the govt. to break even on the remaining shares.

I see the ipo rocketed past it's offering price. $34.19 at closing. Dang it.

If the Feds do so well on the market perhaps we need to look at investing social security

Agreed, amazing!

No. Too many idiots, electing people who are "Just like me (Them).".
Hold on to you hat Erik, the monkeys will soon be running the zoo.

Damn, I am real sorry but I still can't see how this is any different that Tenessee giving the farm to Nissan and Toyota, juts because it is an American company everyone wants to bug the boardroom, but the foreign makers can do no wrong.

Fortunately it would appear tha public is finally wising up, GM, Ford and Chrysler sales all UP, Toyota DOWN.

One can only hope that the American public would start supporting high paying union jobs and let the Orwellian pricks over at Toyota go to hell.

But, I don't see it happening. Most of them have been brainwashed into thinking those who stand firm for a strong wage are the pussies. Real men bow, scrape, kiss ass and cow tow to authority on the job.

Just posting because rorpoccamma's stock is very low in my estimation. Trying to get his posts out of the front of the line.

Actually, it needs to reach $53, and it looks like it'll miss that threshold.
