    Fiat Pushes Chrysler IPO To 2014

    The Chrysler IPO will not happen this year. Forbes is reporting that Fiat has decided to not to launch the initial public offering of Chrysler before the end of 2013, citing that the short window before the end of 2013 is "not practicable."

    Not surprisingly, the hold up on the IPO is the disagreement between Fiat and the UAW's healthcare trust. Fiat currently owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, while the trust owns the remaining 41.5 percent. The company wants to buy the trust's share, but for how much is what the two cannot come to an agreement.

    The IPO was going to be the way of figuring out how much the UAW's healthcare trust share was. It's not entirely clear why Fiat decided to put the IPO on hold till next year. A possibility could be that advisers working for Chrysler are discussing a valuation of about $10 to $11 billion for the IPO. Given that amount, it would mean Fiat would be paying $4.15 billion for the share owned by the healthcare trust, a figure that considered to be much higher than what Fiat is looking to pay.

      The other one is when he holds a press conference and someone in the press asks him a question that he doesn't want to field and he just says, 'Next question.' That's because his entitled and corrupt a$$ is in gear, he doesn't want to be accountable, and they've let him get away with it for years.  We're now in 2026.  Does this mean Project 2025 didn't gel like they wanted it to? I can't believe how often he passes and makes nasty remarks to go with along with doing so.

      Idiot47 continues to prove just how corrupt he is and why he deserves to be in jail!!! 'Mind-blowing': Trump acts clueless when reporter corners him on corruption—until he won't shut up and unknowingly rambles into a confession

      I am seeing allot of non mental jobs that can be easily done by an AI bot get done, like you pointed out, the cleaning up and organizing of paperwork just so a company can then make intelligent decisions to move forward but this is over the next 5 to 10 years imho.  I do not ever plan to retire, but I do see my job evolving and with that what I might have to do in 20 to 30 years will look very different than today.

      www.NotGonnaHappen.com Maybe eventually but certainly not in 18 months. I’m seeing a lot of resistance to AI due to the costs involved. Plus, corporate data is so messy. Feeding messy data to AI is just asking for bad results. It will take years to clean up the data and maybe AI can help with that, but unless you’re starting a company today and building it with AI from the start and actually have AI super experts running things, it’s likely your data is too messy to use in AI right now. One of my clients is in a conversion away from paper and struggling with it. They’re not going to AI anytime soon. We won’t even be done the paper conversion until early 2028.

      Good morning ... Not versed enough in local politics, but she seems like more of a rag than not.
