    U.S. Treasury Reports A $9.7 Billion Loss On GM's Bailout

    The U.S. Treasury's sell off of General Motors stock isn't faring so well. According to a new report from The Detroit News, the U.S. Treasury has reported a $9.7 billion loss on the $49.5 billion bailout of GM back in 2009. This figure comes from the quarterly report from the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program to Congress.

    The U.S. Treasury original stake in GM back in 2009 was around 60.8 percent. Since that time, the Treasury has been selling off shares in a effort to make back some of the funds used in the bailout.

    The Detroit News says for the U.S. Treasury to break even, the share price would have to be around $147.95. That isn't going to happen since GM's current price stands at $36.06 at the end of yesterday's trading.

    While this was not unexpected, I was hoping that they would have held onto their shares longer to at least break even.

    Here is to hoping. :)

    For those that think we should have not done this at all, the worst thing would have been to stand by and do nothing and have a far worse price tag on our country.

      South Florida, lots of folks from Cuba and PR.  My high school in the Keys was very diverse.  Cancer.  Was only 39.

      Interesting mix.  They are neighbors, geographically,  but with very different personalities.  I've had many Cuban friends, but never any Puerto Rican ones.  Not that I care, but it's something I've noticed. That's young.  What happened if I may ask?

      Hyundai News:2026 IONIQ 5 EV Lineup has Major Price Reduction

      By Drew Dowdell · Posted

      Part of this was planned a few years ago. Hyundai moved production of the Ioniq 5 to the U.S. to help with pricing. before tariffs were a thing.  I think the 2026 model year is the first full year of US production.
