General Motors Sale

Posted by admin as stock prices

If you’re looking to buy a car these days, you may just be able to get the whole company.

General Motors, the #1 U.S. Automaker, is looking to sell off any of its 8 brands in efforts to make money and sell off brands that aren’t attracting customers.

Only Chevrolet and Cadillac, who represent GM’s core business, are considered to be safe. While, Hummer, was recently put up for sale, and the likes of Buick, Saab, Saturn, GMC, and Pontiac are said to be in the mix.

Company philosophy has always preached to control the market share as the key making money. But now, they are potentially moving to sell off their position in the industry to their competitors.

Rising oil and raw material prices have translated to GM’s worst stock prices in 54 years, which are now below $10 a share. And the company needs some $15 Billion in funds to improve liquidity, and avoid bankruptcy by 2010.

Also on the table, is the possibility that GM will cut thousands of the 76,000 white collar jobs in North America to help turn a profit.

Directors are set to meet in early August to further plan the direction of the company.

A move that doesn’t help the 17,000 people out of work.

As GM sees its market value fall below $5.73 Billion, its future will be a tough road ahead

The Internet Money Machine - USA

Posted by admin as shares

Aug 1999
Internet trading is driving the biggest money boom in American stockmarket history. Is it already the next industrial revolution?

In a small New York office casually dressed twenty-somethings gamble thousands with the click of a mouse. On average these day traders keep their volatile shares for just 4½ minutes. It’s a world away from the sweaty hollering of Wall Streets’ New York Stock Exchange. The meteoric rise of internet trading has sidelined the Wall Street of old — the online Nasdaq exchange is the preferred forum for leading net firms and for the footloose day traders. In just one year 25 year-old Nick Birbas has gone from waiter to laptop legend riding the bull market and earning $10,000 a week. The payoff in Dot Commerce is spectacular. A pair of computer nerds built an entertainment website, called it Globe.com, sat back and watched as frenzied financiers snapped up their shares. “People said you guys are now worth 97 million dollars each!” So will the bubble burst? Like many other internet firms Globe.com have yet to turn a profit. In the clubs of Wall Street many believe stocks like theirs have been wildly over-valued. “Old timers like us wait for the day of reckoning,” smirks one analyst. But for now there really seems to be no end to this boom.

Market Report - Asia Stocks Rise after U.S. Bailout

Posted by admin as shares and stocks

Asian stocks rose on Monday as investors hunted for bargains after the U.S. government unveiled an
unprecedented 700 billion dollar bank bailout plan.

Financial giants Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were forced to gave up their cherished investment banking status in return for cover from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

In Japan, the Nikkei rose to a one-week high, buoyed by financial shares like Japan’s top lender Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Nomura holdings which has reportedly bid for parts of Lehman Brothers in Asia and Europe. But traders said the market rebound could fizzle out if Japanese firms cut
their earnings outlooks amid the global economic slowdown and lingering concerns toward the complex bailout package and its long-term implications.

In Hong Kong, Chinese financials like ICBC extended Friday’s massive rally after Beijing said it would ask leading banks to buy shares to stabilize the markets.

China’s main stock index, the Shanghai composite rose sharply as investors hunted for bargains in the worst performing market this year.

On the downside, shares in Chinese dairy producer Yili Group dropped after its products were caught up in a widening Chinese scandal over tainted milk products that has put nearly 13,000 infants in hospital.

Oil prices meanwhile shed strong gains to steady above $104 a barrel as investors questioned whether the bailout would truly succeed in stemming future losses.
