I recognize they are profitable now, partly as a result of a product lineup that was planned and engineered years before the bailout. Stock is a forward looking investment, and looking into the future, I have concerns. I have no faith in a future product lineup planned and executed under government ownership. I know of no government owned entities that have ever been successful in the long run.
As a potential investor, I would also be greatly concerned by the UAW, which is already agitating to roll back their concessions and start getting "their share" again after just a single profitable quarter. It's not hard to foresee where all this will end, because we already saw it last year.
