A postive outlook for GM from JP Morgan

http://www.reuters.com/article/compa...BrandChannel=0

This was a great read after all the doom and gloom outlook out there.

Seeing JP Morgan stand behind GM does look good. I am glad they see it our way...that GM has to survive and that bankruptcy is not an option. I see how they mention that if they do file Chapter11, people will be concerned about buying the higher dollar SUV's, Caddies, etc.

I hope lots of folks see this. If everyone bought in, it would help greatly. But, that just won't happen. We need the gov't to step in and make things happen. Mandating a 50mpg emiisions deal is BS. That senator needs a good kick to the groin.

The Detroit automakers have, in essence, been pursuing an out-of-court restructuring over the past three years. These efforts have produced a competitive labor contract with the UAW, a viable solution to reduce retiree healthcare expense, and a substantial downsizing of capacity and headcount," analyst Kip Penniman said in a report.
"Incremental gains achieved through bankruptcy would be minimal in comparison and would likely result in an even further deterioration of enterprise values as consumers would be far less likely to purchase an expensive vehicle from a bankrupt manufacturer, with or without government guarantees," he added.
