Many of you are probably wondering why the U.S. Treasury didn’t just dump its entire stake in General Motors when the company held its IPO. Two things: that would have been a terrible idea, with billions of dollars in potential return lost in a second, and under the terms of the IPO, the Treasury is not allowed to sell a single share until mid-May of this year. However, according to reports, the Feds are hoping to sell off all of their remaining shares between then and two years from now.
If the Treasury hopes to break even on its investment in The General, they would need to be able to sell the stock at around $53 per share, well above yesterday’s closing price of $37.89 (which we display in a ticker to the right of this post).
