Does anyone know what happens to common stockholders in this situation? Do they still maintain their shares after bankruptcy? If not, why should the UAW get prefferential treatment over those that have invested in Crysler? 55% ownership after NO investment seems like a heck of a payback from the O administration.
There's no publicly traded stocks in regard to Chrysler. If that's what you mean by common stockholder...
Who cares about the bondholders on whether or not they get paid back!
Their investments are passive....
The fact the investment is passive has nothing to do w/ it. Many Bondholders hold secured debt - i.e. when a co. sells the bonds they agree if they don't pay the bondholders back the bondholders are entitled to seize the assets (plants, trademarks, whatever) that back the debt. The company (borrower) gets to pay a lower interest rate in return for offering the lender the higher degree of security. If a company goes BK, those lenders have first right to the remaining assets. Not the employees and not the stockholders.
Politics is a rough and tough game. You, of all people, should know this.
It's only "thuggery" when the "other" side partakes in his/her position?
Anyway, those investments are passive.........
It isn't politics it is the law. Who gets what in a BK is determined by established BK law. Obama is trying to subvert those laws to the benefit of his campaign contributors i.e. the UAW. That's thuggery no matter what side you are on.
Look in your portfolios - maybe YOU are one of the investors.

I guess Obama in his infinite wisdom of the Constitution can interpret "just compensation" to mean "you won't go to jail" provided you comply.

It depends on the judge and the plans. Often times once a company files bankruptcy they receive a .Q status on the market, they become penny stock until a judge decides how much each stock share is worth. Those investors will often be issued new stock with the old stock being worthless.
This however is not the situation with Chrysler because Chysler is privately owned by Cereberus Capital Management (80.1) and Daimler A.G. who owns (19.9%)

It's more than thuggery - it is unconstitutional what they are doing.
Wouldn't you agree - or do you not care?
