GM Bankruptcy

May 30, 2009

GM tying up loose ends for bankruptcy, freep.com reports. The iconic automaker’s stock closed at 75 cents a share Friday, after trading as high as $18 during the past year.

The Detroit automaker locked in a labor deal with the UAW that the union says will save GM as much as $1.3 billion a year. Germany’s finance minister said a plan was approved for Canadian auto supplier Magna to move ahead with a rescue of GM’s European Opel division.
The 100-year-old automaker even scheduled a news conference for midday Monday in New York City — the place where most observers believe GM will file for Chapter 11.

President Barack Obama is to discuss the auto industry in an event set for Monday, and White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president’s daily economic briefing on Friday focused on the state of GM and Chrysler.

“It’s incorrect and not accurate to say that somehow … that the unions have given less or haven’t played their part,” Gibbs said.

There are many players in the GM bankruptcy drama, including workers, taxpayers, and bondholders, to name a few. The amended 2007 national contract covers 54,000 hourly workers, who voted earlier this week.

Becoming a Banana Republic?

May 15, 2009

In its depth and suddenness, the U.S. economic and financial crisis is shockingly reminiscent of moments we have recently seen in emerging markets (and only in emerging markets): South Korea (1997), Malaysia (1998), Russia and Argentina (time and again). In each of those cases, global investors, afraid that the country or its financial sector wouldn’t be able to pay off mountainous debt, suddenly stopped lending. And in each case, that fear became self-fulfilling, as banks that couldn’t roll over their debt did, in fact, become unable to pay. This is precisely what drove Lehman Brothers into bankruptcy on September 15, causing all sources of funding to the U.S. financial sector to dry up overnight. Just as in emerging-market crises, the weakness in the banking system has quickly rippled out into the rest of the economy, causing a severe economic contraction and hardship for millions of people.

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time.

But I must tell you, to IMF officials, all of these crises looked depressingly similar. Each country, of course, needed a loan, but more than that, each needed to make big changes so that the loan could really work. Almost always, countries in crisis need to learn to live within their means after a period of excess—exports must be increased, and imports cut—and the goal is to do this without the most horrible of recessions. Naturally, the fund’s economists spend time figuring out the policies—budget, money supply, and the like—that make sense in this context. Yet the economic solution is seldom very hard to work out.

Skype. What Is The Reason

April 16, 2009

According to many reports, Scandinavian Skype’s co-founder and former chief executive, Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, are going to get back the Skype they sold to eBay four years ago for $3.1bn. They may be encouraged by the fact that eBay has just sold StumbleUpon back to its founders, two years after buying it.

It is no secret that eBay has been thinking about offloading Skype – eBay’s sales are starting to slump, and last year it announced plans to cut around 1,000 staff. It also hasn’t been able to integrate Skype as deeply as it planned (boosting sales by letting buyers call sellers directly).

On the other hand, there are plenty of reasons to hold on. Skype now boasts more than 400 million users, and had revenues of $550m last year – largely a result of its 8% share of the world’s international calls. It is also starting to make progress in the mobile world after years of stuttering.

But the question is: why Skype’s former chief executive wanted to get it back?

Pahaps they are romantics which are focusing on the pair’s entrepreneurial egos, their need to see their creation fulfil its potential. But this is rather too emotional reason.

“When the duo sold Skype, they kept control of a crucial technology that underpinned it – a piece of peer-to-peer software that they licensed back to Skype through another company, Joltid. Without Joltid’s technology, Skype’s value is greatly reduced, so eBay is under pressure to settle the case (presumably with better terms for Joltid), or sell Skype. If so, the best price is likely to come from the founders’ consortium – which could, of course, guarantee a deal with Joltid”.
