I’m glad someone wrote something decent on this.
What about GMAC, you ask? Good question. GM sold a majority interest in GMAC, but still owns 6.7% direct and another 9.9% via a trust (and the US Treasury owns 56.3%). GMAC’s business is making loans on GM (and Chrysler) cars. It is worth noting that GMAC was not, and is not, a subprime auto lender.
You can almost hear the “dun dun dunnnnnnnn.”
