Lear Exits Bankruptcy Protection
Wall Street Strategies submits:In a time when government bailouts have become commonplace, an act of true capitalism has found its way back. There is no question that the auto industry was completely decimated by the economic crisis. Seeing as the industry is pivotal to the U.S. economy, the auto makers got government handouts in the form of direct cash infusions (some for equity) while others saw government incentive spending which boosted sales. Following the food chain for the auto industry, one could argue that the cash for clunkers program helped auto parts suppliers too, but it was the industry’s only form of “bailout.” The Auto Task Force and President Obama denied the auto parts suppliers industry its own bailout, however, the government did lend a helping hand guaranteeing many of the owed payments from the auto makers. So without direct government aid, many auto parts suppliers were forced into bankruptcy, and if history has showed us anything, it would be a long arduous trip back out of bankruptcy for these companies. More recent examples are the problems with Dana Corporation (DAN) and Delphi, which are still struggling to emerge from bankruptcy. Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
