Government Motors

President Obama is proud of his bailout of General Motors.  That’s good, because, if he wins a second term, he is probably going to have to bail GM out again.  The company is once again losing market share, and it seems unable to develop products that are truly competitive in the U.S. market.

Right now, the federal government owns 500,000,000 shares of GM, or about 26% of the company.  It would need to get about $53.00/share for these to break even on the bailout, but the stock closed at only $20.21/share on Tuesday.  This left the government holding $10.1 billion worth of stock, and sitting on an unrealized loss of $16.4 billion.

Paypal out of China? ...peut-être du cash à faire là!

Remember that massive deal between PayPal and the Chinese B2B e-commerce siteDHgate? The huge one that was PayPal’s biggest partnership in Asia? 

Well, it’s all over.

Chinese media is reporting that DHgate removed PayPal as an e-payment option on August 6th, ending the tie-up that was announced in April of last year.

Reading International is one of the largest cinema owners in the U.S., but unlikeRegal Entertainment ( RGC), Carmike Cinemas (CKEC), or Cinemark(CNK), it isn't a name that leaps to most investors' minds. The Los Angeles-based company operates 27 cinemas with 266 screens domestically, including New York's fabled Angelika Film Center, as well as 29 cinemas with 213 screens in Australia and New Zealand.

The cinema business alone should be enough to put Reading on Wall Street's radar, but the company's real estate is of even greater interest. Reading's owned properties, including four in Manhattan, could be worth considerably more than the company's stated book value, which doesn't reflect years of property-price appreciation.

Capstone Equities, a New York real-estate concern, pegged Reading's value at between $12 and $14 a share in a May 15 letter to Reading's board of directors. That's more than double Reading's stated book value of $5.44 a share, and Friday's closing stock price of $5.07.

Capstone, a Reading shareholder, hasn't been shy about backing up its estimate with money. Earlier this year the firm offered $100 million for two of Reading's Manhattan properties -- City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3, located on Third Avenue, and the Union Square Theater -- a substantial premium to the properties' $32 million stated book value. Reading's management rejected the offer as "non-acceptable," but a sale could still be in the cards.
