GM Right Notes - Another Investing Option

GM Right Notes

Excerpt (from SEC Filing):

Whether you’re an investment pro or just starting out, it’s important to consider the best place to invest your money. GM Financial Right NotesSM are a new option for you to consider. Right Notes are more than just an investment for you — they are an investment in us. They offer a tiered rate of return, and unlike some investments, you have access to your money at any time with no additional fees. “GM Financial Right Notes is an investment program that functions similar to a money market fund,” said Dan Berce, President and CEO. “Your investment will earn daily interest at a rate higher than many savings accounts, and your interest is automatically reinvested monthly.”

Comment: Rates below. I think my TBill strategy is better ... but this is an option

FCA & GM?

Six reasons show Fiat Chrysler making play for GM

Excerpt:

The companies are taking it seriously. GM and FCA have hired financial advisers to evaluate a potential deal, according to a report from Reuters on Wednesday. GM has hired Goldman Sachs, and FCA has hired UBS, according to the report.

My take on what it could look like:

• Jeep .... a valuable brand and GM does not have a Jeep like vehicle
• Minivans: ... GM does not have a Minivan
• Cars: The Chrysler 300 could be an intermediate brand between Buick and Cadillac. The Chrysler 200? I don't see a future for it but reviews against the Malibu are favorable.
• Trucks? FCA has some commercial light delivery vans that I don't think GM competes against
