Cash Sink Hole GMAC Catches Last TLGP Train Out Of The Station With $2.9 Billion Free Issue

Tyler Durden's picture




With the FDIC-backed TLGP program set to expire on October 31 (with a 6 month safety net optionality, whatever that means), GMAC did all it could to jump on the last train leaving the cheap taxpayer funded capital station. The government subsidized provider of car loans for cars nobody wants priced $2.9 billion of 3 year notes. Luckily for the UAW and for the autobailout fans, the issue came in to price at a measly T-31.6 bps: a yield of 1.753% which would be unheard of had GMAC actually tried to tap the private markets. Oh yeah, and it is AAA rated. Thank you Sheila Bair for putting another $2.9 billion of taxpayer money in harms way and with a virtually 0% probability of recovery.

[PRICED:] USD2.9bn 1.75% 10/30/12. At 99.991, yld 1.753%. T+31.6 (MS-10). Settle 10/30 (T+2).

[GMAC Inc] Aaa/AAA/AAA in the market with USD2.9bn (will not grow) SEC registered global 3-year fixed rate TLGP trade via joint books Citi/DB/MS/RBS. Issued under TLGP, gtd by FDIC with full faith and credit of the United States. UOP: GCP.

Oh, and let's not forget that GMAC is an (undercaptialized) bank holding company. So next time you have a cool million lying around, why not deposit it with the best UAW-endorsed money manager around. What - no deposit branches... Hm, that can't be. Someone please get Sheila Bair on the line stat.

We won't run out of money, we can always print more.

The correct answer is: until people stop accepting the money we are printing.

Whoa, this is the oldest enterprise since 'they' invented government, aint to stop for a long time more - 'they' see the us like you should - go rent a modest altitude, say low teens airplane and fly all day anywhere on the coasts, atlanta, dallas, chicago, houston, denver, salt lake and on and on - baby there are houses and cars and mommas and school districts - you can see the roofs, the cars, the ambition.  They are not dry yet.

Anarchy doesn't work, gold doesn't work - speculate but don't think you'll trade a smidge of gold for your life when the goths and visagoths come for you, if that is what you prefer to an attempt at government.

So Taxpayer money goes to GMAC and their Alley Bank with the highest interest rates in the country.  These subsidized rates are stealing deposits from REAL community banks that actually lend money responsibly.   F*** GMAC, Cerberus, Geitner and his B.S. stress tests, and the horses they rode in on.

You can't have everything.  But if you are a first time homebuyer, you can buy a house for up to about $228,000 with no money down using a combination of a 96.5% FHA loan and the $8000 first time homebuyer tax credit.

Act now, this offer expires November 30!  No wait, April 30, 2010!

Oh, and let's not forget that GMAC is an (undercaptialized) bank holding company.

According to the Ally Bank website:

You may be asking...
Is my money safe with Ally?

Yes it is. We're one of the [best capitalized banks] in the country. And all Ally accounts are covered by the FDIC up to $250,000 per depositor.

[best capitalized banks]:

As a new bank, our Tier 1 capitalization leverage ratio is almost triple what is deemed "well capitalized" under the FDIC's regulations.
