You guys know about the Daimler Chrysler deal? The German Corporation cut bait and dumped Chrysler on an investment firm. The stress and uncertainty this causes one can only imagine.
My company is in the same industry and in fact DCX is a major customer. The shareholders of my company did not realize a return on investment on par with (for instance) an investment grade bond. Therefore my company is reorganizing and I must deal with it or get the hell out of the way.
That would be the easy way but not necessary a good way I can sleep with for years to come.
