what was the last company that had $300 billion in liabilities and a stock market capitalization of $4 billion ? WaMu.

GM balance sheet, 190 billion in liabilities, market value of $3 billion.

Ford balance sheet, 260 billion in liabilities, market value of $5 billion

(those pages have links to the income statements.)

Europe WAS one of GM's bright spots.

i watched WaMu fall from a market cap of about $8 billion 6 months ago to the recent $4-$5 billion, before it got assigned to - whoever. final sale price - $1.8 or 1.9 billion.

i think GM and/or Ford are about to go BK. what banks would be most impacted by GM or Ford defaulting on their debt ?

How about we bail out the automakers, and let the taxpayers go bankrupt instead?
