many felt gm had to build plants like orion.was modernize or be run over by the auto business of the 1980s. how does gm, or any business, decide what will be profitable? we asked economic analyst richard gill. essentially what gm had to do in considering this investment was to compare the expected rate of return with the cost of money needed to finance the investment-- the interest rate. how does one calculate this expected rate of return? let's consider a simple case. a firm is considering putting $1 million into a new piece of machinery. this machinery lasts only a year. during that year, the businessman expects this machinery will add enough to output to increase revenue by $1.2 million. the ra of return is 20%. the way we would calculate it is by this formula. r is the expected rate of return. in numbers... if the interest rate is below 20%, the investment will be profitable. if it is above 20%, it will be unprofitable. in real life, it is more complicated. the new plant and equipment would last many years. guessing the expe

now, remember, gm was bailed out by the u.s. government during the financial crisis, treasury says it's now recovered around $38.4 billion of the $51 billion it spent on gm's bailout and restructuring. after the government stake is sold, gm would be free of certain restrictions on things like executive pay, the canadian government and united auto workers health care trust still have very large stakes in general motors. now, on the options front today, about 45,000 calls traded today versus 42,000 puts. so decently even, and shares of gm are up around 30%, melissa, so far this year, so interesting action for sure on the options front. >> thank you, dom. the government back, will gm follow another ward of the state, aig. let's call to the chart, the one and only carter braxtonworth. >> interestingly of course the government lost money in general motors and made a lot of money in aig. let's look at the charts. here's something interesting. this is a one year chart. and aig and general motors have nothing to do with one another, but

thinksds to me everybody gm went under because of the car manufacturing.'t believe it was the case. they went under because of the financing. gmac financing is what got them in trouble. they know how to make cars. they always did and they always will. investing in pension funds -- and all their money was going into the financial part of their business and nothing into the production. and then they got in trouble and now we bailed them out. host: we will get a response. guest: i think it was a little more complicated than that. you are right -- the financing side certainly played a role. remember back around 10 years ago if you turned on the tv you would see an ad from dytech,com offering a cheap mortgage and that was gmac and in the housing boom that was a moneymaking machine. hundreds of millions of dollars a year for the company. when the downturn came, several problems at once. one was the financing side. when from a moneymaker to a giant money loser and started to pull down the rest of the company. the car business itself was not that healthy. yes, gm

by the time the depression started in 1929, sloan and gm had overtaken ford.ry. ford brought out a new car, the model a, that offered colors and options like gm cars did, but it was too late, ford had to settle for second place, then for third place behind the new company of former gm executive walter chrysler. we live in a world of change, but not all that much has changed in the auto industry since general motors pushed ford from command. gm is still in first, and consumers still watch the advertising and choose among cars that vary more in color and cachet than in costs. when economists talk about supply and demand, they're usually talking about price competition. but the battle between general motors and ford wasn't over who had the lowest price. we asked economic analyst richard gill if that holds for the rest of the economy. what you have in the case of the american automobile dustry, especially in recent years, is competition between a relatively small number of firms. we don't have a monopoly, which means a single firm in control of the industry. we do

gm is hedging bets on a hyde brid vehicle. the volt matches tessler's 480 range, but only with a full tank of petrol, making it 60km on electricity before the fuel-powered engine kicks in. tessler can refuel an empty car in half an hour compared to 6 hours. >> gm will offer fast charging on a spark later this year. it's still a step behind tessler. analysts say for a full-line manufacturer like gm, that's fine. >> they look at what can they do now or what do they need to do. is it okay to say, "it's okay for tessler to take a lead." it's not like they are taking all the sales out there. >> gm will forsake the need for speed as long as it wins the popularity contest. >> still ahead - day of the dead. the mexican holiday that honours loved ones that passed away. >>> it's a celebration that begins the same evening as halloween. but it's a tradition entirely of its own. we are told about the day of the dead. >> it's a legend that still sends chills through mexicans nearly half a millennium later. a tragic tale of what happened whe

but gm is hedging it's bets, with a fleet. they can match tess la's 480 range, making it 60 kilometers on electricity before the fuel powered engine kicks in. tesla can fuel in half an hour, compared to 6 hours with the volt. they will test it. >> it's still one step behind tesla, but for a full line manufacturer like gm, that's just fine. >> they have to look at what kinds of things do they do right now, and do they need to do it right now? it's okay for them to say, tesla is take the lead. it's not like tesla is taking all of the sales out there. they're not. >> in other words, gm is willing to succeed the race for speed as well as it wins the popularity contest. aljazeera, detroit. >> john, from the chevy volt plant in detroit. >> up next. >> my career, helping families through this type of thing. i never had to look at my own. >> the story of a freak accident that could lead to a medical break through. >> welcome back to aljazeera america al, these are the headlines. the focus on how to counter the deadly attacks in iraq.

we saved productivity and economic growth bailing out gm the question is, well if gm is building a lotchina to turn its, for example cadillac plant. but those plants in china, not just to get close toward markets there but to turn those hubs, those gm hubs into exporting hubs for gm into that region. he is cars not coming out of the u.s. coming out. gm cars coming out of china. that is a debate too. you will see a lost spin about this out of the government about this by year-end, as treasury slowly unloads its shares. the thing is, yeah, we made money on aig, 23 billion. you know what will else the government's stake in aig making money there, federal reserves money printing. ashley: qe. >> helped float the shares higher. those are the angles to watch as this debate unfolds. we'll stay on top of the story. ashley: all over it as usual. elizabeth macdonald. thanks so much very much. appreciate it. >> sure. cheryl: statistics out on growing numbers of flight delays. ashley: back to planes. cheryl: you're a frequent business traveler you can not afford to miss this story. that is coming u

the fact is gm was a viable company before bankruptcy and during.he probl was their stupid legacy costing them $40 billion in debt. once they expunge the debt through a regular bankruptcy you start anew, fix up the inefficiencies, start anew. this whole thing paid off the unions, took away fr sharolders and bond holders and said, look what we did. they take victory lap over a loss for taxpayers. it's not good. it sets a bad precedent. i've got news r you, the next bailout are the banks and health care. >> let's look forward. there is thought that obama care could be the next one. does that scare you? >> brenda, we already know it's going to be a lot of money. for example, they've had to spend -- how many extra hours patching up the code that they didn't think of? these workers that are doing that, they're not all saying, you kno i get to work an extra 400, 500 hours for free. no. they need overtime, bring in extra contractors, bring in smart silicon valley people. none of these people are doing it for free. the web site isn't working. by all account

the market voted that gm and chrysler and all of those companies couldn't survive.should have been allowed to perish and go away and the rkers could have been a lot happier working for toyota or honda or ford. instead, we get involved in stuff like this. we get involved, my gos in my day in the '70s, we get involved with -- or sia lind ra. we'll be revisiting this show, mark my words, and we'll be talking about how the administration went to congress for whatever, a billion dollars, to bail out obama care. >> sasha, supporters of the bailout say that basically the loss to taxpayers is offset by jobs created or saved. do you agree? >> absolutely. if you look at -- there's never anything good about a loss of $11 billion, little more, 11 fountain 5. there's nothing good about that. but when you look at what was gotten out of that, a million jobs saved. the auto industry and auto related industries are 5% of our gdp. at's something worth saving. and if you put it in perspective, na's 11 billion, the government shutdown that was just 16 days of nonsense and nothing happe

. >> reporter: that's where gm is trying to out tesla, tesla.ny tesla drives the high-end market, the all electric goes for around $71,000. gm is steering for the middle of the line. >> the market is a lot broader than we had originally anticipated so we're trying to come up with some different product offerings to try to cover that broader spectrum. this is general motor's first big bet on the electric automobile industry. this came out in 2010 and has a backup gas-powered engine. they are also taking the all electric spark in korea, and when it makes that kind of a gamble, they are no longer a niche business. but gm is hedging its bets with an alternative line of hybrids. this car can make it 60 kilometers on electricity before the gasoline kicks in. gm will offer fast-charging in the spark later this year. it's still one step behind tesla. but analysts say for a full line manufacturer like gm, that's just fine. >> they have to look at what kinds of things can they do right now? and do they need to do right now? is it okay for them to say it's

gm up nearly 48%. the retailer whose holiday windows are always synonymous with festivities much better than quarterly earnings. macy's in boast etf and revenue. in just one month up 9%, another gain of nearly 10%. with $50, $0.82 per share at the moment. you can see the big spike to the right of your screen. it has been a long haul for macy's which overhauled his entire management structure a couple of years ago and it has worked. macy's not the only retailer rallying today. for others hitting all-time highs, the s&p 500 in record territory. nicole petallides for you and i love to look at these retailers. nicole: absolutely. we know some retailers that have been struggling and others that continue to do well. sometimes they correlate. today we are seeing a lot of the retail names jumping up a long, macy's came out with great profits. nordstrom, limited brands, nike. a dow component as we are saying the s&p 500, some of these retail names help the new record highs today. so we have seen a slew of them,

. >> quickly, our government selling off another $1.2 million of gm stock. are we clear of gm motors? >> no, there's still a stake left for government. but will they get back the $49 billion that was used to bail out gm five years ago. at the moment the treasury saying they expect to be $10 million short when it comes to getting their money back on what the taxpayer paid to bail this business out, ryan, in spite of its latest sale of $1.2 billion worth of shares. >> they could have waited for the stock price to some day go above what they needed but they didn't want to wait any more. >>> of course say they cash is king, but some businesses may be losing out by not accepting credit cards. new research says small businesses may be missing out on as much as $100 billion in additional sales by not accepting plastic. that brings us to twitter. i've been in line, and i'm a little ashamed by it, but when someone's digging around for coins in their purse, it's annoying. if you're out there and you think i'm just impatient and i need to deal with it or do you get ann

guest: no, gm had to have some kind of rescue back in 2008. chasing the executives around capitol hill this period five years ago going from committee to committee trying to get some kind of rescued together. without intervention from someplace, gm and chrysler would have collapsed. and there is an open question how much the auto industry could have been brought down with us, suppliers and even perhaps automakers. today, gm is back toward profitability. it is supposed to have record profits. the detroit three as a whole will make more than $12 billion in profit this year. it is clear that without a government intervention of some kind, that at least chrysler and probably gm would not exist today. host: what about fort? didn't get federal dollars? guest: ford took advantage of low-cost loans through the energy department and took advantage of some of the federal reserve lending that was made available during the worst of the crisis, that was handed out did. street and other banks. not nearly to the same degree gm and chrysler did. it never went

basically paying a million dollars a car, compare that to gm at just $16,000. 35 more times i love gm. it's that simple. liz: craig, i just changed my mind. change it back. >> you know, i think that he's making an interesting point, but he's looking backwards. so tesla's an interesting company. it's a growth company, it's a technology company, and people look at this through the formulas and through the rigor of analysis you'd use in detroit are really looking backwards. tesla has visibility, well, basically, they're a parity on drive train costs, they have visibility on the costs of cutting their drive train in half next handful of years. they're not just going to produce one or two cars, they're going to have the same number of horses in their stable as general motors or ford or possibly, you know, bmw off on the horizon. there's no reason you can't see the really impressive growth and the really significant technology advantage -- liz: dade, you looking backwards? is that true? >> of course we're looking forwards, and that's just as scary. i moon, for exampl

in the meantime, this is a serious issue with toyota, gm, any manufacturer, they would call them on theically draw and quarter them in front of the press, congressional hearings and went tesla, they let it go. so 10 days later there's another car that catches fire. in this case it's something that happened and they hit a wall. but your car is not likely to blow up. this car burned to the ground and there's no safety recall or checking to see what is going on, this is any other manufacturer that you can have a recall for. >> usually what they complain about is a technical service bulletin and then that national traffic highway safety administration says this is a safety issue that we need to investigate and have a recall or the manufacturer has been o proactive and there has been minor little things and you will see for gm and chrsler, saying that we have this and we are going to put this recall and effect and we really want consumers to have confidence in the quality control. but when it comes to tesla, you are buying it as a guinea pig order is still in the blank and a guinea pig and t

gm is up there.on controls, so is -- >> johnson controls announced a buyback of incredible proportions. a new ceo, very motivated to get the stock higher. i believe they will break up the company over time. that happens to be one of the most aggressive buybacks. >> yahoo cannot stop the beast at 36.47. >> there was another research report today. i think they raised their target. you are going back to the value of ali bahba. the increasing value of the stake in yahoo japan. they share a name and nothing else. that is a lot of the story. they sold 1.25 billion in a convertible instead of a billion. they did it very easily. there was great demand for that. so you just got a lot of positive things happening there in terms of the value of the company that has nothing to do with whether or not it will turn itself around. they have to look back at the sale they did initially before she came in. why did we sell that stake. at the time they were being urged to do it. that was a lot of money left on the table.

speaking of a -- >> yeah, you talked about toyota and look at gm. had huge paper in january. 39 calls, and gm hitting on the 52-week highs, and looking like it will go further. >> let's get back to the top story. the impact of taper talk and rising rates on stocks. gemma godfrey is live in london, and joins us now. gemma, nice to see you. >> hello. >> are 3% rates a bull market killer? >> well, 3% is the level that investors are looking at. but where most of the risk has been stored up is in emerging markets, especially the areas that have the highest foreign ownership. because when liquidity is withdrawn, the economies, if they haven't done enough in terms of actually looking domestically to support their markets, they are the most vulnerable. and the term that's being bounded around at the moment from the likes of morgan stanley is the fragile five. so that's indonesia, india, turkey, brazil, and south africa. and we saw from indonesia just today the third rise in rates since august. so we're talking about rising rates, and now there already is a problem of inflation. so i'
