fordmantpw Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Buy low, sell high Honestly, I don't think VW is 'low' yet. I think it will be a while before all of the fallout is known and the stock bottoms out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Being that they will issue more shares if they need cash means the stock probably hasn't hit bottom. Bring on the FCA merger roomers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram/Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Maserati/VW/Audi/Lamborghini/Bugatti/Seat/Skoda/Porche/Bentley/Scania/Ducatti... That sign on the office building will be long enough to pave the autobahn! Another reason that merger would never work is that there would be too many auto platforms and variations of cars that development costs would be sky high until some brands get eliminated. That MQ2 or whatever platform would only go so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much redundancy! Do it! Do it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they? The Piech clan owns just over half of VW, and given the fact that they bought out Qatar holdings to effectively reduce public ownership of VW to well under 40% of the total float (they own over half the company and Lower Saxony owns over 12%), I can't see them being eager to dilute their holdings.

RichardJensen Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 You would think that if any company would be eager to float new shares, it would be FCA, but I think the Agnelli family is similarly worried about diluting their ownership stake.

They need to get some super voting shares so they can dilute the mundane share as much as they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 They need to get some super voting shares so they can dilute the mundane share as much as they want. Have you seen how FCA & VW ownership is structured? It would be an improvement if they could simply get the companies under a single charter! I mean, Porsche owns VW and VW owns Porsche, and then the voting rights and ownership stakes don't match because of the VW law. And that doesn't even get into the realm of crazy that is the Agnelli family holdings. Those two families/companies match their respective political heritages to a T: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
