SAAB, will it go during the after-christmas sale?



Todays statement gave a few more drugs to an already pumped up question. No doubt about it, SAAB is one hell of a company considered being a black and endless hole for leaking money. General Motors has recieved expressions of interests, just hope it's not from the Swedish government. So who could this prospective buyer be? Since the critics from the opposition over the actions from the Swedish government has attacked us during the last couple of weeks we can only suppose that the one behind this expression is no other than Mona Sahlin, Lars Ohly and the pathetic ones from the Environmental Party (Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of an environmental party in politics, but the leaders are worse than a Snickers bar to a nut-allergic). Maybe they have formed a syndicate using the same wallet that provided Göran Persson with the estate Torp.

Let's hope that this long-shot turns out to be a bulls-eye, because I would love to see those socialists trying to make a profitable company out of SAAB. They have been able to do the reverse with a couple of other companies so they know that routine.

All jokes aside, I personally think that todays decision was great for everyone working at SAAB, let's hope that they will at least "keep the boat floating" for the rest of the year. Although the development in this issue will probably be that a chinese company will buy the assets and try to move it to China. The good side of this coin is that people will be able to keep their jobs for maybe a few years longer, but in the long-term it looks more like the swedish automobile industry seems to follow the shipyard industry.
