24	member 5/09/05 8:52PM Convert Overhang
You are right the convert creates an overhang. But given 3 facts I don't believe this is a serious concern. (1) Some banks that do not intend to be participants in Fiat's shareholder... login to read the rest view available tags

I see the answer to my own question in a previous question (who owns the Convert)...but fears about an overhang effect linger. Well foudned fears? Thanks again. view available tags
22	member 5/09/05 3:52PM Convert?
Mitch- Who holds the Convert? Is it possible the possibility of conversion of such a large issue acts as a "lid" on the shares until after October. Great write-up. Thank you. view available tags

Thanks for your question. I would focus on Q1 and Q2 in terms of near-term signals for progress in Chapter 1 of the turnaround (cost cutting). In terms of what to look for... login to read the rest view available tags

Mitch, Thanks for the response. That is impressive that the Italian banks are going to have to eat the convertendos at 10 euros. I was initially puzzled why anyone would want to convert @ 10 if... login to read the rest view available tags

1) How sensitive is your analysis to economic activity? Well, the company has not assumed any help from the economy in its forecasts, but the current Italian economy is worse than they had... login to read the rest view available tags

You are absolutely right -- the investment is predicated on his management, and the simple answer is, I would not recommend Fiat without him there. If he were to leave at a stage further... login to read the rest view available tags

Thanks for your quick response to my previous questions. I was just wondering, it seems that a big part of your thesis is hinged on Mr. Marchionne's skills. If he were (god forbid) to be... login to read the rest view available tags

2	member 5/02/05 1:38PM Question on product launches
Great idea, really contrarian. Could you please ellaborate on Fiat Auto's product launches. You mention that by the beginning of 2006, over 80% of Fiat's volumes will be turned over. That is taking into account view available tags
