GMAC loses $1.3 Billion in Q4 2008

Now that’s GMAC, not GM itself.  GMAC, of course, is partially owned by GM and Cerberus ( who also owns the majority stake in Chrysler – confused yet? )

Though losing $1.3 Billion is significant in and of itself, perhaps even more significant is the drop-off in business.  Q4 2007 saw GMAC write $13.4 billion in new loans, while Q4 2008 saw just $2.7 billion.  I don’t know of any business that can turn a profit when their business drops off by such a stunning amount.
