    Well, it appears all is well with GM as they have seen their first quarterly profit since 2007;

    BBC News - General Motors sees first quarterly profit since 2007


    Ok so a profit of $865m (£600m) is not bad compared to the loss of $6bn for the same period last year, but still a drop in the bucket of their total debt of $45bn. Still, they're going in the right direction.

    1 in a row! A recent record! Not much for R&D or debt service but probably enough for bonuses.
