GM Helped Bain Capital Profit By Giving Funding To Struggling Parts Supplier Owned By Investment Firm

In 2000, a financially struggling plastics company that supplied car parts received emergency funding from auto manufacturers General Motors and Ford Co. The plastics company was owned by Bain Capital, the firm co-founded by Mitt Romney.

In other words, Romney, who has written against auto industry bailouts, profited via his involvement in Bain from a GM rescue of a car components supplier. Romney has recently come under fire from GM and Chrysler for airing dubious TV and radio spots suggesting the carmakers were shipping jobs to China.

Bain's management of Cambridge Industries was chronicled in a June story in The New York Times, which noted that Bain reaped over $10 million from the plastic manufacturer even as it went through bankruptcy, wiping out some of the other investors. According to a 2008 Detroit Free Press story, which is only available for purchase, Cambridge's bankruptcy meant more than 1,000 workers lost their jobs.

The full saga of Cambridge includes a political twist that The Times omitted: GM's decision to provide funding to its supplier as Bain managers let the company swing. According articles in the Detroit Free Press and Plastics News from 2000 accessed via Lexis Nexis, both GM and Ford gave unspecified financial aid to Cambridge. As GM and Ford supplied capital, Bain was extracting $950,000 a year in "advisory fees" from the ailing plastics company, according to The Times.

Romney claimed that he was on a paid leave from Bain in 2000 while he was running the Salt Lake City Olympics, but multiple government and company documents suggest otherwise. He held and continues to hold a financial stake in the firm.

Cambridge's cash infusion "is an indication that [GM] didn't feel like they had any good near-term switching opportunities" for the company to use other suppliers, Daniel Luria, an economist at the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, told HuffPost.

The relationship between parts suppliers and auto manufacturers is a close one, and GM exercises significant quality control oversight over the companies that provide it with windshield wiper arms, headlight covers, dashboards and dozens of other car components. Many working in the American auto industry are employed not specifically by GM, Ford and Chrysler, but by dozens of specialty suppliers that work with the carmakers.

"The biggest economic impact that bailing out GM and Chrysler had was in keeping the supply base from imploding," Luria said.

When a supplier shuts down suddenly, car companies can experience difficulty finding other firms to manufacture their parts, which can spark costly delays in production. Without the proper parts, GM can't get cars off the assembly line.

"Increasingly, automakers don't have multiple sources for particular parts," said Luria. "Having multiple suppliers so you could lean on them on price wasn't worth the price of duplicating the investment."

The tight relationship between suppliers and auto factories could be felt in Janesville, Wis., the hometown of Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). When the town's GM planted shuttered in the beginning of the recession, Eric Levitt, Janesville's city manager, said that he recalled several suppliers closing down as well.

John Beckord, president of Forward Janesville, a local business booster group, said the supply closures were typical. "Auto assembly plants will often have supply companies in close proximity, or some cases literally next door," he explained.

Beckord said the GM closure in Janesville had a "cascading effect."

"There were two very significant suppliers that also closed with the plant," Beckord said. One supplied seats for SUVs and another managed parts that came in from around the world, he said.

The 2000 Detroit Free Press articles do not specify how much funding the car companies offered to Cambridge in order to keep their supplier afloat. That same year, Cambridge was sold to Meridian Automotive Systems, Inc.

The Romney campaign declined to comment for this article.

Inspirational Quote About Loneliness - Self Help Daily

?So do not be lonely. You are just alone. It is like saying you are old. I am not old; I?m just older. -? Anna

I pull my quotes of the day from a great number of places. 8 times out of 10 they?re quotes I?ve recently read, thought about, or recently ?called on? for inspiration or motivation.? Today?s quote of the day is a rare bird: It?s taken from a comment left here on Self Help Daily.

The comment was left on a post about Overcoming Loneliness, but that?s not even remotely important compared to the comment, itself ? or more importantly the author of the comment.? Anna has been a widow for a year.? When I read that ? at the first of her comment ? my heart sank.? I thought, ?Bless her heart?? (we Kentuckians are always blessing someone?s heart).? Then after I read a little more, I realized, this is one very special lady and simply refuses to hand over her joy to life?s circumstances.

Her words, her demeanor, her grace, and her spirit touched me and I wanted to pass it along.

To read her entire comment, go to the post, scroll down to the comments, and look for Anna.? You?re going to love her.

Medivation, Astellas Prostate Cancer Drug Soars In First Weeks On ...

MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Medivation?s (NASDAQ:MDVN) newly approved prostate cancer drug passed a very early test as initial sales and a bullish forecast for the treatment Xtandi appear to validate expectations that it will become a blockbuster product.

In the drug?s first 12 days of sales, the drug, Xtandi, generated revenue of $14 million. What?s more, Medivation?s sales partner Astellas Pharma predicted the treatment will produce sales of $100 million by the end of March 2013.

If the forecast holds up, those numbers would mean the drug will at least meet bullish Wall Street consensus estimates of $225 million in Xtandi?s first full year of sales, Jefferies analyst Biren Amin says. Amin notes that the consensus numbers are skewed by estimates that show Xtandi well exceeding $300 million in first-year revenue. While Amin doesn?t think the drug will reach those high-end estimates, the figures laid out by Astellas Thursday should give investors some comfort.

?Xtandi is well on track to at least meeting consensus estimates,? Amin says. The early ?results should assuage concerns around Xtandi?s launch.?

Shares of Medivation rose 3% to $52.51 in late-morning trading Thursday. The stock is up more than 500% over the past year. Astellas of Japan is traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

For drug and biotech investors, the early stages of a product launch can be a real white-knuckle ride. It can?t be stated enough times that these are very early figures for Xtandi, but there are sky high hopes for Medivation?s treatment and any bad news is going to send the shares down.

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved Johnson & Johnson?s (NYSE:JNJ) Zytiga for treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer. That drug proved to be a fast-selling product. Zytiga sales were almost $700 million through the first nine months of this year. On the other hand, Dendreon?s (NASDAQ:DNDN) prostate cancer treatment, the vaccine Provenge, has disappointed since being approved by the FDA in 2010. (Dendreon reports its quarterly results Friday.)
