Soros makes more money as Wall Street battered by automaker, bank worries

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks slid on Monday as the Obama administration raised the possibility of takeover and bankruptcy for two major U.S. automakers, and European bank rescues sent financial shares lower.

In the latest efforts in its aggressive campaign to shore up the economy and struggling corporations, the administration forced out General Motors Corp’s CEO, pushed Chrysler LLC toward a merger and threatened bankruptcy for both. GM shares tumbled 20.4 percent to $2.88.

Spain, Germany and Britain acted to bolster lenders as the sector felt the impact of rising bad loans, while Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said over the weekend some banks still need large amounts of help.
