    Public stake isn't for profits (especially not short term capital gains), it's about concentration & not getting controlled.

    You didn't read the article, or you didn't understand it.

    The US Govt would not pay a cent for the shares of these companies.

    It would simply seize them, half-nationalize them.

    Its a half nationalization, not a half bailout.
