NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Wall Street investment banks are planning to launch an offering of up to $10 billion in loans for Chrysler LLC's automotive business on Wednesday, according to a report published in the Wall Street Journal.

At that time, the underwriters, which included J.P. Morgan Chase & Co (Charts, Fortune 500)., Citigroup Inc., (Charts, Fortune 500) Goldman Sachs Group Inc (Charts, Fortune 500)., Morgan Stanley (Charts, Fortune 500) and Bear Stearns & Co., (Charts, Fortune 500) were faced with weak investor demand for the loans and decided to postpone that sale, taking $10 billion of the loans onto their own books. Top of page
