GMAC Financial Services (GJM) reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $5.0 billion, compared to net income of $7.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2008. The company said that the results for the 2009 fourth quarter were largely affected by losses related to legacy assets in the mortgage operations.
