Remember everyone, Fiat still hasn't come to terms with VEBA over the valuation of it's stake, that could take some time as it's going through the courts, if I'm not mistaken.
As far as public trading goes, Fiat shares are sold on the open market, so once Fiat acquires complete control of Chrysler, it too will be part of Fiat Spa., which means it's shares will be part of that, not separated out, unless they go the route of Ferrari, keeping it as a distinct enterprise.
BTW, I really don't think Fiat will go the way of Daimler once it fully acquires Chrysler, it's already been shown that Chrysler Group will be an equally strong or stronger partner in THIS merger. I also read today that the Banks want to see a stronger balance sheet and less debt in both entities before they step up to the plate again, so it may be a while before much of anything happens.
Keep Calm and Carry On!

A lot of the workers share your concern. We have already been down this road before. Twice. Remember Chrysler is the one who had to put up the $550 mil to build Fiats in Mexico and now they are going to pull them out in another couple years.
Chrysler also reports those sales on ITS books, not Fiat's, so they have already benefited. They still build the Journey/Freemont there as well.
