Yeah, probably not Fen. Maybe someday though. I'd be happy to get my money back on the 100 shares I bought.

All that stock is worthless. When GM issued the NEW shares, the old stock went buhhhhh bye.

As a sad note, though, I heard a 3rd hand tale of a guy that was trying to figure out how to tell his wife he had taken his 401k and gon ALL IN at $7.50 a share KNOWING it couldn't POSSIBLY go lower. He was sadly.............wrong. Hung all the way down to the $2 range which is about where it was when it went kaput. I think the "old GM" stock hovered around 80 cents a share for a bit during the bankruptcy. But none of those share have anything to do with the current shares.

I could not afford to support GM on all the special builds they do. They understand that. That is why I was so surprised and pleased they gave Pedders credit in press releases, on the wheel stands and in brochures.

The House does not require such politeness and decorum.
