GM Employee Stock Fund Dumps GM Shares

The General Motors Employee Stock Fund has unloaded all its shares of GM stock in anticipation of bad things to come for GM. The fund is in cash and short-term investments.

I wonder how the employees feel about that. I mean it's probably a wise move but still not a good feeling to have such a lack of faith in the company you work for.

I suspect it was a fiducial responsibility for the company to do that. Knowing what's probably coming, the avg $1.90 they sold the shares for is better than near zero. Feel bad for many of those employees who had most of their retirement savings in GM stock.
