Comment by Merge By on July 9, 2009 at 8:08pm: The NYSE suspended trading in GM securities on June 2, 2009. Since GM's common stock is not traded on the NYSE, market makers not affiliated with GM may initiate limited trading in one of the over-the-counter markets, such as the Pink Sheets. GM management has noticed the continuing high trading volume in GM's common stock at prices in excess of $1 on the Pink Sheets. GM management continues to remind investors of its strong belief that there will be no value for the common stockholders in the bankruptcy liquidation process, even under the most optimistic of scenarios. Stockholders of a company in chapter 11 generally receive value only if all claims of the company's secured and unsecured creditors are fully satisfied. In this case, GM management strongly believes all such claims will not be fully satisfied, leading to its conclusion that GM common stock will have no value.

Comment by Merge By on May 17, 2009 at 9:07pm: Stocks staged their worst weekly decline since March 6. The Dow was down 306 points, or 3.6 percent to 8268, and the S&P 500 fell 46 points, nearly 5 percent, to 882. The Nasdaq had its first down week in 10, losing 3.4 percent to 1680.

The dollar, meanwhile firmed at the end of the week, and Treasurys saw a gain for the week, as the Fed continued its bond purchases. The 10-year's yield, at 3.125 percent, was below the week-earlier high yield of just under 3.30 percent.
