the reason they cant last past this month is because of the legal requirements to pay union contracts and pensions I believe + of course opertion cost.

Everything seems to be on the way to working out but the cost will be most to the invester, especially if the government owns a piece of GM. The cost will be that anyone who owns GM stock will be diluted to... lets say for example 1/10 the value (maybe not as bad or maybe worse).

... but GM will stay above water so to speak.

I'd like to help out GM by purchasing a Camaro right now but I must graduate first, until then I hope GM can hold on.
Ah, OK, I missed them talking about that part. Well, if that happened, I would imagine the camaro (and everything else) way be put off for a while while everything goes through renegotiations. I hope somebody comes to a conclusion soon
