Now 10 years later, the stock has NEVER broken what it opened at. Never.
Look at GM's books, and look at their balance sheet and use your HEAD. If the numbers look good, your chances of making money on the stock are good, if the numbers don't look good, you're likely throwing money away. Just a word of caution.
And before I'm called a hater, I want to say I hope everyone who invests in GM makes money. I'm (and SC2150) just throwing out a few facts any intelligent, educated investor should look at.

When is there ever a guarantee that any particular stock will be worth more in 10 years than it is now? Buying stock is always a gamble, the odds are better than at the roulette wheel, but its never a sure thing. If you want a safe investment, there are plenty of other options.
