GM Stock Rallies

GM stock is rallying as of 11:21am, July 16, 2008. It is up over 13% for the day. Hopefully it can be sustained.

AHHHH!!!!
C'mon GM! You can do it!!!

Hey Lutz, I bet if you announced the Cruze ready for US production/delivery in 2009, GM stock would jump even more.
Just a suggestion.

Re: GM Stock Rallies

Can't go much lower than it did. I'm surprised Kerkorkian or someone like that hasn't tried a hostile takeover since the stock was so low!

Just because you haven't heard about it, doesn't mean something isn't in the works. Even at $11, GM is still at a very high risk for a takeover.

Re: GM Stock Rallies

Hopefully stock prices will start to rescind after hitting a low of 9 dollars.

Re: GM Stock Rallies

I called my "overly negative" broker today and asked him...

Why?

His answer was pure genous and very simple... He asked me...
If a company splits a stock 2 for one and makes no other news... what do you think the stock price will do?

I answer, It will be cut in half...

Very good he says... glad you were paying attention when you got you MBA...

Next question... Lets say you have a company with a Market Cap of 5.5 Billion and they anounce that they just found 800 Million in cash... Now what is the market cap worth?

About 6.3 Bill, I answer.

Very good he says... Last question... where is GM trading...?
around $11.30 a share with a new market cap of 6.4 Billion....
A-ha... the light goes on...

His POV almost all of the rally to 11.30/11.40 can be directly attributed to the cash generated from the elimination of the dividend.

He still wants me to sell...
I hate to say it but I'm going to dump half.

That makes no sense. They didn't "find" $800mil in cash, they just aren't paying it out. If I don't buy groceries this weekend, that doesn't mean I just found (i.e. increased my worth) $100. It has nothing to do with the share price or the number of outstanding shares (i.e. the market cap).

Re: GM Stock Rallies

temporary. the Red Ink will soon be flowing again along with further debt downgrade. also, July's results will be a disaster. sticking with forecast of $5 by mid-August. remember the banks always support Wags when he cuts deep. it won't last.

That makes no sense to me, unless you bought at like 12 or something. You might as well just ride it out instead of throwing your money away. At this point the only reason to sell is if you think GM is going to die.

Guess you haven't read his posts. It will make no sense to anyone but him really... 2010 will be a time to sell, definitely not now.

I have faith that this most recent round of firing people who are not responsible for this mess will be the glue that sticks. You know the saying: eighteenth [sic] time's the charm!
