Want a sign that the world is turned on its head? Go to our ‘companies’ page and type in General Motors Corp’s ticker symbol GM. You won’t get General Motors, since the company is in bankruptcy and was delisted form the New York Stock Exchange. You’ll get Canada’s Geo Minerals Ltd. I called investor relations and the mining and exploration company is not in bankruptcy and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But GEO, which mines copper, nickel, silver and coal, among other things, did lose money and burn cash in its most recent quarter.
Is General Motors stock still trading or can investors get in on the "NEW" general motors stock? I'm confused. I don't want to invest in GM and then the stock be worthless because the bankruptcy wasn't finished. Please advise.
David Welch here to answer this one. Stock in General Motors will not be available until it is made public again, which will be six to 18 months after the bankruptcy is complete.
What happened to our stock that was in GMGMQ ? will we still be able to get our money back?
