Not quite true-trading was stopped on GM because it spent a month at about $0.75 a share-then the government took over.

"New" GM should do an IPO sometime in the next quarter, and I'll buy some, 'cause there's money to be made-the Treasury is going to unload about 20 million shares as well, relinquishing government controlling interest (though not all government owned stock).....
