Gm has what... 300 billion in debt
The bondholders should immediately call their friends in congress to ensure that upon GM's default, they will receive their full $300 billion before equity owners and accounts payable see a damned cent.
A dividend cut is also only delaying the inevitable. The PBGC should step in and ensure GM has the necessary assets to cover its pension liabilities. This non-sense of PBGC running a defict is criminal.
I wonder if the stock will still trade above $20 knowing that it will be at zero in two years tops.
Don't even get me started on GM's income tax refunds (corporate welfare) under the IRS' tax-loss carryover. The government should never subsidize a company which loses money.
