NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- General Motors Corp.'s (GM) stock fell 15% Thursday after a Wall Street bank warned the automaker could stumble into bankruptcy, and oil prices hit a record high.
Merrill Lynch warned Wednesday morning GM is burning through cash faster than investors realize and may even face bankruptcy if the auto market worsens and it can't raise enough capital. Merrill downgraded GM shares to underperform from buy.
