That's not as high a premium as GM puts are bringing - $180 for an Jan 2010 2.5 strike!
Certainly that is a high IV just like many other stocks have right now obviously because of fears of the worst possibly scenario happening, whether it be GM, or ALD or whatever.
Honestly, I don't know anything about ALD, but with a yield like that currently based on previous dividends and current stock price, I would have to assume the dividend is at serious risk.
