FOW- Yes, I am smarter NOW!

I lost my total investment in GM when it dissolved all it's stock holders and started begging. I did not lose a fortune, only about 250 shares. My family has always held some GM stock because some of them are from Detroit and worked in the auto industry. Honestly, I would like to again purchase some GM stock, but I was burned once already so I'll do what I can to not be burned again. That is my entire motivation for this post. I have been following this pretty closely, including going to GM dealers and talking to salesmen in a very casual but inquisitive manner. My only tiny regret is that to do this I pose as an excited potential car buyer, who has not done this to wile away a sunny afternoon? It is amazing what you can learn from folks closer to the "know" than you or I. Here is some of the latest, you make up your own mind, hell, you're smartter than the average bear (Yogi Bear, remember?). I read a recent article in The(Columbian) front page Business section lower right about GM. The article stated, "GM Challenges Estimate Of Hugh Loss On Volt" allow me to paraphrase the short article. Reuters estimated that GM is losing as much as $49,000 0n every VOLT, and GM says that they are wrong. GM has acknowledged it's losing money on the VOLT, but won't say how much, WHICH OF COURSE LEADS TO THE SPECULATION THAT THEY ARE UPSET ABOUT, brains?????
Couple this with the blazing glory of the GM bailout pontificated about at the recent DNC gathering and the conclusion is, someone is in the liar camp. This is not the rocket science class, so you settle this with yourself, I have. http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiswoodhill/2012/08/15/general-motors-is-headed-for-bankruptcy-again/
