Think about it, you can , for $100 (at a $0.01 price point) lay ownership to about .002% of GM.

Regardless of whatever happens to the company (and your $100 "investment") that would make an awesome story to tell your kids .  Very few people could ever have claimed to own that kind of stake LOL.   For around $100k you could own 2%


But really, the current market cap is about what, $1.5 B?   I'm surprised someone isn't buying them up just to sell off the assets

Why would the gubmint loan billions of dollars to GM when they could just buy the entire company for $2B?

good ?  let the gubmint run it and lose $20B a year but potentially get the profit if it's ever turned around.
