Any disappointment of news,well the common stocks will be quarantined and relisted in the OTC market.Over-the -Counter.So this time will no more be quoted as (NYSE:GM) but (GM.PK).ie pink sheet.
So GM will join the gang of its peers like Lehman Bros,Washington Mutual,Worldcom,Enron and Delphi Corporation to name a few.The trading price range will be between 0.01 cents to 0.25 cents only.
Taking over GM's position in the Dow Component Index might be Citigroup so that's why the Dow won't be repeating the old ardage of Sell in May and go away.It's going to reach the 52 weeks MAV and than transform into a bull-rally.
