GM shares sunk to an all time low this Monday after a Wall Street firm predicted that the company’s stock value could plunge to zero within the next year. On top of their $21-billion loss announced last Friday, GM’s shares are currently trading around the $3.36 mark – the lowest they’ve been since June 17 1949. Rod Lache, an analyst at Deutsche Bank is quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying, “”Even if GM succeeds in averting a bankruptcy, we believe that the company’s future path is likely to be bankruptcy-like.” GM is currently appealing to Washington for financial aid. Congress has reportedly already approved a $25-billion loan to help produce more fuel-efficient products, but the Detroit-based auto manufacturers are now asking for double that.
