Biz, U.S.: The near-bankrupt General Motors is generally screwed

  • They failed to convince bondholders to convert their claims to stock. General Motors is a huge company and it’s the kind of company that should just not fail, ever, but unfortunately they may be past the point of no return. The corporation needed to convince 90% of bondholders that their valuable GM bonds could convert to valuable GM stock. Now, running low on options, they will probably run into the June 1 deadline head-first, like a car crashing into a building on purpose. Don’t you love this country? source
