I always thought about buying stock, but never have. . . Don't even know where to start.
Wish I would have bought stock in. 1. Gold in the '90 2. Ford 2-3 years ago.

Quite possibly. Still kicking myself for not buying shares in Ford last year.

When they offer it, I'm in. I'm not sure how much, though......really it depends on the value when they open.

IPO mid August to September I heard. Want to get it done before the elections. Too soon I would think, but politics is driving this one.

I'd love to, however Class C employees of publicly traded companies and their families are not allowed to participate in an IPO :(

Yes. I have faith in the direction that GM is headed right now. I bought stock in Ford when the market was low back in jan of last year.

80% of people lose in the futures market. That's how the other 20% make so much more. There also aren't shares of GM in the futures market.

To make some money off the stock would be a pretty good reason. Another would be to remove GM from the 'Government Motor' stigma. This may be a bit of a surprise to you, but some people believe that government ownership = government operation. And many of those who believe that, also doubt the ability of governments to operate things competently and efficiently. Besides, right now even though you are technically a partial owner of GM, you personally are not affected by the ownership. You won't get any dividends on the stock thats collectively owned, you don't get any shareholder votes, none of that stuff typically associated with owning stock in a company.
