9. LOL - lot of 'insider insight' on this call
I'd be concerned about the mental capacity of any exec that was still holding stock.

10. No doubt to pay back the taxpayers who gave them the "loan".
On the other hand, they may be cashing in and taking the profits and telling the taxpayers "tough shit".

11. GM shares are going to be worthless regardless of the outcome
Bankruptcy = Shares will be worthless

Agreement with the creditors = Shares will be worth about 2 cents

Conclusion: GM is fucked.

This is a watershed event.
