Question for you Stock Gurus

[ptiz]

Good morning fellow Fastlaners,

I'm looking to raise a little capital for my business venture (which you can see in one of my other threads) and I was thinking of putting some money in the stock market. Normally, I wouldn't do that as it seems too risky, but I have been looking at GM and I want to hear input from someone with a more through understanding of how it works prior to me plunking down some money on the stock.

This is where I am confused. GM's stock price is listed at $0.75 right now. They are not publicly traded right now so is that the price it was at when they got pulled out of the market?

I know that GM is going to be filing for their IPO soon, and if the stock is really at $0.75 I want to get in QUICK. Can I even buy their stock? How does this work? :huh2:

My math is this, buy 4000 shares of GM stock for $3000, and watch as the price goes back up, I can't imagine it going much lower than where it is now, and Ford has doubled in the last year from 6.61 to 12.25.

What do you think? Am I missing anything? How do I go about it?
