It will not go to $100. It will most likely become worthless as it will be delisted tomorrow and GM, in fact, plans to sell all of its assets to a new company they are calling the "New G.M." The person who previously answered is wrong, to say the least (but, if I weren't intending for this post to be kept up, I would have added a few choice words in response). In virtually ALL bankruptcies the existing stock becomes worthless. Stock is equity - meaning ownership - in the company. The creditors (that is those the Co owes debts to...bondholders, etc...) generally will not get paid all they are owed and will take losses in the bankruptcy. Clearly it is unfair that the owners would get away with not paying it's debts, but those same owners would get to keep anything of value for themselves....before that happens, the BK process should award/allow the creditors to take the stock as payment. Understand, investing in a Corporation you are at risk only up to the amount of your investment...nothing else. If it wasn't a Corporation, but say a group of partners...the debts of the business would be the debts of the partners....and if the business faile, they wouldn't only lose their investment....but have to pay off the business debts personally too.
