GM Shares; To buy or not to buy

[Enki]

So I'm sitting behind my computer (I never understood that quote. You're actually facing the front of your computer and not the rear...odd :blink: ) and I'm wondering, should I or shouldn't I buy GM stocks.

The stock has shot up 37.5% on Friday on news of its emergance from Bankruptcy protection.

I feel like jumping in, but I'm not sure how the market will fare. Will this "New GM" suceed or ultimatly fail once again?

I check out the Ford commercials and the advertising of "employee pricing" and receiving $100.00 if you test drive its car but purchase a competitor's car instead sparks interest.  The marketing scheme is pretty persuasive but consumer's confidence in the product itself is pretty weak.  Although GM has a bad imagine at the moment, the cars are affordable and there will be consumers who based on their financial status will choose GM products as their option.  I guess the restructuring can bring some hope to the company.  If anything, purchase an amount of shares which you don't mind losing.
