Some dealerships in Texas are going to offer 50 shares of GM stock to their first 100 customers. The business operated by two brothers has purchased 5000 shares at the end of last week and they will use them to celebrate GM’s 100-year anniversary by distributing them to lucky buyers. As GM stock is somewhere around $6-$7 right now, it means that each new customer will get about $300-$350 to play with.

The idea is pretty ingenious but feel free to LOL and ROFL all you want. It’s funny too!

It looks like General Motors isn’t happy with their current stock price. GM’s stock closed at $9.45 on September 30 which is 78% lower than their $43.20 high price. Despite obvious financial difficulties for GM, its employees have purchased all the available employee stock. The employee stock is limited by the company’s 401(k) programs.

For now all stock purchases through the company are stopped for any employees. GM has to register more stock with the SEC in order to obtain more shares for its 401(k) program. That’s going to happen on November 9. Until then, you’ll have to purchase stock like everyone else who isn’t working for GM does.
