If you grabbed Ford a couple of weeks ago when it was $1, and kept it till now, you would've banked a nice chunk. Personally I don't think the bailout will help out much, GM will burn through that cash with the quickness. IMO, their only chance is to reorg through bankruptcy, and if possible shed union workers completely. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc all seem to have fine operations in their US plants and they don't use unions.
