<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oodinero, post: 893513, member: 21400&quot;]No, the only reason the gm papers were trading for so high was b/c it&#039;s now a collector&#039;s item as the company went bankrupt and so those papers are now worthless. thus, people are banking that those gm papers will be worth something for collectors. it also helps that companies don&#039;t issue paper shares anymore as everything is done on book entry basis. so, the amount of actual paper shares in the market must be pretty low. i believe the only way to get the papers is to actually ask for paper receipt when you purchase a stock - but i don&#039;t think many brokerages allow this as an option anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>when gm reemerges from bankruptcy, new shares will be issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
