         I don't think i'm the right one to be asking on GM, but I would "assume" no if I had to guess. I don't believe our government is capable of running part of the auto industry much less anything else.

            Sorry this is some more of my dry humor, GM would be the last firm I would invest in.

      yeah you probably did but it seems that nowadays every thing starts a political debate so who cares, if i had 5,000 dollars i would open a strip club, you can never go wrong with hot chicks, and they bring in alot of money.

   I have to seriously think about it, because I'll soon have more than that to invest, .
   
   Maybe more land or real estate.  Maybe Forex.  I do own small shares of Google and PZZA! lol...yeah, Papa John's Pizza.  It was supposed to be a great bargain a while back... It IS the only stock that continues to grow.  At least when I checked my account last.

         Oh...not really.  But I DO recommend land (very easy).  Or see Iphigenia's hub on Forex.  She evidently turned $2,000 into $25,000.

      Lol that wasn't the kind of investment I was talking about, however, still a wise investment if your car is about to break down. If you bought it for $4,500, you still have $500 to invest, what is the plan?

         And why not. Most people need a car and its better than the one I currently have and cheeper on gas. I drive 30 miles a day to work and its a 4 cylinder appose to me having a 6 cylinder now, and it has less miles so I think its a good investment. So ha..

   It wouldn't take the whole $5,000, so I'll have to think about the rest....but I *know* if I had that much extra $ right now, I'd get lasik eye surgery. I'd love to be able to see this computer screen (and the tv, and the alarm clock when I wake up in the morning, and people's faces when I'm swimming, etc.,) without wearing glasses/contacts.
   
   that's the kind of "investment" I'm interested in these days - quality of life that I can count on. Growing money? I've never been able to figure that one out.

    Option 1: My brother and his girlfriend have a business idea so probably that if they produce a sound business plan.
    
    Option 2: Down payment on a very cheap house and then rent it out.
    
    Option 3: Lobby Congress to give me more money. I could get the lonely hubber bailout.
