When the government was buying GM I put my money in Ford at the same time for $1.76 a share. It sold on an auto sell order during a particularly volatile day at around $12 a share.
I bought ford in 2008 for right around a buck.. I still have the shares. I sure wish I had the big $$ to buy that day. 12 to 1 return on your money is nothing to laugh at.
nice return
