May 23 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp., facing rising cash needs before a June 1 bankruptcy deadline, tapped $4 billion more in U.S. aid to push its total to $19.4 billion.

GM’s latest loan from the Treasury exceeded a forecast of $2.6 billion, according to a regulatory filing yesterday by the largest U.S. automaker. Detroit-based GM said it needed $1.4 billion more in cash this month than it expected.

san mei mei...

there is a thread that i started on trading options... please refer to that for an overview.. or click on the hyperlink shown in my signature (bottom left)

but really, i would not advice that you trade options until you have studied for at least 1 year in theory...practiced 6 months on paper.. i have seen the casualty statistics on options trading...some claim that 90% of all options traders lose money... i am in that 90% :mrgreen:

K - You are too modest lah.. :D

Anyway, here's a piece of news on GM.

GM bondholders reject offer
Source says few GM bondholders were interested in a proposal to swap debt for stock - virtually guaranteeing a bankruptcy filing in the next few days.
