GM Shares Hit 74-Year Low
NEW YORK — General Motors Corp. shares on Friday tumbled to their lowest level in more than 70 years, pulled down by a drop in the broader markets and continued speculation about the future of the struggling automaker.
GM shares hit a low of $1.52 in early afternoon trading, before rebounding somewhat to close down 23 cents, or 11.5 percent, at $1.77. The low matched a record set on July 26, 1934, according to the Center for Research in Security Prices at the University of Chicago.
The price is adjusted for splits and other changes.
Baltimore!
I'm doing a repeat of last night. Veering wildly between, oooh and no fucking way. [link]
I registered through a realtor I liked's site for daily listing updates, and whoa I already have an email from here wondering if I'd like to sit and talk with her next week and when might I be able to do that. I
knew
she was very tech savvy, but now I want to hide from my email. So, um, when do I have time next week? Ulp.
eta: and yes, sorry guys, y'all are going to be getting a virtual play by play, I suspect. I need handholding and since neither my mother nor msbelle are in my apartment for this...
So I went here [link] to vote on the name for the new node in the ISS. 'Serenity' is
way
ahead, with 83% of the vote. The other options are all at 5% or 6%.
Yay!
You should absolutely sit with a Realtor, Sara. Can you line up a buyer's agent? They should help with handholding and advice.

I think in MD, you need a buyer's agent. Or at least a legal rep of some sort. It's been a while since I took a homebuying class, but even if not, I totally wouldn't do this without professional.
This agent is a fast-talking Texan. I just thought I should share that.
good time.
and yeah sara I saw that listing the other night and opted not to send it to you.
oh no, sylvester has something wrong. must go to the vet tomorrow morning.
El Paso? Hrm. I guess based on average wages versus real estate costs. I always called it the concrete armpit of Texas. Neat geography, ruined by crazy building and lack of planning.
