Trading the GM Bankruptcy

Great call on the senior notes....... nice day yesterday!!!

Any news on GRM specifically? My portfolio tracker shows this @ $0 this AM and all the other issues are still @ yesterday's close price. Just curious if GRM had any specific risks over and above the other issues.
