GM to lose prestigious spot on Dow

Al l', New York
General Motors' fall from grace is not yet complete. The firm's expected bank ruptcy would spell its eviction from the Dow Iones coveted list of 30 top US companies, of which GM has been a pillar since 1925.
Even if GM's court filing has not yet been inked, speculation is rife about which firm might take its place on die Dow Jones Industrial Average, as the former behemoth's share price tumbled 47 percent last week.
GM's shares fell to 75 cents each on Friday, well below the one dollar minimum for listing on the New York-based exchange.
It is a confluence of factors that means GM will suffer the same fate as A1G. In September, the insurance giant was removed from the Dow Jones index two days after its nationalization, replaced by Kraft Foods.
"Once a company files for bankruptcy protection it is disqualified from being one of the 30 Dow components," said Dow spokesperson Sybille Reitz.
"We are aware of GM's situation and are taking steps accordingly. We have been following the situation closely."
There is great competition to replace GM on the venerable list, which has served as a bellwether for US business since it was launched in 1896.
One solution could be to replace GM with its rival Ford -- which has so far managed to escape the crisis without government aid.
But Ford's share price is far from stellar, trading at around 5.75 dollars. According to John Ogg of
247wallst.com, that makes the firm •■ which had previously been a member of the elite club--an unlikely Inductee.
One of the more frequently cited names is that of Wall Street darling Goldman Sachs.
The Investment giant should be one of the first to pay back government loans, thanks to a share price of more than 144 dollars.
Nicholas Colas, head of investment strategy at die BNY ConvergEx Group, said that makes Goldman Sachs a favorite.
It may also have been helped by AlG's departure.
During the AIG shakeout in September the Dow Jones group noted that the exit of one financial firm meant that that economically vital sector was under-represented.
