On one hand…

"General Motors said its latest incentives on 2008 models will be extended because the promotion worked so well driving traffic in the final days of June. GM will extend 0 percent financing for 72 months through the July 4 weekend."

On the other…

"General Motors shares closed at $9.98, their lowest close in more than 50 years after a Merrill Lynch analyst said bankruptcy is "not impossible" for the world’s largest automaker if the U.S. auto market continues to slump."

Is there a connection? You tell me.
