“Oh well, you know one is in the charitable trust, Ford is. But this GM buyback of Mary Barra’s has really worked, and I think the stock’s going higher. […] Right now, stick with GM. I’m not going to urge you to sell. […] I can’t say swap one for the other right now. You got the one with the buyback that’s what matters.”

Cramer was right not to panic as GM rose a modest 9.91% afterward. General Motors Company is investing heavily in electric vehicle innovation, relaunching the Chevy Bolt with lower-cost lithium iron phosphate batteries to broaden market reach.
