Investors in the old General Motors stock will need to pay attention to yet another new ticker symbol. If you want to unload GM stock, you need to know that the stock is now Motors Liquidation Co. common stock. The security will resume trading today under the symbol MTLQQ. Last Friday, the Financial Regulatory Authority, known as FINRA, halted over-the-counter trading of GM stock. When trading resumes, the former common stock symbol, GMGMQ, will be deleted, FINRA said, and should be used only for the limited purpose of reporting as-of reports, corrections or cancellations of trades effected on or prior to July 10.
