Old GM Trading Catches SEC's Eye | Transportation | Financial Articles & Investing News | TheStreet.com

Old GM Trading Catches SEC's Eye | Transportation | Financial Articles & Investing News | TheStreet.com: "Motors Liquidation is the new name for the former General Motors, the one that became a repository for the assets and liabilities that remain to be liquidated in bankruptcy court. It has no relationship with new GM, which emerged from bankruptcy on July 10.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the SEC and GM have issued warnings about the worthless shares, but some traders continue to buy and sell them.

Now 'Finra and the SEC are trying to hunt down the people who are fluffing the company,' said a source, involved in penny stock trading, who asked that his name not be used.

An SEC spokesman declined to comment. Finra has said it is reviewing the trades.

'Bearing in mind that we only have regulatory jurisdiction over securities firms and the individuals associated with them, we would definitely look at the trading associated with these shares, as with any instance where there is unusually high volume or unusual activity in a stock, and especially one with circumstances like these,' said spokeswoman Nancy Condon. 'We'll be looking at who was buying, who was selling and what the rationale was.'"

TORONTO (DOW JONES)--QLT Inc.'s (QLTI) shares are up nearly 60% so far this month, a move the company's top executive says isn't surprising given how low the stock sank.

"I think we're moving towards a more reasonable valuation," said QLT Chief Executive Bob Butchofsky in an interview with Dow Jones. He added that QLT was recently trading below cash value, but has recovered along with other stocks in the ophthalmology sector.

On Nasdaq Monday, QLT is up 37 cents, or 12%, to $3.38 on 187,000 shares. The stock traded as low as $1.40 in March, and is at its highest level since September.
QLT Inc. (QLT), is a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in the business of discovering, developing and commercialization of therapies. QLT has two commercial products, Visudyne and Eligard. Visudyne utilizes photodynamic therapy (PDT), to treat the eye disease known as wet age related macular degeneration (wet AMD), the cause of blindness in people over the age of 55 in North America and Europe. Visudyne is also used for the treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to pathologic myopia, or severe near-sightedness, and presumed ocular histoplasmosis or other macular diseases. The Eligard product line includes one, three, four and six month commercial formulations of Atrigel technology combined with leuprolide acetate.

It will take a long time to work out the toxic paper that has been rolled into Citi Holdings, but at least now we know where it is, and there is hope of transparency for both shareholders and the markets.

We hate to admit it, but CEO Pandit may have actually engineered "change we can believe in."
