As GM began to sell its 478 million shares it was  thought that $30.00 was optimistic and now the price has climbed to  $33.00. This is a huge turnaround for GM who was more or less in  bankruptcy just six years ago. This remarkable IPO is the second largest  ever and as GM&#8217;s stock continues to gain strength the DJIA will recover  some of its losses. This will of course have a positive corollary  effect on the USD as well so traders on the forex currency exchange  should certainly take note of this and stay alert.<\/p>\n<p>GM still has an awful lot of debt to pay back to the US government  however it is on the right track and has posted record profits this year  and last. Much like a national government GM cut half of its brands and  laid off many employees in an effort to make the company economically  viable. So far so good as GM&#8217;s stock sale has proven fruitful and the  government is dialing back its ownership of the company. In a few more  years the government should be out of the company altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Since the USD has been falling lately against the Euro and other stable  currencies it is a good time to examine trades with this and other  pairs. Gains made by the Euro and the Japanese Yen are sure to be  shrugged off to an extent over the next 48 hours as the US stock market  rallies. These are definitely not intraday trades and should be made  with conservative SL\/TP figures. Utilize proper pivot points to avoid  taking losses on this trade and never make any assumptions on the Forex  market.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Author is a Forex trader and financial analyst residing in Denver,  Colorado.
