Boston-based Fidelity Investments is one of General Motors’ largest unsecured creditors, owed some $12 million for overseeing the auto giant’s pension plans and other employee benefits.

GM’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition yesterday listed Fidelity as the automaker’s 26th largest creditor, with $11,980,946 due. All told, GM listed $172.8 billion in debt.

A family member writes code for this product for Fidelity.

They are stressed beyond belief.

Peanuts when compared to what GM owes any number of other creditors, probably including its own pension funds.

Gee...

Maybe they can ask Barney Frank for their money back from the fund raiser they threw for him to help make up the short fall....

Mines in Wells Fargo, which is little better in the “we don’t know what the hell the liabilities are” department but seeing’s how I’ve been a “gloom and doomer” since ~2003, I had it all parked in money market and it’s actually realized an annual positive return every year.

At this time though, I’m about to take out the full loan amount on it and use <50% to pay off the last of our debt and the rest to PMs or a cash reserve...
