Shares in the small, loss-making Dutch luxury carmaker Spyker Cars NV surged again Monday on hopes the company's owners will reach a deal to buy Saab from General Motors Co. that could also bolster Spyker's prospects. Spyker shares surged 29 percent to euros 2.77 on news media reports saying that a deal was close. Spyker spokesman Mike Stainton said Monday the reports were 'speculation.' He said the negotiations are continuing. On Jan. 6, CEO Ed Whitacre Jr. said of Saab: 'It's real easy. Just show up with the money and you can have it.' GM has begun shutting Saab down, though its 3,400 employees have not yet been laid off. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong, FILE)
