GM's sales are predominantly big gas guzzlers. They give the
public what they want.

Yep, and that was a BAD strategy.

Ya,, it is silly to provide products people want. Everyone knows
they should build 1 passenger aluminum foil death traps. Ya, that's
the ticket.

Yep, that was the ticket all right.

BMW, Huyndai, Honda, Toyota and others seem to be doing just fine as
compared to GM.

And whose stock would you rather own?

mike

Hondas sales are down 36% in March

Toyota sales are down 36% in March

BMW sales down 24% in March

GM and Ford sales down 45% and 41% in March
http://tinyurl.com/cabyjc

Whose stock would I want to own? With these numbers? You got to be kidding!

Relative to Honda and Toyota they are doing worse, but with the threat of
bankruptcy looming over GM, why would anyone buy their stock? If they did go
into bankruptcy they might in ordinary circumstances be a good investment
after reorganization, but in this case the US government would be one of the
primary owners and once you have politicians running the factory I could not
see a good outcome to say the least.
