You were speaking of how ell the NYSE is working, I thought you might have a little better insight than I. I see the market shaking out the gamblers, and the small players. I am not sure it is working. Of course if you follow the averages and picked stock. I was hoping for a couple tips, actually.
As for the stats, this is hilarious. We both know the unemployment figures only cover those on the roles. There are bogus numbers. Let's be serious the banks are shaking out the gamblers and homeowners in real estate and business.
No big deal as this same scenario unfolded back in the Great Depression. It ended up making the country stronger. After the markets quit gyrating the industrial base fired up and with Cleveland making steel and zippers, and Detroit cranking out cars, and tooling. America was itself in 10 15 years.
Oh that's right no manufacturing base.
Damn!

I dunno, I find the Chevy buying Ford story pretty far-fetched. GM doesn't have that kind of money, because the Ford family would want A LOT for their company, and I don't think they're in the mood to give up the ghost.
I think you just heard a rumor full of BS, Jim ... just be careful and don't print it as truth. First rule of journalism is check your sources. If someone says it, it's not true until you can get it verified from several different sources. You make it sound like it's a done deal, and in the end it just might be an urban myth.
Just checking around on the internet, there is a discussion of rumors surrounding GM buying Ford ... from September 2006. I think GM's got enough troubles of its own than buying another troubled car company.

While I see the problems you mention and agree.
It was a Ford Assmebly line telling me they were not striking because of closing.
Thanks for the note
