No thanks. You and Uncle Joe go ahead and explain that to us.

Although, if you refuse to acknowledge the obvious roaring success of the administration betting on the American auto industry, you can't really ignore that while trying to also blame the administration for any failures in the Green energy industry.

But I know that won't stop some :-)

IF these companies were going to succeed and had proper business plans and forecasts, they would not need gov't loans. Private investors would be footing the bill.

Exactly. But investment capital nowadays goes more to gambling on money, and created financial products, rather than actual capital investments in making something tangible.

You are kidding right?
GM and Chrysler are not doing well at all, despite what you might have read. Ford is reasonably solid thanks to new models and a killer ad-campaign.

None of those should be considered a "roaring success" though. Sometimes dead is better than sick, trust me.

No. It's not a joke. You said, "GM and Chrysler are not doing well at all, despite what you might have read." So tell us - what is not true about the below? Looks pretty good to me.

General Motors Reclaims Title Of World's Top-Selling Automaker
TOM KRISHER 01/19/12 03:48 PM ET Associated Press

DETROIT — General Motors Co. has retaken the title of world's top-selling automaker, selling just over 9 million cars and trucks across the globe.

The company said Thursday that it sold 9.03 million vehicles worldwide last year, up 7.6 percent from 2010. That's more than 1 million better than Japan's Toyota Motor Corp., which took the title away from GM in 2008.

GM had held the global sales crown for more than seven decades before losing it to Toyota, as GM's sales tanked while it headed toward financial ruin. In 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy protection, needing a U.S. government bailout to survive.

Now GM is profitable again and its vehicles are selling well across the globe. The company reported net income of $7.1 billion for the first three quarters of last year, and it is expected to add to that number when it reports fourth-quarter and full-year results in February.

So tell us - what is the secret story you know, behind the stock reports and public reports and sales records, that GM and Chrysler are "not doing well at all, despite what you might have read"?
what are the top 10 best selling vehicles in 2011? How did that Volt do?

What is GM's profit margin and financial health last quarter 2011?

What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof.

Yes, Dell, try to keep up - I quoted what the company released publicly about its financial condition. Clip Clop says that is not true. I am asking what is not true about the public financial releases. I am asking for proof of Clip Clops statement.

As a "shareholder" LOL, this is not considered a roaring success. GM Jan. 28 2011 $36.60 1 yr later $24.37. This type of performance is generally not even considered a good thing, let alone a "roaring success".

DAI $74.13 down to $56.50, if these are considered good things I would like to function as your broker if that very lucky position is currently unfilled.

It is imperative that this is the way success be measured as it is the only way "we" can see returns.

If you throw $ at every dying company out there of course it will appear to save jobs but dismal fiscal performances (in the eyes of share holders) will cause real investors to leave...again.

Any thoughts on the Ener1 thing???

So you measure success only in publicly traded stock price? Not a very safe way to invest. Is that all you meant?

BTW: you still have a stock ... right?
