GM market share in Europe is in decline,union labor cost to high to continue in market,Europe ready to default, Asia auto sales in decline over 8% over quality and competion,North American sales of Volt at 600 per month, equalls cost per unit at 225.000 each, the cruze is doing alot better, but very little profit margin, add the fact Toyota, and Honda will take market share from GM, is not even a question. So the stock, it will lose 5 to 8 dollars per share by April! Obama will not be able to use Auto Bailout as a plus, But Romney will! General Electric is already trying to get out of the 12000 Volts thsy said they would buy!

Also remember in Europe labor unions much more common than in North America. And as far as the 8% drop in auto sales by GM they are looking year over year, so to tell the whole story you need to look at how strong GM sales were a year ago in the same period. Look at the whole story Mark not just the part you want to. This is how Fox skews the information they call news.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Libra

It's one of those difficult days when anything can and will happen. Someone you were relying on might let you down, plans could be changed at the eleventh hour or a machine could go on the blink. To make matters worse, your energy levels are very erratic, so you feel full of beans one minute and ready to go to sleep the next. Don't make the situation worse by eating foods that give you a high followed by a slump.
