      How To Save the Big 3 Automakers
      One cause of the poor cars offered is the Dealers and companies writing state laws to encourage the well off to turn over their cars often. The buyer has a short term outlook if it is a 2 or 3 year lease. The deduction of the trade in for sales taxes also helps the short term view. In Europe they hold their cars longer so they demand a good car not a disposable one.

      The bonus system got out of hand for the auto leaders. They should be given shares to hold as a penson and only sold slowly after retirement. No golden parachutes.
      One sharp guy the other day said give Toyota $50B to take GM off the gov't hands. And give Honda $20B take care of the Ford mess.

      Six Reasons to Like the Morgan Stanley Emerging Market Domestic Debt Fund
      They seem to have a big holding in a country just before it runs into trouble. July 1 2008 above it was Brazil now Brazil is cooling. Before it was Turkey and South Africa . I have not checked it out month by month it just seems to be that way. Anybody follow it more closely?
