AN could be an interesting addition to Sears - but there are other options. The addition of the Gates group into the mix will also make options interesting. The market does not control the share votes on this one. Also with so little stock traded on the market - the market price can be dynamic -

This should be a $20 stock - and it really is a $25 stock if we assume the auto market will improve. America needs transportation - and the auto is a part of life. It may not be gas powered in the long term - but it will be an auto powered by something. The margins on these smaller vehicles will be much better as demand increases and as those who switch add comfort options to the base car.

So sit tight - buy shares at these low prices - should have bought more at $7 ish. ]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:50:04 -0400

The sad part is AN will potentially go private at a price much lower then the value of the investment in assets - playing the emotional market enhanced by the media - to buy the company below the intrinsic value of the producing assets.

In the end - economics is eventually recongized in the market - but emotion will drive many from using sound investing judgement. I don't know you - but most of your original comments were on track - however it amazes me that financially oriented analyst bait their work with attention grabbing titles - suggesting something like bailout or saving a company going down for the final count.

Today - too many people watch the stock market - and too many people have their life savings and pension in the market. 30 years ago the average worker was not interested in the market - today most workers and the general population are feel their financial security is tied to the market - and they panic when the media sensationalizes the facts - pushing the market and public to extremes. It would be nice if the media would take time to educate the general population on investing for the long term and understanding market cycles.

If you are an investor - this is a good company - if you are a speculator thinking you can make 30% in the next day - you should not be in stocks at all.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:15:17 -0400
