They lose money for every car they sell. And for this we should "break free of labels like “socialism” and “nationalization” that are limiting our thinking”?
This industry will have to undergo many changes to allow new entrepreneurs to enter and reinvigorate the auto building process. The short term solution of "saving" jobs through a government takeover is short sighted and ultimately counterproductive.

These funds seem to know how to deal with the short sale restrictions. Most short restrictions are for financial companies, so I would not be concerned about this when selecting a bear market ETF, unless you are looking at a financial sector ETF. I bought EEV and SMN on 10/1 and am very happy with the posative returns. I expect a long term bear, probably through Q2 in June 09.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:42:48 -0400 Bear market funds like QID use investments that are inverse to the stock.
