What Will Drive Auto Stocks After Cash for Clunkers?

Maybe you shouldn't drive "investments". For investment try buying a older BMW Bavaria or an early Benz 280SL or even a muscle care like Mopar Dodge/ Plymouth early 70's..... Then park those investments in climate controlled garage.

RE: "Those UAW workers you whine about have doubled their productivity over the last 15 years, have you doubled yours?"

Chuckie, young man, the productivity gains in the last 100 years or so have come from automation and robotics. Humans can only do a certain amount without tools... the better the tools (in quality, quantity and design), the more product a singular human can create. Humans cannot physically work 20% faster!!!! Especially with the union stewards looking over their shoulders.

Not only the UAW, but many other unions are loathe to adopt automation and robotics because it reduces the need for so a large number of workers. They have generally fought to keep the productivity of workers from rising in order to keep the status quo of the production process. Production companies, particularly the Japanese and less so the Germans are keen on automation and robotics.

So Chuckie, laddie, Eat your words!
