  • GM Bankruptcy: Time for New-Era Auto Opportunities [View article]
    I hope you were joking about appointing Nader and Moore to run GM. Moore is too busy stuffing his face with food and Nader has been wrong sooooo many times that being "right" about GM means nothing--Nader was about 25 year premature on his prediction, so its predictive "value" is questionable at best.
    Eventually (100+ years) all companies will either be bought or fail--similar to predicting the weather a few years out...rain, sun, cloudy, snow--pretty good shot at being "right" sometime in the future.
