GM has completely failed to face the reality of high priced oil. While one can't fault them for selling the gas guzzlers Americans were wanting to buy, at the very least they could have had pursued some R&D so they could cope with the potential of $3.00, $4.00 or perhaps $5.00 gasoline. The price pof Gas has reached $4.00 and they are just now deciding to eliminate the Hummer line, and perhaps build an electric car of some sort? To little to late. Good management keep irons in the fire...just in case.

The S&P is the perfect mix of stocks to gain from a rebound in the US economy . There is nothing about this that bothers me. In fact, I kind of wish the market would go down a little more so I could get it for cheaper.

I think Apple will do well over the next 12 months. Good company and the overall market is very depressed right now , any recovery should take the stock up. However to the person who said "Apple is replacing the PC", that will never happen. For one Apples are much more expensive. And two, gaming is huge and most computer games are made only for PC (Mac gets a few but not significant amount). So PC is here to stay. As is Apple IMO but don't expect it to make the IBM PC obsolete

Recently release news that they plan on producing there own cpu chips for the ipod and iphone and won't be buy from Intel an samsung any, so basically they are going to competing against the major chip makers. Their R&D expenses is going to be immense and its going to take at least a couple of years for them to make decent chips that will be able to compete with Intel and Samsung, not to mention the addition competition since Intel and Samsung will just sell there chips to someone else.

I bought 100 shares of walmart because in this poor economy i feel as though walmart, a store that provides great advertising and low prices, will continue to do well
