A health care company that has no money? Sorry, but have you noticed the huge advancements in health care cost sharing lately? And even with the latest announcement on cost cuts, we haven't trimmed the essential technology investments David refers to. It is our future. We have hybrids. We have alternative fuel vehicles. We have more cars that get over 30 mpg than anyone. And we are leading the way to the electrification of the auto. Don't believe me? Just watch. Ok, so I work for GM.

One question is whose stock would a 25 year old decide to invest in..GM or Ford or one of the new start ups that aim for highy fuel efficient cars on our roads. It is truly a fork in the road extremely burdened by the culture and legacy that the big three carry as baggage. If any of them can deposit that baggage, and move forward there may be no better investment than another century for the Big Three (Two..One) Only they, (and foreign giants) and not start ups can produce the millions of cars that will replace the current fleet.
