Sounds like a good strategy to me!

I've been w-a-a-a-a-y over weighted PM stocks for a very long time. :)

GM is amazingly cheap given its revenue, gross profit and net assets less pension liabilities. But traders continue to take it down until it gets booted from the S&P.

GM seems to be the S&P100 component with the tiniest market cap, less than Sara Lee

How low GM? Goldman Sachs is heartless! They downgraded the stock because it potentially needs capital. Holy shit, now every other day an investmentbank can come out and downgrade something on that reason.
Next month they can say thing are not as bad as they appear and they need no capital anymore. I´m darn sure.

GM cut at Goldman on potential need to raise capital

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs cut its rating on three auto stocks Thursday. The broker downgraded General Motors Corp. to sell from neutral and lowered its price target to $11 from $19, saying deteriorating market fundamentals could exacerbate liquidity concerns. "We think GM's automotive cash flow burn this year and next is likely to lead it to look to raise capital, which we believe could lead to significant shareholder dilution and/or a cut to the company's dividend," Goldman said. It also lowered its rating on Lear Corp. to sell from neutral, citing its disproportionally large exposure to the big three truck makers. Finally the broker downgraded Tenneco, Inc. to neutral from buy, saying that while it continues to see the stock as a core long-term holding with strong earnings and free cash flow growth prospects, it believes second-quarter earnings could miss expectations.

Why not soon-to-expire GM bonds rather than shares?

The yield is probably OK as they are junk and you go to the head of the line if GM should BK.

Not my idea but it sounds solid.
