Hi Bob:

Hard work makes opportunities. I've seen many who are fortuntate but don't make the sacrafices or effort to succeed.

Many take the easy choice and then compain when others succeed. Two key lessons I learned early on is one always add value and two, education doesn't stop after graduation.

Now as much as my father used to sell Pontiac's I'm not a GM fan.

Best,

Tim

if GM hadn't killed the electric car, maybe we wouldn't be where we are today.

who killed the electric car?

Visualize a car engine.

When there is enough motor oil, the pistons are firing up and down rapidly and the system runs efficiently. When the oil dries up, the engine begins to deteriorate. It’ll go for a little while longer. And it’ll become much more violent and volatile each time it fires. Invariably the engine siezes up and fails.

What we see in many aspects of the system right now are pistons that are firing violently.

First a crash in the stock market. Then trillions in bailouts. Then an historic and massive stock market swing in the other direction. We see individuals speaking out in public, on the airwaves and on personal blogs en masse about one topic or another.

Whether it is rep-on-Obama or dem-on-Bush bashing, there are extreme levels of divisiveness and heated, sometimes violent clashes. The system is moving into extreme peaks and troughs at a much more rapid pace now than anytime in the last 50 or more years.

We are in the opening stages of the Greatest Depression, a term coined by Trends Forecast founder Gerald Celente.

The next stage, as Mr. Celente has said, will be “like nothing we’ve ever seen in our life time.”
