Cars cost too darn much anyway. You can buy a good used one on the net!

reg:" GM earnings. It has taken GM 80 years to get to that. That comes to about 3.5 cents increase per quarter. AOL got to 4 times that in 1 year. we of course would have to consider inflation. Anybody calculate GMs rate of growth? I know of at least the last 30 years market share has gone to 1/2. If you include inflation, $2.84 is a shadow of what GM earned 50 years ago. Clearly GM has a negative growth rate, a shrinking market share. Other comments welcome,

TA

I figure:
GM doesn't have 17M buyers.
GM isn't growing earnings at 60% per year.
GM market share has been declining in its industry for a decade or more.
GM has low margins.
