Replying to: tagman (Nov 24, 2008 2:16 pm) I hear ya, TM. Try to enjoy it here even though you hit a cold snap we are in. Stay warm and remember it's all about your family and they need you.   Anyway, I'm about 40 mile south of you in NJ. Have a great Thanksgiving in NY. There is much to be thankful for even in this trying period! I am with you!   Regards, OW

Replying to: dewey (Nov 24, 2008 1:38 pm) But car sales are slumping, and it's now clear Tata Motors overpaid for its British trophy.   Still better than coughing up some $37B to "merge" with Chrysler. Ford repeatedly dumped buckets of money into Jag over more than a decade, with pretty much nothing to show for it. They finally broke the trend of re-skinning 30 year old platforms with the '04 XJ, and it looked just like the car it replaced. In order for Jag to have any hope of survival, especially in this market, Tata is going to have to get used to throwing a hell of a lot of money at it. Either that, or they might as well pull the plug. Replies to this message: dewey (Nov 24, 2008 7:46 pm) lexusguy (Nov 24, 2008 10:45 pm) dewey (Nov 25, 2008 11:26 am)

Replying to: tagman (Nov 24, 2008 2:16 pm) TagMan, I am truly very sorry to see you in this predicament. Here is what my friend, the guru, says today about the stock market. Look for a very nice rally the next 6-7 weeks. The Dow will likely reach about 10,200 by the end of this year or very early in 2009. A lot of people will think that because of this move, the recession is over or will be very mild. They will be dead wrong. My friend says that the Dow will plunge dramatically from this level and approach the 5,000 level (I said above that it would plunge to 5500-6000 in 2009 but he now says 5,000). Very nasty economic news will be coming out in 2009 to take us down to this level. Personally, I am going to take advantage of this good rally and cash out the few mutual funds my wife and I still hold. Thus, if you believe my friend (he has been dead on about this catastrophic collapse), you should sell your stock holdings with this rally the next several weeks. BTW, my friend has been buying physical gold over the past year (I have not to this point). He is of the opinion that the dollar will absolutely plummet in 2009 to 2010.   I just thought that I would share this information with you folks but you are obviously free to do whatever you want. I guess I should issue a disclaimer here: "Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results".

Replying to: tagman (Nov 24, 2008 2:16 pm) Sorry Tag to hear about your situation. This situation is of yours is becoming prevalent even here in Canada. I really do wish you the best!   My family loves NYC. We were there August and now we want to go back soon. So much to do there.   Take care and enjoy this Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 24, 2008 3:16 pm) till better than coughing up some $37B to "merge" with Chrysler   I can almost hear the big sigh of relief at the Daimler head office in Stuttgart for getting rid of that money pit called Chrysler.   The former MB CEO Juergen Schremp's stupidity is only exceeded by those mindless goons at Cerebreus.   Replies to this message: lexusguy (Nov 24, 2008 10:45 pm) dewey (Nov 25, 2008 11:26 am)

Replying to: jlbl (Nov 24, 2008 2:20 pm) My yearning for an Audi has already grown since mid November's snowfall in Toronto. As of now we are still snow and ice covered.   Forget Global Warming right now I am convinced of this new theory of mine called Global Icing (please dont ask me to prove my theory)

Replying to: dewey (Nov 24, 2008 7:46 pm) The former MB CEO Juergen Schremp's stupidity is only exceeded by those mindless goons at Cerebreus.   Absolutely. I'm not in favor of any bailout for any of the D3, but Cerberus especially deserves absolutely nothing. They're a private company, and they knew what they were getting when they bought Chrysler. Nobody seemed to have a problem with a Cerberus "strip-and-flip" of Chrysler when everybody thought that was the plan. Now, all of a sudden Chrysler is "too important" to the US to let it fail? Since when?   The three of them have a combined 14 brands and FAR too many dealers. At least one of them MUST go under, which will automatically help the other two for the sheer fact that a (steadily diminishing) segment of the population wont consider a foreign make, even if Camrys come from Kentucky while Fusions come from Mexico.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 24, 2008 10:45 pm) "TOO BIG TO FAIL"   That's the new vocabulary today for any company that wants to be bailed out by tax payers.   When a company like GM can only sell a Cobalt for $4K less then an equivalent Civic (based on Canadian pricing) in a market segment that is right now the hottest one to be in then failure has already occured .   In this case the new vocabulary should be:   TOO BIG OF A FAILURE TO SUCCEED!
