Sometime in the next few months we will see GM's reported sales go through a little "adjustment" like it experienced in June and July. I also suspect that when fleet and commercial sales are totaled for the year GM will be found to have changed their policy on "fleet sales reduction" in mid-year. If Bob operated a piece of farm equipment it would be one for the distribution of organic fertilizer. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, Bunter I’m going to stick my neck out a bit and make a little prediction.

If sales are behind, then sales are behind and sorry Lutz but that means you're NOT doing fine. Does Lutz even know what happened with GM's 3rd quarter financials? Excluding any special items, GM lost over 1 Billion in Q3. So in other words Lutz is saying that “they’re doing fine” based on the obvious?

G.M isn't in the best position,gas price isn't going down any time soon.Then the morgage mess. Rick W and his team lost the UAW as a place to divert blame. Now I guess its Rick and Bobs turn to except responsability.Its not like it was a big secret that oil was going to get ugly. G.M can't weather a 12 month downturn in the economy I’m guessing here.What I’m sensing is the board and the shareholders arn’t too happy.

"Little" is a word used when adults talk to adults. the word ‘tiny’ is really under utilized when it comes to talking to stockholders about how you’re coming up short. he should also try ‘tincy’ and ‘wincy’ together and maybe ‘eenie’ and ‘weenie’. “Little” is a word used when adults talk to adults.

His powers of prognostication are remarkable. I can do the same with the weather...check this. If it is an early winter, if it will snow November...or December. If it is an early spring, the snow will all be gone by the end of March...or April. You can take these predictions to the bank my friends. Seriously though, talk about prevarication. How did this guy stay out of politics? That is INCREDIBLE. His powers of prognostication are remarkable.
