decline frankly market north people profitable sharp
With their sharp decline in market share, they have frankly got too much capacity, too many plants, too many people to be profitable in North America.
capacity gm quarter service vehicle
Fundamentally speaking, GM has enough capacity to service one-third of the American vehicle business, but they only have about a quarter of it right now.
advised becomes board gm seat trouble
GM would be advised to give him that board seat before he makes more trouble and becomes more of a nuisance,
actual bit customers fleet gm losing market mostly results retail sales share total
GM is losing market share overall, but mostly because of its fleet sales. GM's sales to actual retail customers were up a bit in February, so its total market share is down, but in the units that really count, the results weren't that bad.
bail china gm problems profitable solve united
GM has to solve its problems (in the United States) before it can be profitable again. China is not going to bail out the company.
december gm last november push unusually weak year
GM had an unusually weak November a year ago. It made a big push in December last year, a big push in the summer, and November was kind of a lull.
crisis feeding frenzy gm mode small
If it wasn't GM in crisis mode and the whole feeding frenzy going on in the media, a small restatement like this wouldn't get any attention.

We're off to a booming start and everybody's going to be raising their sales forecasts for the year.

Barring something we don't see coming, like $2 gasoline or 10 percent interest rates, I don't see the slowdown coming anytime soon.

I hate to disappoint the people who want to panic, but this is strictly housekeeping. I would think with all these things cleared up, it may clear out some small hurdles that otherwise might have gotten in the way of a sale.
decline guess market product share side skeptical turn
I guess I'm a little skeptical about the product side of this restructuring. Can they turn around the decline in market share with their new product?
bankruptcy buy gotten resources stock
I don't buy the bankruptcy talk. I think they have the resources to get through this. The stock has gotten so banged up, it could be an interesting speculation play. But I'm not going to try it myself.
absence core ford hurt longer outlet relate thousands vehicles
Hertz is no longer an outlet for the tens of thousands of Ford vehicles that it used to be, and it doesn't relate to Ford's core business. I don't think the absence of Hertz will hurt Ford overall.
business cars daily ford less outlet sales
Hertz has become less and less important as an outlet for Ford cars as Ford has pared back sales to Hertz and other daily rental companies. It's really a noncore business right now.
