| Ford Fusion Gets Top Marks, Company Stock Soars TheCarConnection.com submits: A year ago, many people were predicting the end of Detroit. In light of the financial sector's collapse and the subsequent Big Three implosion (not to mention a few highly publicized chats between Detroit CEOs and members of Congress), naysayers around the world insisted that America's moment to shine was over -- at least as far as cars were concerned.

As regular readers know, I've been bearish since June 2009, after I cashed in on the quick rally in March, April, and May of that year. My last ten months of sitting on the sidelines as the general market has risen 30% has been far from fun, but it has not made me question my decision to get out. At the time, I judged that the potential gains did not justify the downside risks, and I believe the rise since then has only reduced any potential gains and increased the risks of staying in.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
