| Lear Management: Unintentional Comedians Brendan Wagner submits:Lear is back folks. Well almost back. They're about to re-emerge from bankruptcy, after wiping out holders of the previous class of common stock. Barclays was out Thursday morning upgrading what I'll assume are the "new" shares. They're probably making a good call -- now that management owns enough of the new shares to actually care about the equity holders in this new "structure." I put this info out there not because I enjoy ranting about inept management, but rather as a warning to people who assume common stock ownership is (1) as safe as you think it is, and (2) that management is on your side all the time.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
At Current Levels, Is Toyota Worth Buying? Asif Suria submits: A friend of mine likes to tell a story about how the first car he bought in the 1990s was a brand new Toyota Corolla that stalled in the middle of the 101 freeway in the San Francisco bay area, leaving him feeling very vulnerable and causing him to swear off all Toyota (TM) cars. He has since then purchased a number of cars made by Ford (F) and appears to be happy with them. I had personally experienced a stalling issue with a new 2000 Toyota Camry that would manifest itself only when I exited a freeway and was stopped at a red light without manually turning the cruise control off. The dealer could not figure out why this was happening and the problem went away after a few months. In contrast I had very good luck with two Fords and still sometimes regret trading in my reliable 35th anniversary Mustang for an IS 350. Both these incidents occurred during a period of time when Toyota enjoyed the unblemished status of being one of the safest car companies and went on to surpass General Motors as the largest car company in the world. With two cars made by Toyota parked in my driveway (the IS 350 is affected by the recall), I have to say that over the years I have been satisfied with the quality and reliability of these cars.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
The Fall and Rise of Ford Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit: Ford Motor Company (F) took out its prior bull market highs today, and it is now trading at its highest level in 5 years and a few months. It's hard to think of a better comeback story than Ford. At the start of the 2000s, Ford was trading at $50.32. On November 19th, 2008, the stock closed at $1.26. Since that day, however, Ford is up 1,046%. Talk about being "Built Ford Tough."click to enlargeComplete Story » seekingalpha.com |
