| AutoNation: Earnings Preview Zacks.com submits: AutoNation (AN) will release its sales and earnings results for the third quarter ended Sep 30, 2009, on Thursday, Oct 29, 2009, before the market opens.

Cramer: Still Selling Toyota and Buying Ford Ockham Research submits: “…Case in point, The Ford Motor Company. This company is blowing the doors off the business! 43% monthly sales gain. Stunning increase in market share from 14% to 17%. It just passed General Motors…Yet how many times have you asked me about a different auto company in the “Lightning Round”, as right now I’m getting questions about Toyota almost daily. Are the short-term problems with Toyota an opportunity to buy the stock? I know that’s what you’re thinking. To which I say, how do I know if they are just short-term problems, for heaven’s sake? What if Toyota is a damaged company… This Toyota fiasco could be like the Audi sudden acceleration problem from a different era that gutted that firm’s reputation for years. If I were you, I’d sell Toyota, buy Ford.” — CNBC’s Mad Money 3/2/2010Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
