		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team In perhaps one of the few success stories that will come from the bankruptcy of General Motors (GMGMQ), Saturn will be sold to Penske Automotive Group (PAG). As a brand Saturn was supposed to reinvent GM, but unfortunately it became the other way around. GM’s poor product construction remade Saturn. The brand suffered from it’s inconsistent products. If Penske can turn their success in racing and autos into improving the product quality of Saturn, they may well have gone home with the “Belle of the Ball.” In many ways Saturn was one of the best aspects of GM. Through their focus on satisfaction and loyalty, Saturn truly “got” why customers came back – Their dealers recognized the importance of the relationship. And customers responded. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AUTOS: CHANGES TO COME The auto industry is on the verge of significant changes. CHRYSLER Chrysler filed for bankruptcy as debt holders rejected an offer to take a 15% stake in the restructured company. The Treasury reached a deal earlier this week with four banks that hold the majority of Chrysler&#8217;s debt in return for $2 billion in cash. However, 40 hedge funds that hold roughly 30 percent of that debt also needed to sign on for the deal to go through. The Treasury Department and the four banks tried to persuade the hedge funds to take a sweetened deal of $2.25 billion in cash. However, the deal ultimately fell through. An announcement of a merger with Fiat was made. Facilities will be temporarily shut until the deal is consummated. ]]></description>

The Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s 500 index rose 13.04, or 1.5%, to 869.60.  The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 20.53, or 1.2%, to 1,673.07.  The broad-based S&#38;P 500, which recorded its steepest six-week gain since 1938, is now up 29% since hitting its 12-year nadir on March 9. As risk appetite grew treasuries declined, taking the yield on the 2-year to 0.981% and the 10-year to 2.953% as prices fell 4/32 and 30/32, respectively on Friday. The Vix, CBOE&#8217;s volatility index, declined 2.59 points over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Wissel, Editor in Chief, Investment U Dear Investment U Reader, We’ve heard everyone from the far right to the far left criticize the administration’s plan to kick out General Motors (NYSE: GM) CEO, Rick Wagoner, and the resulting “back to the drawing board order.” The outcry has been a little on the ridiculous side. Let’s face it – he deserved it. What seems to be scaring investors is that they believe the very essence of our capitalist society is on the verge of breaking down. But that’s simply ludicrous. Wall Street has plunged over the news in the past couple of days, still with no idea of what to make of it all. In many ways it reminds us of teenager who just found out their parents are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OPPORTUNITIES The industry is very concentrated, with the top 8 global auto companies having more than 90% of global revenues and the top 50 global auto parts companies having 80% of global revenues (the top 4 US tire producers have 75% of the US market). There is a focus on automation and simplifying product lines to lower costs and benefit from economies of scale. The average car now needs only 15-25 man-hours per vehicle and this drops 2% annually. Hybrid/alternative cars represent a source of growth in the future. Market share gains by hybrids/alternatives will be slow, and they are now only 4% of cars on the road. The automakers have been receiving TARP funding from the Treasury to cover cash burn issues. The exact amount continues to be a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The numbers of newly laid-off employees this week are staggering: 19,500 at Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), 2,000 at General Motors (NYSE: GM), 8,000 at Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), 5,000 at Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), 6,000 at Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), and 8,000 at Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S). With the amount of companies announcing major layoff growing, thoughts of an economic “nuclear winter” start to creep into the discussion. Nuclear winter is often thought about as the consequences of nuclear weapons release and the resulting environmental impact. But its current reference is economic, and for good reason. Companies are remembering the lessons from the 2000 dotcom bust. Those that laid staff off quickly and severely were the ones who survived. Companies that waited, or that did smaller lay-offs, didn’t make it. Looking around at the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investors spent the holiday-shortened Christmas week in an un-merry mood, digesting more gloomy economic data and taking stock of a tumultuous 2008. With the S&#38;P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Index down by 35.8% and 40.6% respectively for the year to date, many investors would be anxious to wave the old year goodbye. But changing the calendar digits from ’08 to ’09 will regrettably not make an iota’s difference to the perilous nature of the investment environment facing investors as we usher in the New Year. Come January 1, investors will not only be hung over from 2008’s market rout (and possibly the previous night’s exuberance), but also still be battling with the implications of the credit crisis for the global economy and financial markets, and in particular ]]></description>

And the worst thing is what it does to companies who accept its influence, even while the number of those falling under its spell continues to grow: General Motors (NYSE: GM), American International Group (NYSE: AIG), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), Well Fargo &#38; Co. (NYSE: WFC) and the list goes on and on… It’s been quite apparent about its intentions. But what warnings do these Spirits of Christmas &#8211; a.k.a. the government &#8211; want to give investors? Their message is simple: Investors can no longer ignore the government when investing. Regulation is back, and while it seems a heavy hand is needed ]]></description>

But the Japanese automaker sits on almost $19 billion is cash with little debt &#8211; a far cry from the dismal situation over a General Motors (NYSE: GM). Around the world governments have been struggling to find answers to the collapse of the credit markets. The result has been massive government investments and bailouts. But it’s been the auto industry that’s drawn the most criticism and debate. Canada just announced it would be injecting $3.3 billion into its auto production to prevent production from moving across the boarder. And their auto industry accounts for a much larger share of their economy than in the United States. Their ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GM Gets Its Fix General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Chrysler were relieved to find out that even though most Americans are opposed to helping them, and Congress isn’t far behind, they still have a friend in the Oval Office. The two companies will get a Christmas present of $13.4 billion. But aside from asking for funds, GM and Chrysler seem to have no idea of what to do. They’ve resorted to hanging around the federal reserves for handouts. Apparently their “Enabler-in-Chief” still wants to keep them hooked on poor performance and poor innovation. Although, in a surprising example of governmental restraint, GM and Chrysler have until March 31 to show they are viable. It’s like mom and dad requiring that they get jobs or be kicked out of the house. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fed Gets Zero for Zero Guns a blazin’ since this financial crisis began, the Fed fired its final shot yesterday. It lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to 0% to 0.25%. Welcome to the United States of Japan! In all seriousness, the federal funds rate is the rate (price) banks charge other banks on overnight deposits. It’s the primary monetary policy tool at the disposal of Ben Bernanke and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). And the purpose of dropping rates is to encourage banks to borrow money and therefore invest more freely. In other words, it’s supposed to kick start economic activity. But it’s not working. As Patrick Jacq, senior fixed-income strategist for BNP Paribas SA tells Bloomberg, “There is no demand coming from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity [greed!] is what is doing us in,” said James Reston, former New York Times journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner. Another chapter in dealing with the current credit and economic adversity was written on Tuesday when the US Federal Reserve announced a no-holds-barred set of measures in a determined attempt to fix the broken credit machine, revive economic activity and stem the deflationary tide. The Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) policy statement noted: “The Fed will employ all available tools to promote the resumption of sustainable economic growth &#8230; In particular, the Committee anticipates that weak economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the Fed funds rate for some time.” Although the FOMC slashed the Fed ]]></description>
