Is GM the winner of the government takeover of GM?
Is Chrysler the winner of Fiat’s takeover of Chrysler?

NO! The real winner is TOYOTA. The Japanese automaker now takes over the #1 spot. It has the largest share of the U.S. light vehicle market. Toyota’s share is expected to reach 20% this year. GM will lbe ucky to have 16%.

For years I have asked why would someone want to buy a “Toy” Ota? But now I have to change my tune. I am going to send in a suggestion to the automaker. I think they should change their name to REALOTA. After all they are the REAL auto company of the U.S. In fact, we should consider renaming the car as the “Otamobile.”

Realota should do well in the green smaller otamobile market being pushed by the government. You might consider it as an investment.

If people are pulling out of high yield stocks, what are they doing with that money?

Right now, investors are far more interested in commodities, emerging markets, and inflation plays… not stocks with high yields.

A great play right now is to be long silver. Silver futures, options on silver futures, silver ETFs and Options on silver ETFs. Silver coins are good if you can get them without paying outrageous prices.

Playing the gold silver ratio, long silver and short gold has produced around $10,000 in a very short time. In Traders Money Club, I’ve been beating that drum for quite some time. The gold/silver ratio was way out of whack. Either gold had to come down hard, silver soar, or a little of both. Right now silver is soaring.
