Until and unless Wall Street is reformed playing the stock market is a great way for the average Joe to lose his shirt.

Eddie, I have NO idea. My gut says, Rob, you're right, but all I have is my 401k

It's good to see GM doing better. The new Malibu looks nice, reviews well, and hopefully will offset the Cobalts' bad rep.

The Buick sport-ute looks mighty fine too.

But none of them can hold a candle to a Lincoln, right.

You and me, both, Pete. 401k is all we've got. So, I keep pumping money into mine and praying that no one, from either government or Wall Street decides they need that money more than I do.

Well Leland did leave Cadillac and started Lincoln - he had to keep moving upward

Springs tomorrow, if I'm not around Monday you know why

Next time, I'm signing a note!

Sorry to break this to ya Pete, but spring started a month ago.

Oops, just remembered you're going to tackle the Lincoln's suspension tomorrow. Good luck with that.

Yes, Social Security is backed by the government. Shares in GM are not.
