If I would not buy their crappy cars I certainly would not buy their crappier stock. RIP detroit - you fucked up! And the saying "As GM goes so goes the US" is sooo passe. Despite the fact I am not a US bull, low price stocks and midcaps can still flurish in the US log passed when GM will no longer trade....
I think the whole problem in Detroit has been that for years management could somehow convince themselves and the workers that they built the best cars in the world. In fact, that world knew better, these cars were crap to todays standard. Almost any japanese or european car is built better, more efficient and easier to use.
This denial of reality is what killed them in the end. What helped is a government that didn't urge them, by tax or whatever, to build more energy-eficiency and pollution-controlled. Current government is in the pocket of banks and big industry and their natural conservatism will be their demise. Thank god for that.
