Toyota v. GM: How quaint...

GM 36.99, +0.94, +2.6%) , feeling no significant impact from a two-day strike last month, reported sales of 334,974 light vehicles in the U.S. during September. That's up from 334,025 a year ago due mostly to a strong showing from its new line of full-size pickups and SUVs.

<IMG class=pixelTracking height=1 width=1 border=0 _extended="true">TM 117.88, -0.87, -0.7%) , as expected, posted a 4.4% decline to 222,950 cars and trucks, down from 213,043 a year ago. The monthly decline is Toyota's third in a row with analysts attributing the hiccup more to last year's torrid growth than any longer-term issues.

My day has brightened.

Hmm, methinks it may be time to buy some stock in GM. I know it's only a small gain now, but if all goes to plan, we may see some huge jumps in the next few years.

Too bad I can't really afford to buy any meaningful quantities of stock right now.

yup...or if your smart(purely money-wise)...by Toyota stocks low - when they bounce back, you can see significant returns...then pull out, and invest long-term in GM

Yeah, the only problem is you need about 1000 shares to see any significant gain. If you only buy one share and GM's stock doubles, you just made $30, Woot!

Nah, right now all my money is going to the Camaro. Well when I get money it will be, I promise.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-02-2007, 04:26 PM

Same here. 100% towards Camaro. I don't trust the stock market right now...mostly, because I don't know how to exloit it, like some people...

Is there any sites where I can find the price of individual stocks ? I may start to invest.

yeah, go to MSN.com and click on money.
Google has a stock thing, and yahoo probably does too.

Their prices are all delayed about 20 minutes, but it's close enough for you to get an idea.
