That was a frequently used line around the Oldsmobile shop I worked at in the 80's. The mark of excellence was GM's slogan during the 60's. If you didn't work at a dealership, you wouldn't understand the generous part. I will try to explain, the Vega, Oldsmobile Diesel, rack & pinion steering on most FWD cars in the 80’s,Cadilliac HT 4100 engine, etc, etc. They gave away a lot because of bad product, cutting corners and shoddy engineering.

I hope not yet, still long on some stuff I want to get out of from earlier catching the knife trades before i came up with the bifurcated economy reflation theory. Where's AT when ya need him? If you do end up getting both the bottom and top of the Bear Market Rally called in real time I will be thoroughly impressed. What is more impressive, calling the tops and bottoms in real time or predicting the future like Steve Barry? I tend to go with calling realtime trades as being more impressive because I can't do it most of the time. I tip my hat to ya. We’ll see if this is the Official Elby Top at 845.61.

We've entered the stage where bad is good and good is bad, unless you don't really care then it is all goo, or bad. After Sunday's action for GM, The clock is ticking for real economic impacting actions taking place. It could be the pivot point that the govt can't back stop.

But I have made a good chunk on the Way Up from 666.79 to 845.61 intra-day today (+179.82; >25%) - and I am not smoking Magic Mushrooms one day longer than necessary, Mark. We'll leave that to the tools on CNBC. As BR has opined here many many times, monster 4 and 5% up days are features of Bear market rallies. and we all know how those end, don't we children? BTW, RIMM was up big but that was Q4 earnings - Before The Deluge and the Dead Banks Walking. The chances of my making The Call at the bottom and the top would seem to be extremely small.
