Topic: How much trouble is GM in

[Northernridge]

They made $7.5B in profit in North America last year. Company wide, including losses in Europe, they made $3.8B. They can weather this mess pretty well on their own.

^^This sums it up. Analysts continue to recommend GM stock and some call this a good entry point. Oh...never listen to analysts.

Edit: Here is the analyst recommendations as of 4:11pm CST July 2, 2014. This is from the analysts that follow GM.

if you believe they'll weather the storm, could be a stock to keep an eye on and get in later.
I say later because at some point when the dust settles they report the total cost and the stock will likely take a hit.

your edit beat me to login into my Q-Trade account.   
I'd still wait to buy, but then again, I'd never buy GM stock.

funny ones aside,  that's a pretty extensive list and has to make some people wonder, how can they screw up so much.

Only a few of them have more than one recall. If I had a car and it gets a recall for a seat belt retractor problem or a loose fuse block, I wouldn't exactly be put out.

My 2011 Outback had two recalls, one for the sunroof, which wasn't properly secured and which might have blown off at highway speed, and one for the windshield wiper motor, which might have caught fire in certain circumstances. Both were dealt with during regular servicing. It was still an excellent car and performed flawlessly for the time we had it.
