Daimler AG (USA) (DAI)

Declining revenue, depressed industry, no profit to speak of now or for a while, pretty close to 52 week high.

hmm.. daimler is known as sideway mover.

There's a lot more people driving a Mercedes than people who can afford to drive a Mercedes.

Consumer goods sector will be weak for at least another quarter, and US car manufacturers are not competitive in the long run, no matter how many band aids Obama slaps on them.

DAI vs. Industry
Div Yield: 1.7 v. 2
Sales 5-Yr Growth Rate: -5.47 v. -4.02
Current Ratio: 1.1 v. 1.3

On tech side, there's a CCI sell signal and momentum indicators are dropping.

GOOD TRUCKS STOCK

major auto manufacturers

With the release of new and exciting models, I am expecting better performance from now.

This dog will bark soon, I shorted too soon! They will have problems selling in US and will get back cheaper $ due to weakening US$.and Europe sales will be no picnic either!

Thsi one will recover nicely over the next decade!

Another bailout recipient which has sparked a renewed interest in the company. This is the best company of the three majors so they should do quite well with the assistance.

luxury plus motor vehicles... watch as interest rates and tightening belts kill their earnings and profits

auto is dead

Car sales are down in general due to the uncertain economy and tight credit. I also doubt that people want to buy a new expensive car that runs on only gas. Its like buying an old computer at an inflated price. When the auto industry comes out with a good quality gas/electric car or minivan that is a good value, then buyers will return.

I think the negative wealth effect has people not buying cars now.

BK?

Mechanical Strategy: Every year (1) Take the 500 biggest stocks in the caps database (in terms of market cap) - (2) Pick those ten stocks with positive earnings whose price/book values are closest to 1.

Now is the time to buy with all stocks having been dragged down, Daimler finally having gotten rid of Chrysler, and some key metrics (P/E, div yield, P/B,...) being ridiculously low.
