Volkswagen AG (ADR) (NASDAQOTH:VLKAY.PK)

One of the cheapest stocks I've ever seen, and VW is a great brand!

With US stocks trending downward in Spring/Summer, we may see a pop for VW and I'm hoping in this vlkay.pk share option. A dividend payable for shares held April 17, 2012.

VW!

Volkswagen is the best positioned auto manufacturer right now to capture a signifiant share of the Chinese market, the Brazilian market, and to finally make measurable headway in the U.S. with its namesake brand, which has suffered here of late. It is poised to pass Toyota Motor to become the world's second-largest manufacturer after GM. It has a multitude of brands across markets and across the globe. Its products are almost universally praised (though reports of "cheaping out" on the new U.S. Jetta are surfacing as the company tries to price more aggressively against that car's rivals) and carries products for every market sector. It has publicly announced that it expects sales to grow dramatically as it continues to innovate and introduce new models into several markets. Finally, it has seen no measurable impact from the Japan earthquake which has otherwise affected most of its competitors, U.S. manufacturers included.

One of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. Owners of VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Bugatti and Bentley brands. They have several high-MPG diesel and gasoline engine designs today and are working on hybrid and full electric designs. Several years ago they showed a diesel electric hybrid that got 70+ MPG. Primed and ready for the upcoming fuel crunch.

Their profit went through the roof this last quarter. They want to be the number 1 in car sales in america, so I expect them to flood the market with good deals. They just have to be sure they don't leave quality behind.

Like ford, but a superior global product and it will keep getting better. Weathered the GFC easily. A quiet achiever.
Ever since I test drove one, VW is more than a car to drive A-B, has an cult like following . Went out and bought two Golfs. The company will be the number one car builder within the decade. Yet the share price has not woken up to this fact.

"Strategy 2018"

My car!

Volkswagen stock has been hammered...it looks like it hit bottom and is moving up...it is investing heavily in China, India and Brazil...clean diesel engines made by VW are better, cleaner and have a better mpg than most hybrids...VW has the most to gain by Toyota's current problems...people need cars.

These guys have taken a really hard hit and not sure why. They put out a nice looking and very reliable product. This is one to keep an eye on........especially with the recent Toyota issues.

The number of new sales and projected sales

I believe volkswagen has a good chance of recovering and growing again, with the advent of its new diesel car coming in 2010 with 200 mpg, while not anywhere near the final step of what is needed, it is a step in the right direction and I believe will lead them where we need to go.

In the words of a VW commercial:

Just picked my first CAPS play. Think I did something Wrong!

I don't love the cars but lots of people do. One of the best balance sheets among the car companys. Sales growing in S America and China. EPS increased in 2008 when most car companies cried.

Visceral pick for now. Details to follow.
