GM Doesn’t Need Money

AP reports that General Motor’s (GM) CFO says they don’t need $2billions as cost cutting is bearing fruits. Quite interesting, and possibly a good sign for GM’s survival. But I think more than cost cutting, they need to have cutting edge car models and this cutting edge doesn’t mean high tech, but the models that will fit to the pockets and life style of the consumers of tomorrow.

Coming back to Dow, the short term buy signal expects it to move further up, and once it crosses 7,286 (round it off to 7,300), the low that Dow registered on Oct 9, 2002, the next logical resistance level will be 7,470. We need to see if Bulls has what is takes to penetrate that level with sufficient degree of confidence as demonstrated by volume.
