The business model was stupid to begin with. It shows a serious lack of any understanding in the market they are trying to be in.

The restructuring does have merit. But don't associate that to Jack Welch.

If Jack Welch were involved, Siemens' stock would be at $500 right about now.

And if you just simply do some research and read its earnings going forward, you will notice that something bad is going to happen. They still have significant margin problems associated with poor executions.

The CEO does not have control over his company and he is only dumping business units that undergo hard times. If you see in the next two years the other businesses starting to have bad profits, the first thing that he'll do is to dump them. Because he does not have the capability to hold BUs accountable, he resorts to selling them.

BTW, GE is so good at double digit growth, the stock according to Jim Cramer is played out. Siemens' stock is more of a momentum play because they only need to show little growth and stocks go up.

Like Jim Cramer said, don't be fooled.

You must be kidding. You basically just look at the stock price and declare Siemens is the winner??

GE is growing at double digit rate, Siemens is NOT. Siemens has a lot of internal structure problems especially in Germany. Does the recent BenQ fiasco ring a bell?

GE turned around its division when it's struggling. Siemens under the current CEO just dump anything. Eventually, Siemens will only a 100-people company worldwide comprises of Klaus and his friends.

Someone mentioned that the BMW 335i has a 3.5L engine, that's incorrect. It's still a 3.0L inline 6.

300 lb-ft of torque on the BMW is achieved at 1700 rpm.

If you are looking at only hourse power, then you can get a Civic and turbocharge it all you want. If you are looking at a well balanced luxury vehicle, BMW is it.

Not need to hate BMW just because you are not smart enough :-)

I get sick and disgusted at the racist, idiotic, uneducated comments by Monkiavelli against Japanese.

It just shows you how smart the Japanese are in understanding the US market on what sells in the USA.

We, stupid Americans, can only whine and bitch. We are way too lazy to put quality research and thoughts into how things work.

Which is why Japanese, Europeans products are selling like hot cakes and American products sell like shit even at its home turf. It's because of idiots like you who are too lazy to think.

I'd like to give these idiots my own middle finger and go *F* off. I am so glad that these idiots are in Iraq because they deserve to die for a cause that has been false from the beginning. These jack asses are okay with the lies coming from Bush and the Christians right, but couldn't recognize what is truth when it shows up in their face. They would rather listen to the demons if they clothed in Bush's name. WHAT STUPID MORONS!!!
