General Motors Makes Headway in China; Special Report by Leading Financial e-Letter Investment Contrarians

General Motors Makes Headway in China; Special Report by Leading Financial e-Letter Investment Contrarians

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 12, 2012

In a recent Investment Contrarians article, editor George Leong claims that the Chinese love their GM cars, as the brand is considered to be prestigious and much more favorable than the Chinese-made clunkers. Leong states GM is a major player in China, noting the company had three of its vehicles on the list of the top 10 selling cars in China in 2011, with its Buick Excelle as the top seller and Chevrolet Sail in second.

GM sold over nine million vehicles in 2011 and accounted for 11.9% of the global market share, reports Leong. In the first quarter of 2012, GM sold 2.3 million vehicles and trailed the 2.5 million sold by global rival Toyota. In the U.S., GMs market share fell to 17.5% in the first quarter, the lowest U.S. share in about 90 years.

The worlds automakers know that, to grow, you need a presence in Chinas auto sector, whether in a venture with a Chinese company or as a standalone manufacturer of vehicles, states Leong.

According to the Investment Contrarians editor, GM is focused on China, as it feels the steady rise in the countrys middle class will drive the demand for cars. The automaker announced plans to invest a minimum of $ 5.0 billion in China in an effort to reach a sales target of five million vehicles by 2015, he reports.

These are lofty ambitions for GM, states Leong, adding he would be impressed if the company could reach this target.

GM could turn out to be a buy low/sell high opportunity, according to Leong.

There are numerous ways to play the Chinese auto sector, concludes Leong, suggesting investors buy an auto company, like GM, with exposure to China.

Investment Contrarians is a daily financial e-letter dedicated to helping investors make money by going against the herd mentality.

The editors of Investment Contrarians believe the stock market and the economy have been propped up since 2009 by artificially low interest rates, never-ending government borrowing and an unprecedented expansion of our money supply. The official unemployment numbers do not reflect people who have given up looking for work and are thus skewed. They believe the official inflation numbers are also not reflective of todays reality of rising prices.

After a 25- to 30-year down cycle in interest rates, the Investment Contrarians editors expect rapid inflation caused by huge government debt and money printing will eventually start us on a new cycle of rising interest rates.
