GM Cannot Fail!

The market tanked over 400 points today. What does it mean when the rest of the market tanks when GM's stock goes up? Just wondering.

The birth of my economics blog

I have decided to start a blog in order for me to reveal my thinking on important and sometimes unimportant issues. Please feel free to make any comments that you see fit given that you can do so in an inoffensive manner. I have nothing specifically that I wish to write as of right now, but there are many things on my mind related to the political and economic situation that I'm sure I will be sharing in the coming days. Welcome!
