CHUCK JAFFE
Stupid Investment of the Week
Commentary: Ford and GM shares more likely to skid than make a U-turn=20
By Chuck Jaffe, MarketWatch
Last update: 3:55 p.m. EDT July 25, 2008
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- America loves a good turnaround story, the one =
where the hero goes off track, gets down in the dumps and then finds a =
way to rebound.

It makes for good movies, but it seldom makes for good investments.=20

And in the case of Ford Motor Co. (F) and General Motors Corp. (GM) , =
two American corporate titans where everyone is rooting for something =
good to happen, it also makes for a Stupid Investment of the Week.=20

Clearly, selecting these two automakers this far into the cycle seems a =
bit like piling on -- there is no joy in watching the big domestic =
automakers implode -- but the truth is that the companies' most recent =
bad news has incited some investors to believe the worst may be over.=20

Moreover, when brand-name stocks like these get beaten to a pulp, =
average investors sometimes confuse price with real value, and start =
believing that any long-time survivor is automatically cheap when its =
stock price is near or in single digits.=20

Stupid Investment of the Week showcases the conditions and =
characteristics that make a security less than ideal for average =
investors, in the hope that spotlighting troubled thinking in one case =
will make it easier for investors to root out trouble elsewhere. The =
column is not intended as an automatic sell signal, although it's hard =
to believe that long-time shareholders in Ford and GM will have big =
capital gains to worry about if they bail out now, as both stocks have =
been in the dumps for ages.=20

While it's easy to see how far the mighty have fallen -- both have shed =
enough value to have lost their megacap status and fallen into the =
midcap range based on current prices -- it's also easy to see why =
there's some measure of optimism about these stocks for the long haul.=20

Engine trouble

For Ford, which on Thursday took a $9 billion quarterly loss due mostly =
to a huge slug of write-downs, a positive future hinges on plans to =
double the production of hybrid vehicles in 2009, plus the conversion of =
three truck factories into small-car production facilities. Sales of the =
Ford Focus show that the company can make a popular, fuel-efficient =
small car, and Ford has a healthy international business.=20

With GM, there's also a good international story to tell. A new labor =
contract promises to make the company more competitive with its foreign =
rivals, more models are achieving 30-miles-plus per gallon of gas in =
highway driving than any other manufacturer, and it has also made what =
some analysts believe are great strides in the hybrid market.=20

In both cases, if the American market would suddenly warm up to the =
domestic manufacturers, it could fire up a recovery. That said, despite =
all signs that the quality problems that plagued the domestic car-makers =
in the 1970s and '80s are long gone, American consumers still haven't =
forgiven those past sins and come back to buying American.=20

The problem is that the good news for each company can be summed up in a =
paragraph, while the bad news would require a book.=20
"These stocks have become classic value traps," says Morningstar analyst =
David Whiston. "There's definitely a scenario where these stocks could =
be worth much more than where they are trading today, but that doesn't =
make that scenario likely right now, and it doesn't make the auto =
companies a good bet. These are still businesses you don't want to own =
right now."=20

Bumpy ride

Rather than rewrite the whole book on the problems with these stocks, =
investors should look at a few hot buttons that trump any buying case.=20

Simply put, no matter how much goodwill a corporate name carries, it's =
hard to buy any stock where the trailing 12 months' diluted earnings per =
share from continuing operations is a negative $82.19 per share and =
where the company's total equity is a negative $41 billion (GM), or to =
invest in a company that has short-term debt of roughly $170 billion =
(Ford).=20

GM's debt issues are such that the stock is owned more by its =
bondholders than its stockholders. That's a dangerous situation, because =
Wall Street has a rich history with companies heading into bankruptcy of =
protecting some interest of the bondholders and leaving the stockholders =
with nothing.=20

And that's all before you factor in the economy, the lending crisis, =
rising gas prices and how they all conspire to continue damping =
bit-ticket sales for a year or more.=20

That's not to say either of the automakers is destined for bankruptcy -- =
I'm decidedly not with the camp that feels such a move is inevitable -- =
but investors still need to be aware; it's entirely possible that this =
story ends up with the companies being recapitalized, the good brand =
names surviving, but the shareholders holding the bag.=20

Having attended college in Michigan with lots of kids whose parents =
worked at the Big Three -- and where the kids frequently hoped that =
would be their path too -- there's no question that plenty of people in =
the past would have told you they would plunk down their life savings to =
buy Ford at $5 a share, or GM in the $10 range.=20

Today, they're looking longingly at the names, but letting some measure =
of goodwill cloud their judgment if they still want to take the ride on =
these auto stocks.=20

"It's just amazing how bad these companies are," says money manager =
Brent Wilsey of Wilsey Asset Management in San Diego. "They're selling =
cars, but not making any profits. There's no cash flow. Everything is =
still stacked up against them. ... We want them to succeed and maybe =
things would be different with a decent economy right now, but a great =
name alone isn't going to cut it. There's no good reason to buy these =
stocks now, and maybe ever."
