    Toyota's woes

    If it isn't one thing to worry about, it's another.

    Toyota's electronic systems fouled up by cosmic rays??

    Federal regulators are examining the possibility that cosmic ray radiation from space could be at least partially to blame for Toyota’s recent mechanical defects.

      Toyota makes good cars. The auto acceleration problems were unproven. Computer checks showed that the cars involved in the accidents did not have their brakes applied. Even so, the amount of claims put in were a small percentage of the cars actually sold.

      In fact, When I was stopped for speeding in my Solara Convertible, I explained to the officer that it accelerated by itself!

      But cosmic rays make more sense.

      APKT came out with some less than appealing earnings and took a 13% haircut. May even be more this week. Take it as an opportunity to buy. The company will still meet its annual projection and may be a target for a bigger tech company. I would look to buy.

        Toyota Is Still Great

        Toyota's big mistake was with the Union out in California. Apparently if you don't play ball will the unions , Obama and the administration comes down on you like a ton of bricks........it's all political. Toyota still builds a great car!
