feinanddandy, I will do my best to try to help you understand my statement.
My original post #15178:
"We just had the best 4 week run in the DOW since 1933. Despite two (actually it was four) Press releases, CYPW went down a penny.
now invest: Hopefully you've invested in this incredible bear market rebound that we're in. There are huge profits to be made here. Don't put false optimism ahead of facts and logic."
Pay attention to the words, "bear market". A Bear Market is a market condition in which the prices of securities are falling or are expected to fall. This may explain why GM and other companies haven't prospered from the bear Market rebound.

And as I regret correcting you, the Stock Market had its WORST run two weeks ago, not sure where you were when that happened, but it fell to 7200 & change on March 23rd.
The fact is that on March 23rd the DJIA rose 497.48 to close at 7,775.48, up 6.84%, fifth largest point gain in history.
