#2852 RE: gedden #2851

fin liste, det var mange af dem jeg tjente en masse på i 2006 og heldigvis fik solgt

dengang var deres PE meget højere og nu er indtjeningen fortsat med at stige for de fleste selskaber medens kurserne som oftest er halveret eller mere

det er oplagt at det er en købschance, men det har det jo været længe

men med det globale investeringsboom især i asien og hele regionen mellemøsten/afrika(rusland-cis mm og latinamerika

er det underligt at de kan falde så meget

især nåe man nu ved med alle mine data for bilsalget verden over at det globale bilsalg er inde i et historisk boom og

lige så med investeringerne globalt set i infrastruktur til alt muligt

nej det er et mystikus komplexus, at det kan ske at de er faldet så meget

men man kan roligt købe nogle flere af dem, de kan ikke falde meget mere

Toyota reports 28 percent drop in fiscal fourth quarter profit


TOKYO (AP) -- Toyota's profit for the fiscal fourth quarter dropped 28 percent from the previous year as a strengthening yen and lagging North American sales chipped away at the Japanese automaker's earnings.

Toyota, the world's second largest automaker after General Motors Corp., said Thursday its net profit fell to 316.8 billion yen ($3.05 billion; 1.98 billion euros) for the January-March quarter, down from 440.1 billion yen in the same period the previous year.

Toyota Motor Corp. is forecasting even tougher times ahead amid growing worries about a U.S. slowdown, volatile currency fluctuations and soaring material and energy costs.

"We are facing a severe business environment," Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe said. "Toyota considers this headwind as a valuable opportunity to turn it into a more flexible and stronger company."

The maker of the Prius gas-electric hybrid and Camry sedan is expecting to post a 27 percent plunge in profit for the fiscal year ending March 2009 at 1.250 trillion yen ($12.0 billion; euro7.8 billion), it said.

For the fiscal year through March 2008, Toyota racked up record profit of 1.72 trillion yen ($16.54 billion; euro10.72 billion) -- an increase of 4.5 percent over the previous year -- as strong earlier performance offset the downturn in the fourth quarter.

The pessimistic outlook for the current year underlines how even Toyota -- with its small cars popular for their mileage -- hasn't emerged unscathed from the risks of a global slowdown and the U.S. credit crunch.

Like other major automakers, Toyota has been gradually switching its focus to China and other emerging markets. Toyota, however, still makes about a third of its sales in the key North American market.
