With Shares of GM stock trading at 54 year lows, there's renewed talk about GM being in a slide it can't stop. I won't go that far. But this week could go down as one of the toughest in the company's 100 years.
So, the contrarian in me is wondering if it's a smart move for people to give up on GM? The company has plenty of reasons for people to be optimistic. Its latest models (The Chevy Malibu, Buick Enclave, Cadillac CTS) show that it's getting its act together on the product side. On the corporate side, it's moving quickly to shift production from trucks/SUVs to cars/crossovers and don't forget, in 2010, GM will cut it's costs dramatically.

They're giving up on GM for a whole host of reasons: inability to make money in North America, brands that many believe should be killed (HUMMER and Buick), and the feeling that GM vehicles still don't compete with Toyota. You may or may not buy those beliefs either for or against GM.
