The collective market capitalization lost by the
fabulous five in 2005 is an incredible $31.9 billion, according to a Detroit Free Press article
Saturday.
The biggest losses, of course, were at GM and Ford, at $11.7 billion and $12.6 billion,
respectively. And with no earnings, and little earnings upside, analysts see no reason for stock prices to rise
appreciably, leaving a lot of investors holding big losses.
Telling comparisons: investors value ketchup
maker H.J. Heinz more highly than GM, and video game company Electronic Arts more highly than Ford.
