There would be declines and there would be other declines in affiliated companies but a lot of it honestly has been seen as "coming" for a while. Only a very, very foolish business owner or investor would be so Polyannaish about GM as to think this was going to end "just fine" and take no action to prepare for a complete evaporation of that market segment.
I agree, Jeff...the market is pretty skilled at anticipating.
