Of course that is just my opinion, and is not a hard and fast rule by any stretch...in general a dividend is still a good thing to have.

Yeah, I know high-tech and biotech are two in particular that are a little more aggressive in reinvesting - I took a couple classes in project entrepreneurship and it talked about this. I like to have a portfolio of both, although the concept of 0% dividend still makes me a little uneasy, but it works.
Found this too,

Rod Lache, the Deutsche analyst, cut his 12-month price target on GM to $0, bringing it down from $4, and issued a “sell” recommendation. GM’s shares slumped to $3.02 in early trading, their lowest level since 1946, although they edged up again to close at $3.30, down $1.06 on the day.

Mr Lache said: “Even if GM succeeds in averting a bankruptcy, we believe that the company’s future path is likely to be bankruptcy-like.”
Thats really harsh, though I for one hope GM doesn't get a bail out. At some time, GM is going to die and they already got their 2nd chance in 2003. Just let it go already.
Table 5 - can you go more into detail about why you like LEA? I mean, their balance sheet looks really good against their market cap, but at the same time, I don't really know who their list of customers are nor is that public info; without that, its really tough to make future projects unless there is something I don't know.
