So -- that you might think that because of our Bob that would have a chilling effect on auto sales but actually.
Carmakers are making so many more fuel efficient models right now that's not having that impact take a look at that stocks first of all because.
That's what's driving part of what's driving this bull market today -- -- positive auto sales numbers Toyota with a big run up today over 2% that is because.
-- that much better numbers and we thought so -- -- -- but here's a little bearish -- -- news Toyota also doesn't have exposure in Europe.
Take a look at Europe car sales today specifically France which sometimes focus on the US sales we forget that all the rest of the world sells cars to.
Take a look at the impact in the European market.
For example Ford.
January sales in Europe down in new France specifically got 35%.
GM brands down 21% if you just think it was -- Americans not really.
VW down 23% but the positive news.
Is the -- auto sales in the US Toyota was up 26%.
In January Ford up 22%.
GM 16%.
Great great numbers for the US auto makers in a very tough month.
What some people see is a tough month in January but I tell -- things have not slowed down and wants to return where we started back to the stocks.
If you bought -- Stoxx six months ago a lot of people were -- pulling it.
GM is up 43%.
Over the past six months Ford up more than 40% as well and that outstrips even Toyota and Honda.
Auto stocks you should -- bought a doggone it.
