The markets say otherwise. The financial picture abruptly changed over a year ago and throughout the following 11 months and while BMW stock lost 47% of its value, from 123.75 to 66, the PR continued unabated about how "everything's great!" (just like it does to this moment). At the moment BMW stock is still down ~40% from it's high last summer and still stuck in a solid downtrend. After breaking the simple 20-day low off the all-time high, it's never looked back. Even with it's dividend against the position, it's proved to be a fantastic short sale for the past 14 months for those trading EU stocks (not me...unfortunately).

But of course this is all invalid too if we listen to the spewing PR on this forum. Nothing matters as BMW is "perfect" -- the rest of the world just doesn't understand. Just like the slow realization that they have the wrong product set for the market of today.... you want us to believe that's not true either. Everything is fine. According to this logic, the market for BMW stock is wrong too, the market for BMW cars simply has it wrong also, and every single 3-4 decade long time BMW enthusiast is of course absolutely wrong in their constructive criticism also as they have been instructed repeatedly. Stubborn folks they are apparently. Similarly, the market for BMW stock is one stubborn beast as it refuses to comply with this wonderful, glowing PR.
