One year of tracking the AR Index and it might be useful to look at where we are and where we've been to try and figure out where we're going.

Things are looking up lately with big moves by Toyota and Ford more than counteracting the continued slide of GM. Toyota is up 23% over the last two weeks while Ford is up a fantastic 54% in the same period. The uncertainty about how the future of GM will take shape drove their shares down 37%.

Gas and oil prices are seemingly not of the verge of doing what they did this time last year, and most of the fear seems to have been shaken out of the stock market in general. We're not back to where we want to be just yet, but we're certainly on our way.
