Ronald Muhlenkamp, portfolio manager of the Muhlenkamp fund (MUHLX), believes a 5% savings rate by American consumers will "become the new norm," as opposed to the zero savings rate a year ago, and he says investors need to find the areas the public is shifting to in this new age of thrift. "They aren't buying cars, but they are buying tires" for their old ones, he says. So Muhlenkamp bought Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT) in April at 7. The stock is at 12-plus, but he would hold at this level.

Five industrial companies on Credit Suisse's short list -- Ryder System (R), Ashland (ASH), Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT), Eastman Chemical (EMN) and PPG Industries (PPG) -- could have pensions that are less than 80% funded for 2008, the firm says. Shortfalls of such magnitude could, in some cases, require additional contributions -- and entail costs.

From a recent Mad Money show: "No, no. Goodyear should be going up but the car business is so horrible, I'm not going there."

Goodyear Tire, a victim of a weak U.S. auto market, is down 28% this year, to 19. The tire maker trades for seven times projected 2009 profits of $3.18 a share.

The July 25 calls were extremely active in Goodyear Tire (GT) explains Pete Najarian. I think options traders are playing off GM and Ford sales. I know that sounds counter-intuitive because car sales were dismal in North America, but they were decent overseas.
