GM said in announcing the spending that more details on the new engine and automatic transmission would be coming later. It likely would be the first 10-speed transmission.
While 6, 7 and 8 speeds increasingly in common use to improve fuel mileage, Jeep and Land Rover just rolled out the first production 9-speed automatics. GM will see that and raise it one with its new gearbox.
The plants getting the upgrades are located in Detroit, Flint and Romulus, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio and Bedford, Ind. and GM says the spending also will create or retain about 1,000 jobs.
While the headline items are the new, more fuel-efficient V-6 and 10-speed transmission, the updates also will support production of an existing 6-speed transmission and pay for plant improvements, including a new paint shop and logistics center, GM says.

3. The flash euro area PMIs, due Thursday, stand out as the most market sensitive economic data from the euro area. Although the sentiment has been running ahead of real sector data, slight positive growth has replaced the recent contraction. Next Wednesday, the ECB is expected to unveil the broad details of the Asset Quality Review (AQR). This is not a stress test. It is a preliminary review of the books of the banks for which it will soon have supervisory responsibilities. Definitions of risk-weighted assets various in the euro area and some uniformity is a necessary condition of a banking union. New stress tests will be conducted next year.

Question: I like the H2O business. I��e owned American Water Works Co Inc (NYSE: AWK) for eons. Is there any compelling reason to own more than one water utility? At what point does is there no marginal benefit added? I do like Connecticut Water Service Inc (NSDQ: CTWS) and York Water Co (NSDQ: YORW) as slow, consistent growers.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
But lately, prices of existing TIPS have plunged, and that has sent real yields back into positive territory. TIPS with a 10-year maturity yield about 0.5%, while 20-year TIPS pay almost 1% above inflation and 30-years are yielding about 1.25% in real terms. Similarly, the TIPS ETF iShares Barclays TIPS Bond (NYSEMKT: TIP ) has lost about 7.5% of its share-price value since the beginning of May, but its average real yield to maturity has gotten back to the break-even point.
