Basturd!!!

Just because some of your 401(k) is Ford stock (from your time with Uncle Henry and the company) you think it will tank????

As I told you the other day, when it hits $1.47 I will put all my money (approx. $12.96) into the stock and when it rebounds, I will pay off Lewis ($5,000) and own your car!!!!!!!

See you soon.............

Not to mention, when Ford hit $10-12 two years ago there was buzz on the street that the Ford family was going to take the company private. The market cap was under what people thought the family could leverage and some investment bankers (remember those!?!?!?) were rumoured to be talking to Bill, Edsel and the rest. Geez, if $10.00 made the deal possible, wouldn't $1.90 be more do-able?

And if they didn't need to answer to a bunch of fund managers and such, and if every night the stock price wasn't dragged across the evening news, perhaps could the company get on with building and selling product?????

I have been told for several years that the goal of G.M. and Ford was to break the unions and release themselves from the burden of having to pay employee benefits. Interestingly, G.M. was posting record profits last year worldwide. I don't know about Ford but it would seem with some retooling to use a common chassis (gee, like Toyota) and maybe moving to natural gas (or who knows? natural gas/plug-in hybrid) the market share could be recaptured and at the same time free ourselves from the root cause of alot of our trade deficit/foreign debt. So, perhaps looking down the pipeline of either corporation would tell us what the future holds for either as a good solid investment.
