Tdot, Notice that I said "when Ford reaches its full potential" which means the company would be increasing its earnings not only in Europe and elsewhere, but also in North America where it's already performing well. Even though Ford is performing exceptionally well in North America, the company will continue to improve upon this performance as it nears its full potential. In Europe, the company is losing $2 billion annually and even if it were to reach break-even in the continent, that still adds $2 billion to the company's earnings. Ford has so much room to grow in Asia, South America and Africa that the sky is the limit. It may take the company many years to reach its "full potential" but eventually it will happen.

At the end of the day, one person got in, one person got out, but the outflux is bigger than influx because the market kept going higher.
