Ford a Likely Survivor of the Auto Industry Crisis

Ford definitely seems to be the strongest of the three right now. Despite the positive PR from them opting it, it's saying something about the company-that they are possibly in a better situation than the other 2. While all three are down, F seems to be the least fluctuating and their sentiment is the highest (www.predictwallstreet....). I think investors are feeling more optimistic about F than GM, but that isn't really saying much either.

Ford Shareholders Face High Potential for Pain

Agreed, hernje. Companies like Ford and Chrysler began to focus on quantity not quality- an mantra that is inevitably destructive to the consumer. I think a lot of these consumers have woken up to realize that "Buying Ameircan" isn't all that patriotic. On the other hand, Ford's restructing plan does seem to be moving forward, making the best of the situation at hand. Under Mulally, F has been able to make changes at a swifter pace. Indeed this stock is highly speculative, but timing could be everything here. Just a week ago sentiment was extremeley bearish (predictwallstreet.com/...) and has now shifted into bull territory. I overlay the quote on the sentiment graph at PredictWallStree.com to to see if sentiment is preceding the price or vice versa. F price dropped this morning but it seems sentiment has barely budged. Perhaps consumers are keeping high hopes for this beloved American company. I'm interested to see where sentiment is at the end of the week.
