The only good thing about Ford as far as Iā€™m concerned is their high-yielding (junk!) bonds. My senior unsecured Ford Motor Company 8.875% bonds jumped in value today to 95.50 from about mid 80ā€™s. That was more than I ever expected them to jump up to before maturityā€¦ [http://reports.finance.yahoo.com/z2?ce=5515249148511575915548&q=b%3D1%26is%3DFord%26so%3Dd](http://reports.finance.yahoo.com/z2?ce=5515249148511575915548&q=b%3d1%26is%3dFord%26so%3dd) I guess this development had something to do with it? Either way, w00t! It went up from where I bought it at and it paid me interest on time this year again! :gome: ---

taking pleasure in ford doing poorly is a cuntish thing to do. ford losses = fewer jobs. we should be hoping for the prosperity of all companies that employ American workers. ---

Here you go, an honest and up front perspective for you to chew on. [http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/26/news/companies/pluggedin\_taylor\_ford.fortune/index.htm?source=yahoo\_quote](http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/26/news/companies/pluggedin_taylor_ford.fortune/index.htm?source=yahoo_quote) _The lack of pricing power by American producers, brought on by poor quality, unimaginative marketing and sales to rental fleets, cost them nearly $1,000 per car._ That is why they are losing their asses. ---
