Ford's Stock Market rating

[John Berger]

This is bad news all the way around, I think. There are alot of people who are paying for the SUV/Firestone tire SNAFU. Looks like Ford is getting hit the hardest.

Ouch. Didn't realize Ford was in such trouble debt wise.

What do you expect from a company that tries to correct their top heavy SUVs with lowering them by letting air out of the tires?

 

[John Berger]

Ford sponsored the premier of 24 last night. They had 4 minutes at the front and about 5 at the back of the show. The rest was commercial free. Illflem is right. This is all fallout from the tire issue. The fact that they tried to blame Firestone didn't help, either. There was culpability all the way around, but Ford made the inflation recommendations.

I have a 1947 Firestone 7. 5hp outboard boat motor. Do you think that it will hurt its selling value? Chris (P. S. , really have one!!)
