Amazing how the pendulum swings. My grandparents grew up in the depression era, and flat out refused to have any money in the stock market. The only investment they did was with CDs, but that is when the mortgage interest rates were like 14%. Now with the mortgage backed bonds and mixing in sub prime and top tier borrowers, CDs have become a joke. I can see a full swing back to conservative investing. Honestly it's what the nation needs. Ever wonder why Wall Street took off in 90s? That's when a lot of the depression era people were dying off and old money was set lose. The boomers swallowed the Wall Street shill hook, line, and sinker to get 3000 sqft homes with culdusacs and tennis courts. Accruing wealth with no work has a quick experation.
You mean keep your money out of the Ford credit union or w/e you guys get? Why would you keep your money out of a normal federally insured bank? If all the normal banks collapse having money at home isn't going to help. . .
I have mixed feelings on this. Ford has the solutions to their problems, but eat cake instead of vegetables.
Pre Mulally majority of employees afraid to speak out when they saw waste, abuse, and foolish processes. During Mulally employees started to speak up and recommend improvements and cost savings. Post Mulally back to employees being afraid.
There are some employees who always speak up and advocate for doing the right. Unfortunately those are the employees the LL3-LL6 target for SRD. Because of this the employees who could save Ford stay silent.
Here is an proposal a coworker thought of. Ford should pay SRD a consultants fee to Identify the wasteful processes, wasteful employees, and leaders with counterproductive behaviors. Not sure if SRD would want to help Ford, but a one time 1k payment to each SRD could save millions. The SRD know the information.
Although COVID-19 set off our current recession, it was the indulgence of the 1 percent built into the 2008 rescue that is responsible for the depth and severity of our current economic crisis. Without guidance, money was poured into the financial system. Not surprisingly, it blossomed alongside the mutually reinforcing dynamic of artificially inflated stock prices and ballooning corporate debt.
In 2009, the average American company owed $2 of debt for every $1 in earnings. Today may 2020, the average firm carries net debt to EBITDA of 3 to 1, and many firms — like Ford Motor, CarMax, Harley-Davidson, and General Motors — carry ratios ranging from 8 to 1, to as high as 15 to 1. Boeing, a special case because of its 737 MAX crisis, carries a ratio of 37 to 1.
Corporate executives like a rising stock price because compensation packages are both tied to stock performance and almost always include some payment in company stock, so the higher the stock price, the higher the executives’ payout. IS A FRAUD !!! Ford Motor Company is only a Penny Stock!!!! NO 4$ ,NO 5$ is a Penny only !!!
SELL YOUR STOCK AND KEEP MONEY AT HOME !!!ALL RICH PEOPLE ARE BUYING GOLD NOW . THRE WAS A SHIPMENT OF GOLD FROM UK TO US DURING THIS LOCKDOWN! DID YOU KNOW THAT! THEY KEEP GOLD IN SAFE DEPOSITS!!!
Hertz was owned by Ford in the summer of 1994 when police pursued O.J. Simpson in a white Bronco SUV for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. As a Buffalo Bills running back two decades earlier, Simpson raced through airports and past children screaming “Go, O.J., go!” on his way into the company’s rental cars.
Private Equity Era
While Hertz was by some measures slipping in the rental industry pecking order, it was still earning tidy profits for an otherwise struggling Ford. The automaker sold the company in 2005 to two private equity firms and Merrill Lynch & Co.’s buyout unit for about $15 billion.
There was a spell at that time !!!
You will go bankrupt FORD!
And is happen now!
There are Accounting Fraud !!!!The Story of FORD Going Bust will be written now!
Called "The Way Forward," the plan calls for cutting up to 30,000 jobs and closing 14 plants by 2012, Ford said. "The Way Forward plan is pretty strong medicine. Cost-cutting alone isn't going to rescue us. Incremental change isn't going to help."
Ford said he was focused on building a new organization that was more nimble and less bureaucratic and better able to respond to changes in the market. "The motor company no longer had the luxury of relying on multi-year cycle plans," he said.
"The first thing we have to do is get honesty on the table, honesty about our competitive position, the strength or lack thereof of our products, the robustness or lack thereof of our processes and really deal with each other with true honesty," Ford said.

Is Ford Motor Company At Risk Of Becoming A Penny Stock?
A History Of Missteps
This latest recalls fall in line with previous missteps by the company that resulted in more recalls. Last December the company recalled more than half a million 2017-2019 Ford Super Duty SuperCrew vehicles for “fire dangers”. The company also recalled 2017-2019 Ford F-250, -350, and -450 Super Duty vehicles for unintended tailgate openings.
Last April saw a recall of some 327k 2015-2019 F-150’s and 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks equipped with engine block heaters to make repairs from a prior recall in December 2018. This was when Ford recalled nearly 900,000 trucks for fire risks associated with the engine block heater. Last February, the company recalled almost 1.5 million 2011-2013 F-150 trucks because of a possible transmission problem.
