heard from guy in finance world: Ford has 30% defaults
their car loan business is approaching bankruptcy
he didnt think Ford would survive thru 2004

all those 0% rate/ 0% down loans to people barely employed showing insecure income has now come back to haunt the firm

they didnt make any money on the sales
now they are losing money on the loans
they have $18 in debt for every $1 in mktcap
they have enough cash for only a few months of debt service
now they announced a 17% cutback in production

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE, DEATH KNELL AROUND THE CORNER
caskets are lined up in the basement corridors

Ford's bankruptcy will shake up the entire US Economic world
