Jane, you ignorant slut.

Why don't you make your analogy more precise, and fast forward 30 years after henry ford when there were 15,000 automobile companies in the US- none of which were making a profit, and ALL EXCEPT FOR 3 OF WHICH would be out of business within a decade.

MR. OHIO EXPRESS AUTO:
"Lookee here, I'm just like henry ford, except I'm going to give you a 200% return on your money in less than a year! We just got a STRONG BUY rating! *" (* denotes underwriting relationship with the company)

MR. SCAM-AUTO:
"We plan to give our cars away, but we'll paint advertisements on the side so we'll be ROLLING in the dough! Can you spare a dime?"

MR. 14,999th AUTO COMPANY .com
"Of course I'm different than all the rest. We lose money on every sale, but we are located in the Canary Islands so we dont have to pay taxes! Also, we just changed our ticker symbol to XLA, so you know we're legitimate!"
