Hi Dave,

Stuck in Appleton doing work so not doing any surfing during the market. Restaurant business is huge here. Waits in line for lunch at Olive Garden, Baker Square, Chilis. Haven't looked at the sector in a while.

Jack

F is in bad, bad shape IMO. Not only do they have nothing except trucks to lure anyone into their showrooms, 0.0% interest is going to take out Ford Motor Credit too (a healthy contributor to Ford's bottom line in years past). I also heard they were axing the matching 401(k) contributions to employees in this latest round of "cuts" in an effort the boost the bottom line. Bad move. Unhappy employees mean quality goes to hell.

Management is totally to blame. IMO, 10 years ago Ford was way ahead of GM and Chrysler in innovation and quality and now they have nothing. It will take 5+ years for Ford to get back to where they should be if management starts making the "right" decisions now.

I see F headed to the single digits before heading back to $30. SELL! <g>
