Who wants to buy a car from a company that could be out of business next year?
Ford's stock price is holding fairly steady (at about $8. per share) but institutional investors are very worried about the Ford stock they now hold. If they begin to sell off, Ford is finished, as the smaller investors will panic and everyone will try to sell, killing the price of the stock, which would be fatal for the company.
If this is a way for Ford to 'gain business', it's sure a strange method of doing so, as their sales are down 20%. Maybe Ford needs a better idea.

Its the old theory make them think your weak when your strong. Do you think ford could afford to spend billions developing the ford gt if they were going out of buisness. or even cars like the svt cobra. ford has had the number one selling pickup 30 years running. dont believe everything you hear my friend. Ive worked for ford I know how things are going. Same thing goes for gm. its all hype. It pushes americans into buying domestic to protect our economy
