No, it's quite true. Do some research and find out.

Ford, a 104-year-old American car manufacturer with a worldwide reputation that has to borrow millions to 'restructure' and use it's factory and office real estate as collateral while rumors float around that they're either about to go bankrupt or will be absorbed by a foreign car company is hardly going to help them 'gain business' or regain the market. 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.
