Default Ford going under?

With GM filing bankruptcy today, do you think Ford is close behind? Are you sure Ford isn't taking hits in sales and are just keeping it quiet?

HAHA...

If Ford was even in half as much trouble as GM the media would be all over it. It does not take "keeping it quiet" to attempt to hide sales numbers. Keep up with Dow Jones or NASDAQ? If Ford stock was tanking but no word officially from HQ in press conferences, than yes I would say they might be keeping it quiet. Ford stock has only fluctuated slightly over the last 30 days. Granted it is nowhere near as high as it was in 2006 but there is no steady downward trend. GM stock was down to $.26 per share in the last 48hrs.

Not to sound like a dick but just pointing out the facts.

Ok now.... back to the topic.

It's good to see a car company with there head on straight.. I mean keeping all under wraps is a great idea. Even if there product isn't that great, I commend them for running there company right and not asking for a handout in public.
