Re: BECAUSE OF THE RISING EURO, FORD TRUCKS ARE SELLING LIKE PANCAKES IN EUROPE.
Well there's the cash for clunkers shit so that must have pumped em.
and then again you missed half of the earnings report. They made a lot of cost cutting. That basically means firing people, which means higher unemployment, which fucks the general economy.
Yes individual companies can earn so much when they fire batches of their working forces from the wages their saving (less costs = more money), but it makes things worse for everyone overall since all these people who lost their jobs can't buy as much as they used to, and when they don't companies won't be getting as much revenue as they used to. It is the tragedy of the commons materializing in front of our eyes.
So dance while the music is still going, just make sure there's a chair next to you when it stops.

btw, just wait when chinese cars hit the euro market. The yuan is pegged to the dollar so whenever $ goes down the yuan goes down, so there's no advantage for american prices in that regard, plus they pay their labor a couple of cents per hour.

Wasn't it the grandson or someone in the Ford family who came into the business and fired all the top-level execs and went back to the old way of handling the family business? He got rid of all the greedy bastards who were ruining his family's business and went back to the drawing board,and now they are doing better financially. Heavily medicated for your safety!

Better wake the fuck up America, you're being sold out as cheap labour to the multinationals.
Because the Chinese are rich now, so the world needs a new shithole 2nd world nation for all its textiles and manufacturing... guess who fits the bill?
Your kids will be sewing sneakers for chinese teenagers and getting paid in food stamps, you will be shot and turned into soylent green to exchange for those food stamps.
