Temporarily shutting down production is making investors fearful long-term. It started with the Mustang assembly plant on Oct 11. Then Monday we find out the F-150 plant in Kansas City is being shut down for a week. Then we hear production of the Escape and Lincoln MCK in Louisville is being discontinued for the next 2 weeks.
Add in some announced layoffs, and sure, people are irked. But what would you rather have them do? Continue production in a market that's saying "Hold on for a minute"?
Let's see what happens after the elections. If everything remains halted deeper into November, then I'll be more concerned.
