Yes it was. Out of the 3 auto makers Ford stands to benefit the most. 2 automakers still will be under thumbs of government not just one but two US and Canada. Ford will not be and will continue to stand to profit in market shares and earnings even though Ford was considered slightly disadvantaged because they did not take bailout is untrue now since Ford will be out of debt by end of year and has first dibs with the Unions Ford actually had the upper hand by not taking that bailout. Investors just jittery right now but they must understand that auto industry is picking up and recovering fine. The noise on the market is actually really getting old because in the end the markets trended higher not lower in all this noise months ago. You will not be sorry holding onto Ford. JMHO
