ouch, at least they still made a profit from their other businesses.

 

Paging Big Al's Z to thread 310793!

 

ahahaha...yeah I saw it. No big deal. They dont have any good product out there to make any money. Mustang and F150. The rest are DOA.

 

They launched 5 new products, Thats where there profits went. I know all to well about this. I knew for sometime these new launches would kill profit sharing.

And FWIW-They would'nt looks so bad if they would not forcast so f#%@*@# high.

 

Man i worked for a company like that, everyutime i heard the forecasts i would cringe knowing my profit sharing just went downt he toilet. We would come within like .5% of our forecasts (virtually nothing when we were seeing year over year gross profit increases of liek 80%) and then the CEO etc. would freak out and the stock would drop like a rock and our profit sharing woudl suck. Always made me so friggin angry!

At any rate 609 mil. ain't nothin after 5 product launches, and that's just one segment.

 

5? 5 new cars? Ford broke the bank on 5 new cars? WOW. Thats a stretch.

GM is launching 2 dozen new cars...and they get torn apart becaue of there low profits.

 

so its about to jump up, or go down more?

 

Come on BIG AL. 5 for just theFord brand not all of Ford Motor Company.

Tug on your shoulders buddy. (JOKE!)

GM needs to learn how to bring cars to market at the right time....

 

Yeah, it was a bad time to relese....im not even gunna go into it cause that statement requires more then 1 post.

ford losing over half a billion because of 5 cars is BS!!
