Not to mention, when Ford hit $10-12 two years ago there was buzz on the street that the Ford family was going to take the company private. The market cap was under what people thought the family could leverage and some investment bankers (remember those!?!?!?) were rumoured to be talking to Bill, Edsel and the rest. Geez, if $10.00 made the deal possible, wouldn't $1.90 be more do-able?
And if they didn't need to answer to a bunch of fund managers and such, and if every night the stock price wasn't dragged across the evening news, perhaps could the company get on with building and selling product?????
