    Ford Zooms Past Earning Estimates

      ...$801 million in Earnings...

    Ford reported first quarter operating earnings of $801m, up $160m over the same quarter last year.  The company says that it expects this quarter to be the strongest quarter of the year due to seasonal factors and major product launches later this year.  However, the company says it still expects to finish 2019 better than 2018.

    Outside of North America, Ford is still losing money, but those losses are shrinking.  Ford recently announced a restructuring plan for Europe that included over 6,000 layoffs. 

    Also in the earnings report, Ford revealed that the company is subject to a criminal investigation by the Justice Department due to its emissions certifications. We recently reported that Ford had launched its own internal investigation into its emissions certification process

    Ford's stock rose more than 6% in premarket trading.

    • Styling reminds of a mix of the new Defender with a ‘70s IH Scout.  Simple and clean.  
    • There are different stock price patterns toward the end.  They can just drift downward exponentially.  Sometimes, they enjoy some weird upward ticks, and then drop.  I'm not the biggest believer in efficient markets and some geek PhDs in econ/finance study them, but they probably have to give props to market efficiency so they don't rock the boat.  I wonder how many academics think otherwise. TSLA is not a value stock, so people who aren't really, really financially comfortable should just stay away from it.   The Enron thing was mind boggling ... the flow chart of how they did this was mind boggling, as in overly complex.  There's an interesting movie called "The Smartest Guys in the Room" which we watched in a night class I took.  The head perpetrator has an MBA from Northwestern.  Of all the firms who recruited undergrads from the business school, Arthur Andersen was by far the most arrogant.  (Not enough time and space for details.)  I was actually pleased that they bit the dust and that they were the sacrificial lamb for reform.
    • Today is this individual's birthday. With this birthday, she now qualifies for reduced price deals at Denny's and many fast food restaurants.  I wonder if she has ever set foot in a fast food joint. Interestingly enough, she is attending the Pope's funeral today.   She's looking very "angular" in this photo. 
    • It means something in advertising and the Optiq is like a 0-60 in 60 seconds car, which is fine for 90% of buyers but you have to have that 500 hp option for a 4 second car. And I get that all these EV's are fast, but all these Chinese EV's are doing self driving and crazy horsepower or they can double as a boat or jump over speed bumps or some other crazy thing so you have be able to complete with them in Asia.  And in the USA, Cadillac has to compete with the Germans who all do performance.
    • I'd say Buick interiors are more Hyundai/Kia level.  Yes they are better than Chevy, but Chevy has historically had bad interiors. The new X3 interior is a design mess, but probably still better than anything GM has near that price.  BMW outsold Cadillac and Buick combined last year in the US.  Despite Cadillac's EV resurgence that I think is going pretty well, they still have a long way to go.   GMC to Chevy is Jeep to Dodge, basically the same, a little more trucky and less brand image stigma.
