31. I never said that Ford is trying to make its stock look better
so that its own bottom line is better. Most companies these days are seeking to make their stock perform better for its shareholders so that upper management gets their nice fat bonuses. Its all about stock ownership, not company worth.

That is why they are doing this short sighted sale to high risk buyers. In the short run, shareholders are happy and management is happy. Ford itself is shooting itself in the foot.

In the US there seems to be an industry wide view to looking for the short run stockholder profit while long run research, development and production gets shafted. Which is probably why many feel US cars are "Junk".
