Everyone was surprised when ford posted an unexpected $997 million as their third-quarter profit. This is said to be the
first profitable quarter in North America in more than four years. All though this is an improvement, Ford did not indicate whether a fourth quarter or full year profit is
expected. They have not posted an out look for 2010 because of the recent economic uncertainty.Ford was greatly helped
by the governments cash-for-clunkers program. Unfortunately, despite improvements Ford remains heavily in
debt.
