IT'S OK, being successful doesn't matter
[quote name="Rafiki"][quote]Chairman Bill Ford, whose great-grandfather Henry Ford founded both the company and the modern auto industry more than a century ago, said he's not concerned with Ford's loss of the No. 2 position in the market. "Frankly our ranking doesn't matter," he said in a response to a reporter's question Friday. "You've seen companies chase market share with sometimes disastrous results. It's more important for this plan to be based on conservative assumptions."[/quote] <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/news/companies/ford/index.htm?postversion=2006091518">http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/news/companies/ford/index.htm?postversion=2006091518</a> Also, for some reason I like the wording in the article as decribing the announcement of plant closings and wage cuts as "unveiling." It adds an air of excitement and intrigue. "Now let me whisk away the magic cloth and.....SURPRISE! You're poor!"[/quote]
