3,500 to 365,000 from the prior week which was revised to 368,500 from

I'll second Kiwi's opinion from last evening - an up day.

Anyone have thoughts on what can possibly get Ford moving upward? We
pretty much got left behind during the recent rally. March sales
numbers did not do much. I guess the next chance to get us out of
this funk is Q1 earnings which should be good. Possibility of another
credit rating increase (last one in Oct 2011) I think is low even
though I think Ford deserves investment grade.

I believe European sales has a great deal to do with it. As Europe
turns a corner I look forward to seeing if Ford follows.
