Actually, in all seriousness, I was mulling over getting some Ford (F) stock. Goldman, Citi, and Bear have all upgraded it...and while Ford is in deep doo-doo, they have a lot of stuff they can spin off, a healthy model lineup, and as far as a downside, how low can it go---worst case, you lose $8/share. I wonder if a junior partnership with a Chinese partner might be the ticket. If that happens the market might like what they see.

PS I own no auto stocks at this time, nor do I know anyone who works for Ford, nor am I in the securities business.
