Hard to find a better performer out of the hole than that old clunker Ford debt:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aReK783UMYp4

Looking back over the cycle we just might be looking at autos over china--certainly the DRYs. Who'd a thunk it Shocked

Ford will get a "bankruptcy for free." Look for most gains vis-a-vis GM/Chrysler (Delphi Visteon) restructure to accrue to Ford. Already got on the bond restructuring wagon.

UK's "cash for clunkers" should help them disproportionately. The debt trusts cannot be tendered....good buys now, better on pullbacks after strong rally.

Morningstar's first impressions on Ford's 1Q earnings:

http://quicktake.morningstar.com/stocknet/san.aspx?id=288422

Quote:
Ford Motor Company F reported first-quarter results Friday that were better than the Street's expectations, which is what we were expecting. The automotive business lost $1.9 billion on a pretax basis, with only South America reporting a profit. Revenue declined about $13.5 billion (38.9%) on a comparable basis. Management still says Ford does not expect to need government loans, but we are not yet convinced the automaker is out of trouble. Still, we are encouraged to see that automotive structural costs declined by $1.9 billion in the quarter and that management expects to reduce these costs by more than the $4 billion goal previously in place for 2009. We also are encouraged by the improvement in Ford's gross cash depletion. Adjusting for the $10.1 billion draw on the line of credit in the first quarter, we calculate that Ford's gross cash declined by $2.2 billion, which is much better than third- and fourth-quarter 2008 declines of $7.7 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. If Ford does not run out of cash before industry volume improves, it will probably be well positioned for strong profits in a few years. We are still concerned, however, that Ford's cash burn will accelerate later this year once production increases for new product launches in the second and third quarters.

Ford sees 14.5 annual rate in '11 which could be setting up some severe upward GDP numbers--if we get there.

Ford's restructuring plan as presented to the Senate Banking Committee. Ford tries to differentiate its liquidity position among its competitors but also actively defends the notion that both GM and Chrysler needs to be bailed out:

ClickonDetroit going undercover on some of Ford's workers. Probably not a good sample of employees, but interesting to watch anyway:
