Yeah, they were falling all over themselves trying to get the bad news out early. Of course all the analysts will now lower expectation just enough so that when they do report, Maria can yell, "Ford Beat The Street!!"

Bingo. Of course, just about everyone (Puplava and most of the present company excluded) will forget that The Street previously said that AOLTimeWarner, Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, et al were going to do quite well and that the only thing that they beat was the worst-case scenario uttered by The Street just before the report.
