Ford (Bill, that is) sells Ford (shares, that is)

Does Bill Ford know something the rest of us don't? If not, why did he elect to sell one million shares of FoMoCo, or about one-sixth of his total common stock holdings in the family business?

So, yeah, he made about $5.05 million from the sale, but you can't help but wonder if there might be something else going on here. Ya, gotta love conspiracy theories...

Full story here and here.

Oh boy, bad sign. Real bad.

If he believes in the company, he should be *buying* more shares, not selling.

Because he is running out of money to pay off his debts?

If I were him, I'd sell too.

He sold his house last year, didn't he?

That Ford is doomed? Oh wait. I think the rest of us knew that. Maybe he's a slow learner.
