I wouldn't go by that. Over the past 4 weeks GM stock has dropped 21% and Ford stock has dropped 12% over the same timeframe. Both are losing market share to foreign competitors and both are weighed down by under funded pensions and rising health care costs. If you go by "company quality ratios", Ford is in better shape than GM and has a better earnings outlook. If your judging Ford by their stock price don't. Ford has over three times the outstanding shares that GM does. If Ford were to do a 3-1 reverse stock split their stock would be trading higher than GM and they would still have more outstanding shares. The bottom line is both companies are in trouble.
