Ford, Boeing and Irony

| | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (0) |
777-200.jpgFord Motor Company has a market cap of $3.01 billion at 3:31 PM. A bit of afternoon blogger snark:

That means you could buy Ford for about 12 of the aircraft Alan Mullaly helped to invent.

For a point of comparison, that's 20% of the 777s that Emirates operates. How's that for irony?

If you think that's funny, look at some airline stocks and their market cap:
UAUA (United Airlines): $970M
DAL (Delta): $2.17B
CAL (Continental): $1.17B
LUV (Southwest): $5.74B
LCC (US Airways): $503M
AMR (American): $1.93B

And, Mullaly left Boeing, and his 787, for that. He must have known something (2006) was amiss.
