Seeking Alpha Article on Ford Forecast Fro 2015 Using I Know First predictive algorithms and recent earning report. The Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is an American multinational automaker that's become a household name, and for due cause. Incorporated in 1903, the company has been selling commercial and luxury cars for quite some time, and has also, on occasion, produced tractors and automotive components. While Ford may well have had some rough patches in 2014, most especially due to its operations in Venezuela and Europe, the company should still be positively considered: Ford's novel market-share- and innovation-oriented leadership, the company's reputation, its focus on muscle car and supercar innovation, its new models in the coming years, and its customer loyalty and safety ratings make Ford fundamentally strong.
