On the subject of marketing, The Motley Fool runs a good item on Ford's(F Quote - Cramer on F - Stock Picks) apparent desperation. As if things couldn't get worse (no, they are not bringing back the Pinto, equipped with a Sony battery), Ford is no offering 0% six-year financing to anyone, no matter how lame their credit history. Holy repossession.
Toyota(TM Quote - Cramer on TM - Stock Picks), meanwhile, seems to be developing a slight case of Ford-itis. It's not offering free financing to every mongrel who writes checks in disappearing ink, but facing recent recalls and quality problems, Toyota has delayed some new models. Read the latest on this curious turn on the front page of today's Wall Street Journal. Most of all, have a good weekend. And remember: As the witches told Macbeth, beware the battery.
