Ford's Global Sales Help it Outpace U.S. Competitors

Ford has put the pedal to the metal on the sales front, with rising numbers in places like China. That has helped translate into share price gains for the automaker in 2014, but Ford -- just like its biggest U.S. competitor, General Motors -- has struggled with recalls, with some coming last month in China, where the company has been pushing more automobiles. Ford is TheStreet's Chart of the Day, but not if some industry analysts have anything to say about it -- they're reducing their targets, worried the car company could struggle. Next, it could face more competition from Tesla, which could deepen its Toyota ties.
