What Ford's Huge Miss Shows Us

Today, analysts Austin Smith and Eric Bleeker discuss what to take away from Ford's earnings report. The company saw strong domestic demand and weak results from Europe, but with a quality CEO and the right pieces in place, it should award patient investors with a solid turnaround.
