What does the balance sheet say for the pension fund assets vs. liabilities? What are the future projections on the balance sheet? What is the opportunity cost of moving money into the pension fund where it is less liquid, compared to putting the money elsewhere? How does this decision on where to put money affect future profitability? How does the their sale of Jaguar and Land Rover affect their pension fund decisions?
Statistics without analysis are worthless. Answer these questions and then we can actually make a judgement about whether Ford is making the right decisions.
