> This achievement easily tops the previous record high of $76.1 billion for shares of Ford in 1999, according to data from the Center for Research in Security Prices. Worth noting that Ford went on to fall from $35/share in 1999 to less than $5/share in 2009, a multi-year, grinding decline of over 80%. It did hold up pretty well during the '00 recession before imploding. The consumer is always the last to get the economic memo.
