No, it isn't - the need for more funding, coupled with the fact that the bottom on Wall Street may not be as certain as you think, makes this a risky venture. It looks cheap, but there's the potential to lose it all. There are many other battered businesses that are in a much better position (and have much more value) where you can put your $$. It may be an American icon, but if Ford declares bankruptcy in order to restructure their business (which is a likely scenario) shareholders will be the first to lose their money.
