Kirk Kerkorian, billionaire and elder statesman of takeovers, said he will make a tender offer for another 20 million shares of Ford (F). The price will be $8.50 a share.
His timing is odd. Ford rose to $8.76 last week after posting a surprise profit. It dropped the next day to $7.50 after it was downgraded by brokers. Analysts still see several quarters of losses and thought the stock had run too high too fast.
Kerkorian appears to think that is bunk.
