Anyone want to put some money into GM or Ford?

From today's Wall Street Journal:

Corrections & Amplifications
May 8, 2006; Page A2

THE MARKET IMPLIED probability of default for General Motors Corp. in three years, as compiled by J.P. Morgan, is 51%, while Ford Motor Co.'s default risk in three years is 43%. Based on incorrect information from J.P. Morgan, a Marketplace article Friday gave the GM figure as 34%, making it appear that Ford had a higher default risk than GM.

Oh, boy, I bet this correction makes the Ford people feel a whole lot better.
