But if you're investing for the long run, it's a great stock pick. A couple days ago, I attempted to count the number of Americans Cars vs. Foreign Car makers on my block. Around 80% of the cars were either Honda or Toyota. Ford is becoming a company of the past, but they aren't dead yet. Ford CEO Alan Mullally turned around Boeing, and I believe he can revive this sunken stock. I don’t see Ford making a turnaround until 2009 or so.

I don't know how low it can still go, but I probably won't settle for 10 or 20% gain considering the small number of shares I have. I want to hold it a little longer (several years maybe) and see where it goes. Super Saver: Right now Ford’s share price is not far away from its low nearly four years ago.

I think Ford (and GM) will have significant challenges leading to future stock price declines. However, the price will likely pop up initially and enable you to make a good profit. Good luck on your investment. Sun,

They may pick up in the 4th quarter. Maybe next quarter they will pick up. But in the future FORD maybe be a good stock. They plan to invest in Brazil through 2011. http://www.forbes.com/markets/feeds/ap/2007/01/04/ap3299745.html Buying 50 shares is not too much of a risk.

It's kind of gamble (with a small money) as everybody else suggests dump shares of US auto makers. But it's cheap ($7.5/share) and still paying dividend (yield 2.70%). Maybe they can turn things around if they can get some help from Japanese company such as Toyota, though nobody knows if that's gonna happen. That’s one reason.
