Before you plunk down $1000 for a stock that's way down you should consider something. Which companies in the car sector have outperformed Ford over the last 5 years or so? Names like Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC) come to mind.

The price of a stock has nothing to do with you getting a company "cheap". A cheap stock is one that may be at its low in a business cycle, but whose management and business model has proven superior and recession proof. Even if you have to buy a partial lot (less than 100 shares), it may be worth considering. Buy good companies for the long haul not just those that have gone down a pile. There's no guarantee they will go up to where they were because they often get heavier with inefficient baggage as the years go on.
 
yes, it;s the right time to buy stock at a lower price you know. specially like companies who are very well known.. it's better to buy them this time because after a year it will grow up.. i mean, values of stocks flactuates however it depends on the the stockholders and the prformance of the company.
i would suggest, yes..
 
Though it closed at $2.84 today, which is very, very low for Ford historically, none of the leading analysts are recommending it as a "buy". A number do have it as a "hold" rather than a "sell".

I think buying Ford stock now would be a lot like spending the same amount of money on lottery tichets. You've got a shot at winning big, but the odds are against you.

If you do decide to go for it, I wish you the best of luck!
 
i would wait for a pull back, i bought it at 2.12 back in december and im looking to get out of it, it might get an initial bounce after monday with obama's car company plan, id wait
 
i would say yes! look at the big picture you know that companys not gonna go out of business thats a giving they just wont you know its ford!!! they may partner up if it comes to a worst case scenario but on the big picture you know that its gonna at least hit $5 so you can at least double your money. it might even shoot way past that, thats a fo sho nows the time to buy all major big companys that are at all time lows! can you say future millionaires!!!!!
