Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)

A lot of money has gone into detroit in the past couple years and is one of the main focus' of how the economy is doing, people care about that sector

Ford still sets the example and everyone follows. Well mabybe they did take a design from the jag but not the technology
for the 2013 fusion. I own the car of the year 2010 fusion which now has over 45,000 miles and same tires, had the rear breaks put on early. Was told I had about 5,000 miles left but went ahead and had them changed. Its the only thing done other than fluid changes. Weird I thought the front brakes should go first on a front wheel drive car. My 1995 f-350 7.3 diesel and 2005 expedition 114,000 miles also no problems. 2005 has 5.4 V-8 and I can get 17mpg country driving. It does better than the smaller 4x4's like jeep or toyota so thats why I went big and ended up with ford again. Not a ford nut
either, it just all worked out that way. Hope I don't sell the 2010 and get the 2013 fusion. It sure will be popular at 47 mpg and not look like a tin can for its hybird. It will sell the crap out of those just like 2010 when you couldn't even buy a hubcap because they were backordered. At least the stock is not on backorder. If ford said you can't buy our stock for the next 2 years and then after 2 years said ok you can buy now. LOL It would double or tripple in a few days.

With the Recession ending sometime soon (hopefully) people that were scrimping and saving during the Recession will have more money to spend on luxuries like new cars. Ford didn't take the government bailout and because of that, still has a good reputation and more credibiltiy than it's direct competitors

value stock

auto industry will recover

Ford has come a long way in improving their quality and, more importantly, their designs. I haven't been much of a fan since the very first Taurus came out many years ago. I find myself admiring the new car designs and I am very pleased with their quality ratings of late.

Looks like Ford might drop for the next couple weeks. The 50SMA has been very tough to get through for F. It has flirted with it for 3 weeks now. Long term, I think it will do well, but for the near term (few weeks), it should drop to maybe around 10. Barring some government intervention, lol!

People love cars. Ford makes them. Yay, car companies!

Give it time, It has the right mechanics to get back on track.

F has underperformed the past year. New vehicle sales have been well below average as credit is unavailable for many buyers. In addition, the UAW talks hung over the stock price for the last year.

With the talk behind F and vehicle sales not keeping pace with demand (the average US car is now 11 years old--a record) I expect F will outperform going foward.

Detroit is coming back, and consumers are buying cars again.

Has established itself as the top of the line truck brand and is still cheap in terms of price to earnings. Only concern is europe but either way in the long run this stock will outperform the s&p since both will be dragged down by the Euro if it does collapse.

Ford Asian Division is bringing low cost / high milage cars to developing countries (Eco-boost engines) coupled with an expected growth in the North American market should outperform the S&P 500 easily.

Europe worries me at the moment, but the company has already restructured itself to be more efficient in European markets. New product introduction will help boost revenue, and I don't expect Europe's issues to last the entire year. Ford is currently undervalued given its current performance. Look for slight expansion in profit margins over the next five years.

I am a believer in American history and proud of this car manufacturer...thanks for giving me confidence in the American spirit again. Go Ford!

Gonna beat earnings tomorrow

great management

American made! Based on Obama's praise and reassurance that American manufacturer's are rebounding and hiring in leaps and bounds is promising
