Ford, You Did it Again

Tweet

Ford Motor Company is a stock I have owned for decades, and the one thing about it, that is sometimes annoying, is that it's just never been an exciting stock by any stretch of the imagination. In all the years I have owned it, it has rarely ever been over $20 a share, and seems to average out around $9-$15 a share. In fact, I bought a share with a certificate many, many years ago when my nephew was young and paid $9 for it. Considering the stock has never split since I have owned it and is trading now around $12, that's not much to write home about. Still, I like the company, and it does pay a fair dividend. The stock will tank today once the markets open up due to a bad earnings call after the markets closed yesterday. But I will be adding some shares, nonetheless. I was actually at a profit before the bell, and had thought about selling the position and starting over. I probably should have done that, and could have bought new shares at a discount today while realizing the profits I had on paper yesterday. Oh well.
