Investing in automobile companies is difficult because integral to the analysis is an understanding of energy prices. Energy prices that go through the roof can literally lead to the collapse of a business (See GM). But I believe Ford is well-managed, well-positioned, and here to stay. You could split hairs and wait for a pull-back by scaling into your investment, or you could make your investment now. I always recommend having some cash on hand in order to scale into positions. Ford's products are good and their brand now competes on level ground with GM & Chevy because of their b...

I often refer to 'my pal Warren' in my posts and I credit Mr. Buffett's investment advice and parables over the years for much of my gains in 2009.
There is another mentor, though, one I have not referred to often but that I have gleaned some wisdom from in terms of value investing and courage, and that is 'my pal Sir John.' While Buffett has been very straight forw...

Previously, I projected Ford to run on rumor of the bailout and its passage. Given the dire state of the current economy, I did not see how the US Congress could not pass the bill. However, yesterday, I locked-in profits because Senate Republicans appear unwilling to pass the bill, which will yield a deathblow to the entire industry (not to mention the economy as a whole).

Bullish On Ford Next Week

Ford (NYSE: F) finished last week strong. An acute trader would have seen positive divergence in the MACD and share price from mid-October through mid-November. The buy signal came when Ford broke the down trend line last week.
Ford closed the shortened week near the high of day, just above the 50MA. Momentum indicators seem to support a sustained run.
On top of the technical momentum, the country seems to be changing its sentiments towards providing money to US automakers. So long as the automakers' managements are able to deliver a plan to Congress when they meet next, I do ...

These days it is hard for anyone to be credible when they say they know what is going to happen next. I am no different. I have a view and for now it is working but that doesn't mean it will tomorrow. I am happy to tell everyone what I think and they are free to agree or disagree. My premise is a simple one but it isn't a happy one. So you may sleep better if you just hit the delete key now. In my view, the problem we all face is a big one. The US like the rest of the world is over leveraged. As anyone who has ever lost their butts trading stocks on margin knows when times are great l...

Even though Ford has about $28 billion in cash, that cash is not going to last forever when you are buringin through between $1- $2 billion per month. Given the current burn rate, I suspect Ford can weather the next couple of quarters, but short term I am extremely bearish on Ford. The consumer is cash and credit constrained at this point and unfortunately you need both in this market to purchase new vehicles. Until the consumer credit market unfreezes, there will continue to be downward pressure on Ford's earnings.

Given the global economic slowdown, lower commodity prices, and cool-down in former red-hot grow markets such as China; the accompanying table presents statistics and an overview of a global transport short ETF strategy for passenger airlines, auto makers, maritime, and trucking companies.
While I am still bullish on the prospects for railroads as a long investment idea and a hedge to these short transport ETF ideas, they will also suffer to some degree depending on the length and depth of the s...

About Ford Motor Company
- Answers.com
Can a case be made for Ford's shares today? Indeed one can be made, but the stock is not for the squeamish. 
Looking over the recent history of America's automakers, one theme seems to stand out. Regardless of their situation, the economy, or the issue at hand, the Big Three have an almost preternatural ability to determine the most foolish course of action and pursue it with amazing vigor.
