They say a leopard cannot change its spots,therefore Ford Motor Company is a tiger. On a more serious note I have changed my outlook regarding Ford to a definite Buy. I have done so for numerous reasons, the strongest pertaining to exuberant increase in overall quality. Lets face it, when it comes to cars fuel efficiency is an important factor, but what has really diminished regarding American cars is overall quality. I say overall because this pertains to everything, the interior, performance, reliability, and etc. Therefore I believe that Ford is taking the right steps in the short run to insulate and assure Ford's longterm competitive position. Increases in quality are coming by way of many improvements. These range from new topless gas caps that are extremely user friendly, to the utilization of new materials that are of higher quality then more traditional materials. All in all I believe Ford is a solid buy. I understand that my approach is very simple but I believe competitive position in this industry relys more heavily on varibales such as overall quality and the ability to accomodate rapidly changing demand, rather then more traditional measures such as liquidity position or composition of leverage.

Worst cars I have owned were all G.M. Murphy's Law began here, in around 1980 when they destroyed the Caprice Classic

A simple, "I agree," would have sufficed, haha.

True, Ford has increased quality overall, but they are also seen as the the only survivor of the American auto industry [without any money from the government] so obviously Ford is a well managed company [a key factor to being successful and profitable] and thus so deserving of the confidence and support of the American public as buyers of sutomobiles as well as investors. Combine all that with an affordable price per share and that makes Ford an ideal investment choice for short and long term investors. Besides that, it's almost patriotic to be affiliated with Ford as an investor or as an automobile owner - Buy Ford and Buy American - so I'm bullish on Ford in that respect as well, as are a lot of other people too.
