Would you buy Ford stock shares?

Question

First of all:I don't know much about trading. I have seen Ford stock going from $3.85 to $5.9 then down to $4.3, and then going back to $5.4 in a matter of days. Let's say I bought 1000 shares for $3,850, and then sell it 2 days after when the price was up to $5.9, and then buy again 1 day after (price $4.3) and then sell again... is that possible? The ford stock is very volatile and I wonder if it is that easy to make money with that kind of volatility.

Answer 1

Ford is a steal right now!  The question you have to ask yourself is "where do you see this company 10 years from now?"  If you feel it will be around....BUY IT!  I diversified my portfolio and bought some recently.  If it goes bye bye...o well.  Dont put all of your eggs in one basket.

Answer 2

Yes.. F is a buy.. their surprise profit from the past quarter is an indication that their 'turn-around' is at least partially successful.. moreover, europe and asia seem to enjoy the cars that they make, great market for growth.

Answer 3

those automotive stock are very risky, with all those plants closing, i wouldnt buy it, with the soaring gas prices, too risky, try commodities

Answer 4

I wouldn't buy a Ford let alone shares in the company.

Answer 5

Id wait till later, its not safe to buy in a bear market right now, no ones making money, just wait till you see good patterns or when this recession is close to over.

Answer 6

You shoudn't watch stock daily, you'll drive yourself crazy. I definitely wouldn't invest in Ford because they're merging with (I think it's) GMC because the market for cars is so bad.

Answer 7

dear god man no. first of all..what youre describing is day trading. only the very very best of daytraders will make profit in the long run.

second of all: bear market.

thirdly, thinking of buying ford because the price is low is like trying to catch a falling knife

Answer 8

1) Yes.

2) Yes. (If you have at least $25,000.00 USD)

3) No.

I used to be a Daytrader (I am now a Portfolio Manager) and it's extremely hard.

You need at least a 3 person team working 7 days a week 8 hours a day each. (It does not matter if the stock market is closed. You still need to analyze the information)

Most people do it on their own and they fail after a year.
