I never have, and don't know that much about it.
I was looking online for Planet Fitness about my gym membership, and saw a link about their stock being $55.59 a share.
Out of curiosity, I checked Ford's, and saw theirs was $5.37 a share.
Looking a little deeper, it appears that Ford stock has been on a decline for the past 6-7 years.
Surprising GM stock is $24.06 a share, but started the year around $36.
Ford only started the year just above $9.
Apparently Ford profits have been dropping, and scaring investors.
Must be why Ford is trying to introduce so many new vehicles. I personally don't think Ford has had an original idea since the 2010 Raptor. The Ranger is in response to the Tacoma and Colorado. The Bronco is in response to the Jeep Wrangler, and Ford has allegedly considered a pickup version of the Bronco to compete with the Jeep Gladiator. I personally think it's stupid. I think Ford should build a better offroad package for the Ranger, and stop following what Jeep and everyone else is doing. They've been following instead of leading. Time to lead.
Ford would die without the F-150. Hopefully they don't decide to try and turn everything in to a pickup. I don't know that I'm ready for a Mustang pickup.
Anyways.......
With all these uncertain times, I was wondering if anyone here has seen this as an opportunity to buy stock at cheaper prices?
