Who on the Jet owns Ford Stock.

Bought mine at 1.12 and am feeling better and better about it each and every day.

I've become addicted to checking the price and have been known to hoot when it does what it did today. At one point, stock was up 86 points.

I bought @ 2.11 back in Oct/Nov. I REALLY wish I'd have thrown some more cash when it dipped near $1 but alas...

It's still a good buy @ it's current price. Ford is looking better and better everyday :)

Bought mine at just over $2 a share in October. I want to buy more, but talking the wife into it is like talking to a brick wall. The fact that we lost the small amount we invested in GM stock is preventing her from seeing how well off Ford is right now.

Ford stock is undervalued and is surely to keep increasing.It keeps going up on all of the good news out of Ford lately.:thumbup:

I am going to buy some Ford stock as soon as I have a bit more money to invest again.

I have about 1k shares and am very happy with the current situation. Now I can't wait to see what the share price looks like in five years. I'll wager a guess that it might be that long before they reinstate the dividend.

Is buying stock even close to the hassle if you are only dropping like 50 bucks on it?

I need to do some research for the next time it drops.
I would say you need to get more than $50, because your commissions are going to be $5 to $10. You'd have to have an astronomical rise in share price to make any money with a $50 investment. IMO, work your way up to being able to buy 100 shares of whatever you want to buy.

Anyway, I bought at about $2.10 like 3-4 weeks ago. It reached 3.99 yesterday or Monday I think, before falling back down. I was ecstatic!

^^I watch the stock report daily and today Ford's stock was being bought up by the 10's of 1000's and the price crested to $3.99 a share then fell back a bit.But overall another nice gain.:)

I opened up a Sharebuilder account in early March with the intent of buying some Ford stock. It was extra easy since I already have an ING savings account. ING owns or is partnered with Sharebuilder so it just imported a lot of my info. I started out putting about $100 in which ended up being 45 shares plus the $9.95 trade fee. I did another 105 shares at around $2.80/share. I'm still way ahead even considering the $20 in fees I've paid.

My only complaint? I didn't buy more at $1.xx or $2.xx per share! :lol: I hate to sit here wishing the stock would drop a couple bucks a share but I kind of do so then I could buy more for cheap(er). :evilgrin:

^^After searching a lot of the online brokers and their fees and minimum share purchases I found out about ING Direct/Sharebuilder from this MSN Money website on The (really) small investor:

Link:http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/StartInvesting/TheReallySmallInvestor.aspx

From that page:
Consider alternatives. Dividend-reinvestment plans, or DRIPs, allow you to invest as little as $10 a month, and many plans don't charge fees. ShareBuilder, meanwhile, allows small investors to purchase partial shares by combining orders and purchasing stocks in blocks. ShareBuilder has no account minimums and no maintenance fees.
Unfortunately now I just have to wait a bit until I have some money to invest in Ford stock.

The down side is I thought I bought much lower. My wife and I had been talking about it and she was a bit more hesitant than I so when she finally bought in the stock was up to 2.16. I had thought it was 1.12 when we bought in.

Still, not too bad. Easiest money I've ever made.

Sure, rub in the fact that you have 3 times the shares I do. :lol: I grabbed Ford stock for cheap back in early March just for fun (after reading the post that shareholders get X-Plan pins or whatever) and then more because it was doing so good. Now I wish I'd really bought in. Of course if I'd done that it'd probably be bouncing along at a buck and a quarter a share or something and I'd be hoping just to break even in a few months.

I saw it at 2.XX for a while and have talked to my parents and loads of people about wanting to buy some but I don't have any money to throw at a single stock!!!

Stupid 21 year old college studentness. I'm glad others see the same future I do now.

Do you think 4.xx a share is too much for someone as poor as I am to start with?
:lol:

I could only get like 150 shares.
