Ford (F) is a valuable asset for investors looking to weather the global economic volatility. Considering all available options, this also may be the most appealing auto manufacturer to invest in right now. The current price is acceptable for favorable returns, although there will most likely be an opportunity to invest in Ford at even more of a discount in the near future. I believe Ford will experience some short-term dips in price in the near-term, but in the long-run, this stock price has the potential to triple or even quadruple from its current price within the next few years. Shareholders should hold for the long-term. Investors and shareholders alike should watch closely for more appealing entry points to acquire this stock at even more of a discount after the next earnings report. Ford still has a reliable and aggressive plan for growth and prominence in the auto-industry to sustain long-term success.
