Ford stock is going up slowly...which is normal for this stock...but this stock will never get real high..just too many outstanding shares..3.5 billion...they cut off their dividend...which they may bring back this year.. and yes it did hit a 52 week high at 14.12...but back in the day..Ford...
....Because it's bare metal.It's high strength steel that only develops surface oxide like Cast iron.It won't rust through like regular metal...The NJ Turnpike (Interstate 95) redid everyone of their bridges from the ground up....every piece of steel on all the bridges is completely...
My back up plan for my everyday ride is..I'll keep my 15 Ford Edge...Tuxedo Black...65k with extended warranty is good for 108k miles and 39 months..and it was paid for on day one...so I don't need a Bronco,I want one...but if I'm not in my base by spring...I won't be in one at all....
