Yay, My Ford stock just gained a bit! The dividends are what has been keeping it in my portfolio.

I bought a couple hundred shares of Ford stock in 2008, at the height of that Recession, and I got my shares for just a hair over $8/share. Ergo, a bargain, especially in light of the dividends that I collected over the next several years.

However, about 8 years later, when their stock was in the doldrums and things didn’t look too rosy for the company, I sold it for only a _slight_ profit. Obviously, if I had held it longer it would have gotten back to a much better price point, but as the old saying tells us… _Timing is everything_.

Warren buffets “ Be greedy when people are fearful, and be fearful when others are greedy”. Would of played out there.
