Putting your money where your mouth is...

[Polyal]

Ok so I have had some experience over the years with mixing business with pleasure and typically it can be painful. Also realise that investing with your heart is not a flash idea either buuuuuut....

Who here has Ford US shares? I know I have probably missed the boat, as the little research I have done indicates that the share prices has risen quiet well over the past few years.

So, do people think its to late to jump on board? Ive just got a feeling that the company is on a continued rise and well to be frank I would like to have my little interest in it.

I am not talking major $$ here, and I am looking at a 5-10 year deal, Im young(ish) so I am certainly not betting my super or anything like that on it. I just find it more interesting that leaving my cash in a term deposit.

Im impressed with the CEO, I believe in the product and its future direction and well I guess I have a soft spot for the brand...my income is not dependent on the success of it, but naturally movement in the positiive direction would be nice.

Any thoughts?
