Ford Stockholders have done well. Ford is by far the highest return investment of the big 3 historically.

not in the last 52 weeks...

low high
Ford $13.26 - 18.12

GM $28.82 - 39.77

FCAU $8.54 - 13.76

Had you bought low and sold high GM would have made you $6.95/share,
FCAU would have got you $5.22/share and Ford would have netted you a grand total of $4.86/share. With FCAU at a lower share price, one could have bought more shares for less money, then the other 2 and made off with a pretty decent return, if bought low and sold high.

52 week window $1000 dollar investment
Ford 75 sharesx$4.86=$364.50 increase
GM 35 sharesx$6.95=$243.25 increase


Ford increase 36.66% Dividend per share .15
GM increase 37.99% Dividend per share .30 no dividends paid prior to 2014
FCAU Increase 61.12% Dividend per share .0

Having said that I bought Ford at 1.43 and have been paid dividends quarterly for the last 7 years.
More to consider than a 52 week window of share price.

Now do that hypothetical $1,000 ten years ago. This is rhetorical, I was just pointing out that no investment is a guarantee for future success. I wish I only purchased at the low and sold at the high.
