As the stock market and economy is beginning to pick up, I thought it was time for a post on how to invest money. More specifically, where to invest money.
Car advertising is everywhere these days and I'm sure you are just as tired of it as I am. So ask yourself, "How can I take advantage of this?"
While browsing through email, I received the nightly update from WSJ.com, "The Evening Wrap." As I browsed the titles and articles, one caught my eye: "Toyota, Honda lead car sales gains." No need to read the article to guess what it means for the auto industry.
As the green movement picks up there is an inherent demand for more ecological, gas friendly cars. These just happen to be mostly passenger cars.
Over and over again, 2 years ago, I heard how Toyota was toying with the idea of electric because they were suffering in the auto market, more than Ford. Honda was hunkering down from lack of sales. The earthquake in 2011 did not help sales for the struggling companies.
As they fought tooth and nail to emerge on the top, they arrive victorious in quarter 3 with a 42% and 31% gain, respectively.
What does this mean for Ford and GM? More importantly, what does it mean for you?
Just like any good giant corporation is going to do when faced with a problem of posting 4th quart profits, what do they do? They throw money at the problem.
To attain the holy grail of the corporate machine of posting a profit in the 4th quarter (Important for every corporation) you must show an increase in sales and value added to the stake-holder.
Now's your chance to earn some extra spending money for the after Christmas sales. Ford and GM are going to be marketing their current truck line-up into the stars and pushing next years models. Not only that, they are expecting solid growth in the next few months. Faced with this current slap in the face from their Asian competitors, you can bet that they are about to crank up the heat on selling more trucks. Ford and GM want to earn their fair share and they have more incentive now.
With Ford stock selling for just under $10/share and GM for just under $24/share, an ember is about to be ignited into a fire to post profits.
Pick up some stock in the companies today and expect to sell them around January 1st (or after Christmas to beat the "Holiday Effect") and enjoy the post-holiday sales with the extra money!

Don't forget to review your mutual funds to see where your advisers are allocating the money. If the foreign or off-shore investments include Toyota or other Japanese car-makers, you might want to write a quick email or make a phone call!
Investing money can be fun, what are some of your experiences? Where have you had success investing in stocks and what kind of stocks did you invest in? What are the best stocks to invest in?
