How to Purchase Ford Motor Stock Directly

Ford Motor Company is the only major American automotive company that didn't file for bankruptcy in 2009. Because of this, you may want to purchase stock in the car company. Typically you need to purchase stock through some sort of stock brokerage company and pay a processing fee, but it is possible to purchase the stock directly from the Ford Motor Company.
