Auto Sales Stall in July

In the following video, fool.com analysts Andrew Tonner and Austin Smith discuss the disappointing auto-sales numbers in July. The two domestic manufacturers have been heralded time and time again as the next big turnaround stories, but investors haven't been rewarded for their patience yet. Some of the big reasons behind the weakness include weak fleet sales and rebounding Japanese manufacturers.

Yet Ford is still a compelling buy today. The company has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. But Ford's stock price is down more than 20% over the past year. Does this create an incredible buying opportunity, or are there hidden risks with the stock that investors need to know about? To answer that, one of our top equity analysts has compiled a premium research report with in-depth analysis on whether Ford is a buy right now, and why.
