Ford Motor Company (F), General Motors Company (GM): Two of the Best Stocks to Invest In

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) is a little behind Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) in releasing new vehicles because it needed to shore up its financials first. Finally it’s able to dust off the oldest vehicle portfolio in the industry and plans to refresh, replace, or redesign almost 90% of its vehicles by 2016. I expect that to pay off for GM and improve its top and bottom lines drastically. General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) also has a leg up on Ford when it comes to its luxury Cadillac line – which brings home higher profit margins than standard cars. Ford’s working to turn its Lincoln line to compete in the luxury segment, but it has a lot of progress to make.

Bottom line
Ford and GM seem to have bright futures with their leaner operations and popular new models. Both look to gain market share and are taking full advantage of consumers hitting the showrooms. Investors are happy with improving profits, operations, market share, and vehicles, and the second quarter is shaping up to be just as profitable as the first. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) have a lot of momentum right now, and seem like two of the best stocks to invest in.
