Bah. Diversification is for wimps. I bought Ford stock because it matched the grade I got in "Investing 101".

My recently deceased mother's IRA has a Ford corporate note as part of the portfolio....paying just a hair under 7.5%; due this coming October.

It's been callable for quite some time, and I've been surprised they didn't exercise that option to date.
