| You can’t get more “all-American” than Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and its iconic F-150 pickup truck. For more than four decades now, the F-150 has been the top-selling vehicle in the United States. F-150 sales are even a leading economic indicator since most of the folks who buy and drive them work in the real economy — contracting, landscaping, hauling … you name it! Ford reported in January that F-150 sales were down 8.6% year over year. You can blame it on the supply chain debacle and semiconductor shortages. Skyrocketing gas prices don’t help either. At this point, stocks are in a bear market, and it seems like the U.S. economy is slipping into a recession. That sounds bleak, but bear markets can be the ideal time to buy stocks on the cheap. Shares of Ford, for instance, sell today for around 3.9 times earnings. That's dirt-cheap! The stock also pays a solid dividend yield of 3.6%, which beats what you can get on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds. It seems like a smart time to drive a hard bargain at your local Ford dealership — and to scoop up shares of Ford stock at an attractive price. There may be more pain at the pump and in the economy ahead, but I’m confident America’s favorite automaker will weather the storm just fine. P.S. Ford’s electric F-150 Lightning is gearing up for the mass market in what should be a huge boon for electric vehicles. But I’m tracking a tiny American company disrupting the renewable energy space.

Target's (TGT) Turnaround Is on the Horizon The American Revolution was always a contrarian bet. Who would have thought a ragtag group of 13 colonies could win a war against the world’s greatest empire? In the spirit of contrarian bets, I’m highlighting a stock that’s had a rough go in 2022. It’s also a company that many Americans flocked to this weekend to prepare for Fourth of July festivities. I’m talking about Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT). If a zombie apocalypse breaks out, you could barricade yourself in a Target store and survive for years. It sells everything. And that’s part of its problem. Target bought too much of the wrong stuff just as consumer tastes were shifting after the pandemic. Now it’s trying to offload a mass of unwanted inventory … which contributed to Wall Street dumping TGT shares. This is a minor bump in the road. Target was confident enough in its business to boost its dividend by 20% this past quarter. The stock also rates a solid 84 on quality, 64 on value and 62 on growth within our proprietary Stock Power Ratings system. The only thing TGT lacks right now is momentum, and I expect that to turn in the coming weeks. Click here to read more of my thoughts on Target in my recent Dividend of the Week.

Coca-Cola (KO): An All-American Stock Powerhouse My all-American stock is inspired by something my father introduced me to at seven years old. I thought it was the grossest thing I had ever encountered at the time. Now I do it at every opportunity I get. He showed me how to eat peanuts by dumping them in a bottle of Coca-Cola. Blue-collar workers started the trend in the 1920s because they didn’t want to touch their food with their dirty hands. And Coca-Cola Corp. (NYSE: KO) has grown into an international powerhouse 100 years later. Today, KO scores a “Bullish” 70 on our Stock Power Ratings system. That means we expect it to beat the broader market by at least 2X over the next 12 months. In the last 12 months, KO is up almost 20% — sell-off and all! And it comes with a 2.8% forward dividend yield. KO is an American stock with fantastic potential for the second half of 2022 and beyond.
