Today’s 3 Best Stocks: Genworth Financial Inc (GNW), MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG), Ford Motor Company (FORD)

Finally, automaker Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) revved up shareholders by gaining 2.8% after China’s auto sales figures came in better than many expected. In total, China’s auto sales soared 19.5% in January/February from the previous year — one of the few sales aspects that accelerated from 2012. Specifically for Ford Motor Company (NYSE:FORD), sales rose by a whopping 46% to 105,209 vehicles. Although its China sales won’t make up for the ghastly results we’ve witnessed in Europe that are caused by widespread austerity measures, it’s clearly a positive that Ford Motor Company (NYSE:FORD)’s found alternative areas of growth outside the U.S. and Europe.
