It's a stock that's sanely valued and offers a dividend. I believe the author of the comment is pointing out a lot people think emotionally with their money.

Ford seems like a bargain at this price. (Disclosure: I've been in F around $6.)

I think the smart money should be looking at which established car-maker will be best able to make the transition to a future with electric personal vehicles and autonomous cars. It's clear there's going to be some kind of disruption in the next several years, and new players and the survivors are going to be splitting up the bounty.
