Someone always makes money (and someone else loses money) on every stock transaction. I remember doing well in the late 90's on a lot of tech stocks (I was a daytrader for a short while). Then the tech bubble burst. I stopped daytrading and decided if I was gonna gamble, I might as well have fun doing it in casinos instead. ?You are right, just checked. BTW Tesla is up 317% YTD, someone made money.
With Tesla's build quality and their soup Nazi mentality I think now the big boys are getting into the show that bubble will also burst. Nothing special about their batteries that a Kona can not beat.Someone always makes money (and someone else loses money) on every stock transaction.

And someone "lost" money. Every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser as the late great poet K. Rogers put it.You are right, just checked. BTW Tesla is up 317% YTD, someone made money.
some of us jumped in when it was under 5 a share. Should had bought more.@trutolife27 just posted this on the "Ford Going Bankrupt" thread.
Note that analysts are listing F stock as buy at ~7 3/4. Looking good!
Up 15% since I bought four months ago. I agree with MME direction and think that it will be a hit, along w Bronco and F-150. Dropping sedans also a good idea.I honestly can not wait to see what happens with "F" stock once the Mach-E get sold and delivered to customers. I think it will help the EV market in the US and its stock will rise. However, though as Tesla are the front runners for being about a decade head start on electrification it will be a battle for any Legacy Automaker to compete but I think that Nissan, Ford will have a chance. Also Fisker comes out next year as well as a cheaper (more affordable EV) for the middle class people like myself.
F stock @ 9.17 right now
FSR @ 15.05 right now
TSLA @ 835.75 right now (TSLA has already been split into 5ths)
NSANY @ 10.38 right now (watching this one and will purchase if it drops back down because of the EV goes on sale this summer)
I see the F-150 news as important for short-term investors. I see a successful start in electrification as important for long term investors.While I monitor this forum to see how well MachE sales are expected to go, I think if Ford sells their 50,000 units this year, they will negatively affect Tesla more than positively affect Ford earnings. But I do believe it will be a hit.
But as far as investing goes, the thing to watch is F-150 sales. Mainly because the F-150 seems to be another hit, and if it is, 900,000 units will be sold.
The Bronco will not be sold in enough numbers this year to make a big difference in earnings, and stock prices are usually based on current earnings and future projected earnings.
So you can see where Ford's current earnings increase will come from.
But for 2022, if Ford executes well on the roll outs of these 3 vehicles, I will be happy.
And then the electric F-150 will roll out, so we will see.
But stock price is all about sentiment right now. Ford and other OEMs are negatively impacted by the sentiment on Wall St that they are dead and Tesla will trample all over them. Once Ford, GM , Volkswagen etc. show that they can also sell compelling EVs, sentiment may change and stock prices can go up disproportionately compared to the cash flow or profits from their electric cars.While I monitor this forum to see how well MachE sales are expected to go, I think if Ford sells their 50,000 units this year, they will negatively affect Tesla more than positively affect Ford earnings.

Agree. I'm sticking with F because nothing GM makes excites me, and it is typically harder to get a bigger company like GM to move as quick as a smaller company like Ford.But stock price is all about sentiment right now.

Another catalyst is the dividend reinstatement, even if that's very small. Many funds only invest in dividend paying stocks.
Disclosure: Have a bunch of Ford and GM stocks.
