F - Ford Motor Company

Market sees this as a positive because trump while inspire a "buy America" mentality. F will need to adapt but could spur long-term growth.

 

Potential Bullish Reversal Pattern?. Target $13+ Risk 2%, Reward 10%

 

Ford Motor company is in a race against rivals to develop and commercialise self-driving cars.

 

You are correct @David Malan and welcome to the board and congrats on your 1st post. Are you invested in Ford?

 

Actually this should be one of the best news after a long time, Ford did a great job by keeping plant here and Trump mentioned it was impressed. There is a 70% chance that Ford will rise to $12.17 (+2.45%) by early next week.

 

Ford confirmed that it had considered moving MKC production to Mexico, but had jettisoned that idea.

 

Chart-wise, this looks like it will dip next week. Likelihood increases if the market pulls back after this hot run.

 

I think so too. It's been an under-performer like forever, had a low-range close on the week, still a supply of cheaper stock to be had closer to $11, and that $10.44 low from the market-wide down-draft on August 24th, 2015 is still sticking out there like a sore thumb.

Weekly Vertical Chart:

 

A storied stock like Ford from Henry Ford to no bailout should NOT be trading@sub-$11-12 a share because it's NOT a sub-par company.

 

I suppose that depends on how many shares are out there; and more particularly, how many of them are available for trading. What would you suggest? $13 to $16?

It is yielding a 5.1% dividend here at a price of 11.75.

 

Cyclical stock means you average in during downturn, collect dividend, and sell-out on upswing. Great for covered calls too

 

Still a pretty good long term hold as far as I can see. I'm in a 2/3rd size position right now so can still leg in another 1/3 but have been holding off for a dip to under 11. Might not happen but we'll see.

Ford Sees Record October Sales in China
American carmaker Ford Motor (NYSE:F) has been tirelessly working to make its mark in China, the most attractive destination for automotive giants. The Blue Oval might be classified as a late entrant in this emerging Asian economy, but it is definitely working hard to expand its presence in the mainland. The company sold a record 107,618 vehicles in October, up 14% year over year, powered by strong sales of Mustang, Explorer, New Edge, Focus and Escort.

Man, it sounds pretty depressing to shell out money for a foreign car and it's an Escort.
