The stock is back into the single digit realm yet again. When will this bloodbath end? With the recent CEO change i thought things would be different.

I'm not sure if i should buy more shares now or wait til it hits 7 or 8 bucks. Where is the bottom?

I’m hoping it drops like a rock. Ill buy back in a 6. Sold all my stock awhile ago

Ford is actually profitable but yet there stock is trash. Tesla has yet to become profitable and is bleeding cash but trades at 300+. Blows my mind, but i know new age trading depends on perception.

Lots of investors are dumping money in companies that haven’t turned a profit yet.

Tesla is treated like a tech stock and Ford isn't. I do agree with you though, great time to buy Ford.

My plan is to buy 10 shares a month for the next few years. Any dividens get paid out, it goes right back into more stock. Ive got a 401k, this is more for pride of ownership and a hunch that when tech stocks and Tesla flop, traditional 500 companies will be revalued where they should be.

Of course, Im just an amateur in the world of investing and a big Ford fan so WTF do I know. I just want to own a piece of this badboy. :D

I bought in at $1.25 back in 2008 so I’m good.
I bought all I could afford back when it was $3 per share and sold all of it anywhere from $18/share to $12/share.

I'll probably step back in if it continues down like this.

Man, Ford was my second ever stock purchase. I bought 1000 shares in the 9's like 6 years ago. Sold it in the 12's somewhere within a year.

Think it's a broken stock? RSI is 18. I traded Ford for a period of time. My memory is that a 20% move down from the most recent 52week high was a good area to buy for a swing trade. It's pretty much there now, earnings mis punishment shouldn't gain much steam.

50 day moving average is down, so is the weekly, and so is the monthly. There will be zones that are going to be defended, like 8.82-- could be a bounce there, but I doubt it will hold with interest rates moving up. The cost of borrowing is going up and the sub prime auto loans will burst, just my opinion.

These tariffs also need a resolution.

Could Ford's stock value be a hedged bet against the subprime loan bubble?

Terms of Service Violation

Seriously, I have no idea what investor would EVER want a securities backed by subprime anything. Did they not learn from the subprime housing market and.. you know... the near financial collapse it almost brought?

In another thread here, Ford released a new top dog F-150 for OVER $50k. As the COST of the average new car keeps going up, more and more people need longer loans to keep monthly payments reasonable. This has been going on since before the tariffs were enacted.

I get it, people should be more responsible to to come up with a down payment that reduces the amount of principle needed to finance. Or even pay down their existing car loan before applying for a new one with a new car.

Problem is, used car prices are starting drop like a rock too. My lady's 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport value is dropping faster than a lead box dropped form 50k feet. Its unreal.

I don't think things are good at Ford right now. I read a post over on the other Mustang forum of a guy that used to work there and is still friends with people working at Ford. Whether that directly affects the stock or not, I'm not sure, but I "assume" it might have some affect. Especially if any of those stockholders have any insight into Ford.

Shouldn't burst anytime soon. Trump economy is kicking ass and should carry on for a couple more years.

Hmmm... then it appears investors see life after Mulally as bleak. It amazes me how quickly fortunes can change with just 1 man retiring. Sure, new CEO's want to leave their mark on the company. But how do you lose such a great culture so quickly?

That's it. Hire back John Coletti as COO and VP of quality control. Make him report directly to Bill Ford. Some heads may roll but so be it. That man is as Ford as the Fords themselves IMO.

Some feedback about Ford can be interesting reads on financial websites. Pride of ownership is one thing (I was for a while even before dividends), but they do seem adrift at the moment. dumping car mfg. is a pretty stout shock to the system as is touting driverless tech for a future that sees fewer cars. I owned for years and unloaded a little while ago. If it dips lower I may get back in. I always felt they had a better plan than GM but the stock never reflected it. Still kicking myself not buying some @ $2 bucks. Have to make due with my AAPL...

Tesla is treated like a tech stock and Ford isn't. I do agree with you though, great time to buy Ford.

And as we speak Tesla is trading at roughly just under $300, even with their company in shambles with no real business plan, and numerous negative stories surfacing about them weekly.

Government assistance and corruption are wonderful things.....
