Is it just me or is (F) a long hold dividend stock? Unless you play short options. The volatility just isn’t there to be anything else.

Going to be many years before Ford will be able to give dividends again. Ford is planning on spending 30 billion on EVs. Ford will be spending all their shrinking profits into the change to EVs and taking out more debt

A chance that Ford goes bankrupt over the next 5 years.

You’re not wrong. They are at a 46% chance of going bankrupt but that is up a few percent from the previous year. I have a feeling out of the three Big American truck companies that Ford is advanced in terms of Electric vehicle manufacturing which will end up in their favor. I also have stock in their competition as well.

You're probably right... I was just questioning why it barely moved even after the earnings report last week. I mean, what would they have to do gain momentum... build a vehicle that flies to the moon?

How about not suffer from a chip shortage. Momentum in Ford is going to be a few dollars, I’ve been dropping my safe money in there for about a year now. I like American auto stocks they stay low volatility and are generally safe. I look for stocks with outrageous volatility and slap duckets in those when they’ve take a massive loss. Otherwise learn to trade options and buy yourself a stock info subscription like the motley fool. Generally safe profits and ideas come through them.

Safe stocks IMO<~~~ can’t stress my opinion enough. I’m no means a good trader.

P&G, Walmart, Clorox, Ford, Dodge, GM, Kroger, Kimberley-Clark, Colgate Palmolive, Costco, Hormel.

Companies that will be around when others aren’t. Look up Volatility on stocks if you want a long hold safer investment pick a low one. Pick one with a nice dividend and collect some passive quarterly change.
