AGGIE 77 MAN you are funny kept a check on it !!! (F) is hanging tough, lets see what happens when it reports earnings tomorrow. The smart money should be on June, $4 strike price, Puts, before the annoucement (today). Looks like the smart money would have been wrong!! Early indications are, more operating capital than expected, better earnings than expected, less burn down rate than expected and a buy recommendation from Goldman. Let's see what happens at the open. GO F GO!!

Ford Shares Get Boost From Wall Street BusinessWeek.com 04/23/09 by David Kiley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ford Motor Co. got a serious boost from Goldman Sachs Thursday when the investment bank raised its rating and share price target on the automaker, and minimized the chance that it would face bankruptcy in the next 18 months.
“We are adding Ford shares to the Conviction Buy List with a six-month price target of $6 and raising our sector Coverage view to Neutral from Cautious, wrote Goldman Sachs’ Patrick Archambault.
“Our call is driven by the almost unprecedented structural change facing the industry, which we think will redefine Ford and GM profitability, which has substantially lagged peers. Unlike GM, we do not foresee bankruptcy at Ford, which we believe has sufficient liquidity to make it through to 2010 without additional funding. We recognize sector sentiment is likely to be impacted by potential GM and Chrysler filings, but, with 58% upside to our target, we think much of this is in the shares which present a very attractive risk/reward.”
One of the factors making analysts bullish on Ford is the migration of buyers who have been buying GM and Chrysler vehicles, but who are wary of buying them now amidst bankruptcy talk for both companies, to Ford.
According to Edmunds.com, consideration of Ford vehicles has climbed about 8% from last September to last month. The drop in consideration of GM vehicles is also about 8%. According to the site’s data, the Ford Fusion is benefiting from a spike in people who are also cross-shopping the Chevy Malibu and Impala. The Ford F Series is also benefiting from a spike in people cross-shopping Dodge Ram and Chevy Silverado.
If Chrysler goes into actual Chapter 11 bankruptcy or gets liquidated, Ford, many analysts believe will be a huge beneficiary in its retail sales. Edmunds.com senior marketing Analyst Stephen Berkov says, “There is that element of the car buying audience who will continue to want to buy domestic vehicles, and Ford benefits from the fact that their quality ratings hold up very well against Toyota and Honda when they start researching the cars at sites like ours.
Indeed, more than 70% of Ford's vehicles are recommended by Consumer Reports.
Ford shares are up 78% since the first of the year in mid-day trading today at 4.38. The trading range of Ford share in the last 52 weeks was $1.01 to $8.79.

I gave pause on Ford and didn't buy. I think the stock price will open at $5.00. Ford was hanging around $3.50 3 days ago. I won't chase it that's for sure.

Jazz Ford closed at $4.49 on thursday.
That would have been a good buy

Aggie 77 If GM files Bankruptcy Ford Stock will be around $10. Well GM filed and is out, but F didn't get to $10, yet, but today's earnings report pushed it over $7. A third qtr like the second and F will will probably pass $10. I can't find a guidance statement from F, what are the projections for the remainder of the year?

I scanned that report but didn't see a guidance statement along these line:
US Steel [X 37.49 -2.86 (-7.09%)] reported its second consecutive quarterly loss on Tuesday and said it expected all of its business sectors to operate in the red in the third quarter.

I am not a financial expert by any means but in my adult life time there have been two great opportunity times to buy stocks in top companies, mid-1990's and 2002-2003 and I did not take advantage of it to the max. I feel now is another great buying time. Major companies are at an historic low but there are some companies that were once profitable and a major player in its industry that may not make it through this economic downturn. That is the tricky part of picking a stock. I will encouraged you to read financial books, magazines and news articles before buying anything. The philosophy of holding stocks forever has been blown-up twice, 2000-2001 and 2008. Now you ride the stock a far as you can and when it decline a certain percentage that make you nervous at night then you sell. Our community and A&T definitely need more millionaires who will earn their millions of dollars the hard way...by investing. These people usually donate more money to schools and charities. They also are able to protect their money and prevent huge loses but as always there are exceptions and 2008 has certainly shown us that. So if you have a little bit of disposable cash you should think about buying individual stocks in leading companies within their business sector. Save the main investment money for mutual funds, bonds and a few cds. Did y'all get in when I told ya and are now enjoying this big return on yo money? I actually called the low a month early. The market actually hit its absolute low around March 6th of this year.

On this down market day, it is unbelievable how the stocks that were talked about in this thread two years ago moved up between 200-400 percent.
Stay alert my friends. Money and wealth is a must have if you are a minority and especially if you are black.
I did it conservatively and had bet on the large blue chip market, S&P 500.
