One guy doesn't bring down a company. Even still if someone makes a mistake sometimes they can learn from it. Not to say he is a great hire, but they are bringing in more individuals with knowledge of the field. They still have much larger infrastructure than TSLA could currently dream of. The smartest thing TSLA did was get a bunch of cash on their balance sheet.
Here is the thing there is absolutely no inventory on the car lots, Ford and GM are going to have knockout years next year.@frydaze do you see $F debt as problematic yes or no?

I'm not smart enough to know how everything will play out with this hire by Ford. Again, I have relied heavily on Jim Cramer's takes through the years because with him he's done far far more good in his stock performances I've followed than he's not. Cramer hasn't gone on a tout about the hire as much as he has sung the praises heavily of Ford-- and he's spoken of the F 150 too. Cramer is very favorable about Ford as to where they were vs. where they are today, and where they are going. In my book, that's good enough for me.
I saw this article about Ford related to the chip shortage:

BCTX announced a stock buy back this morning, which is highly unusual for an early biotech especially before the FDA approves. They must have something else in the pipeline.
I believe you are correct as well. Although I do not own Ford, Tesla or GM, I am playing this with increasing shares in AMD and Nvidia. I've killed it with these stocks over the past 3-4 years and I am certain they will benefit greatly when their production/sales can take advantage of the chip shortage and increased volume of vehicle sales. I am considering purchasing some Ford as well. I like the future for them.I saw this article about Ford related to the chip shortage:
"Benchmark analyst Mike Ward argues that Ford Motor (ticker: F) has turned a corner in its own battle with chip shortages. “While the chip shortage will likely remain an issue into 2022, the worst could be over for Ford,” he wrote in a Wednesday research report."
Ford Is Managing the Chip Shortage Better. Its Stock Should Gain.
Benchmark analyst Mike Ward believes Ford might have turned a corner in the semiconductor shortage, which has weighed on auto stocks this year.
What's your point? That you don't like Cramer? You upset he's been a big fan of Ford? That's fine-- you're entitled to your opinions and makes no matter to me if you never follow a stock choice of his. I have chosen to follow him and take on many of his picks and I have had no regrets in doing it based on performance. The man has a net worth of $150 million so apparently he's made a few smart decisions in his lifetime.
C'mon man, this thread is about stocks and performances and not creating debates about perceived character of a stock picker. You find no problem throwing your opinions loud against a person like Cramer you don't like, but then when debate is about a stock you're invested in (TSLA) happens, you get upset. Let's just keep our focus on stocks and not the people picking them-- especially if the people making picks are making pretty sound picks that show good results.
It's OK. I just think we all want this thread to be unlike most threads that get way off course and before long, it's a crap thread that is better off deleted because nobody benefits.
They have limited competition, now that the competition is taking them seriously it is not going to be quite as easy as what it has been. Maybe they become a major player in the future, maybe they realize it is a lot tougher in the auto industry than what they thought. Their balance sheet is much stronger I will give them that. As to infrastructure, plants, machines and employees.
Any thoughts on LCID? Been watching it since it came into the news with their SPAC deal. Seems like its on the dip and should/could start to make gains now with product finally hitting the pavement.
They seem to be really early in the process. If you like them I would take an initial investment, but realize if we have a decent drop these stocks with no current or limited income could take a decent hit.
My biggest winner this year was CCIV (LCID’s Spac). I love the company and car specs, they just need to start selling product. The Air release was supposed to be spring but they keep moving back.
As I expected, Affirm Holdings is up $30+ today after earnings report last night. I can see it settling back a little bit from this level and then running through the next few years. Keep an eye on it if you have any interest.
Dis Cramer if you want, but for a diversified portfolio he is not bad, the issue is there are so many people that follow him and if you want to buy in, you have to at elevated levels, but as a whole an for education purposes he is very good.
That is a solid 5 stocks right there, depending how long you have held those stocks they have likely done very well for you.
