SoonerLS Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Yes i think they have place too much emphasis on lectric future when the future is definetly dino... If you're strictly talking resources and extrapolated consumer demand, possibly, but you're ignoring regulatory impetus. If you want to sell in California and a handful of other states that follow them on this front, electrification is mandatory, and it's also important for meeting CAFE requirements.

I've been to California a couple times and most of the time I've gotten Hybrids as rental cars. Thats one way of making numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Taxi and Uber car I've seen in California has been a hybrid of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Not many blue chip stocks now days pay this kind of dividend. Ford in many respect is similar to Fox, another family owned company that has an under performing stock. The advantage of having a class of super-voting stock is that management are not under any pressure to deliver short term quarterly earnings to impress Wall Street. They can focus on long term strategic initiatives that are more important for the long term survival of the company. The disadvantage, if you are a common stock holder, is obviously that management are not that responsive to your short term capital gains objectives.

In other words, day traders can go $%&! themselves. As it should be. You can't build or continue a successful company catering to short term stock price and day traders.
