Six New Permits; Four BR Permits Canceled -- October 31, 2024

Locator: 48687B.

EV headlines today:

  • Ford to halt F-150 Lightning production as EV demand wanes. Better said, "... pause production...," not halt production.
  • Slow sales force Stellantis to "hit brakes" on SUV production. Link here. This is the company that promised us a sub-$30,000 SUV sooner than later. That was about a year ago; haven't heard a thing since. Pausing production of the Durango and the Grand Cherokee.
  • Ford took an early lead in EVs; now GM is surging. NY Times.
  • Ford to halt production of F-150 Lightning EV pickup trucks for six weeks. Reuters.
  • Ford CEO loves his Chinese EV. National Review.

Dividends increased:

  • COP (but somewhat disingenuous).
  • ABBV.

Nvidia blades: blazing saddles? Beth:


Magnificent Seven absolutely impossible to keep up with:

  • who is partnering with whom, and how those partnerships are changing; and,
  • tactical decisions vs strategic decisions. 

For investors, several ways to invest in the magnificent seven:

  • invest in individual tickers;
  • invest in QQQ
  • invest in ETFs like SCHB or SCHG

I've chosen the third option.
