McDonald's. It's Difficult To Fight Strong Stocks.

Here is McDonalds five day chart at the close on Wednesday. Now here is it's three month chart. Now consider this. In two days the stock is up about twelve dollars. I often talk about Wednesdays being the one day in the week the markets can do reverals. Today the DJIA was up over four hundred points and McDonalds was down 60 cents. It dipped on the opening and came back a bit and then selling pressure came into the stock again on the closing. I personally hate McDonald's food. The internet has tens of Youtube videos saying their fries are poisonous. Yet I get it. But think about this. Whenever a new residential subdivision goes in anywhere in North America there is room for another one of their restaurants to go in. They just pop up and everyone knows what they are. Here now is a snippet I posted in a past McDonald's blog. After a lackluster trading session today McDonald's could drop in the next two days or at least on a Thursday afternoon sell off.

Will Fisker Survive?

Maybe. They have whimical t.v. commercials. I want one, but why they make claims to using recylicable materials in their vehicles is something I don't totally understand. Here is it's 5 year, 30 day and 5 day chart.
Image buying near the top and then averaging down? What a mess for existing shareholders. So what is happening now? Auto Trader in Canada has two used one's for sale. If the company goes under will replacement parts be available?
Fisker now needs more $$$$ to survive. Is the next step finding a partner and / or issuing more shares? Their product lines are strikingly beautiful and their name does have some brand recognition.Yet there is a big probem.
A loss last year of $762 million. That's a crazy big chunk of money. How did they get themselves in such a big mess? Now with the added bad publicity of potentially going bankrupt the path forward is even that much more difficult. .
Miracles have happened. Look at how Canoo, another struggling E.V. maker regained some ground this week.
Now this. Fisker Call options. They are pretty stupid to be looking at given that a drastic reverse stock split is probably imminent. Look at what happened to Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.
A one week pop the $.30 cent level would make these options double. (You can't go any further out that September Calls). Might Fisker rebound to $.30 cents per share? It was there only a few days ago. Guess what? It's not worth the risk. So what even if it does. The real money was made in shorting it months ago. Stick to Caterpillar Calls and Puts. Caterpillar is not going to go away anytime soon. ** A March 18th 9:28 a.m. update.
Now this.
A March 26th update.
An April 12th update.
The short sellers win.
