Options on US AutomakersFeb 21, 2012
www.ProfitableTradingTips.com - Options on US Automakers - The most recent Detroit auto show was a smashing success. Car makers whose very existence was in doubt a couple of years ago are selling more and are presenting the public with line after line of impressive vehicles. Now, what does this mean for those interested in trading options on US automakers? Cars like the plugin hybrid version of the Ford Fusion deliver the equivalent of a hundred miles per gallon. Detroit has re-learned how to make vehicles that appear to the American public and that does not mean gas guzzling monstrosities doomed to fade into oblivion as fuel prices rise. What this could well mean for the US auto industry is a rebirth. What it could mean for the trader who uses fundamental as well as technical analysis to evaluate auto stocks is profits. Who are the players for those interested in trading options on US automakers? The so called "Big Three" used to be General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. However, both General Motors and Chrysler had to be bailed out during the early stages of recession. Fiat ended up buying Chrysler. Even prior to the recession Toyota passed General Motors in total cars sold to become the world's leading auto maker. All of this may have import for the long term investor who lost out as two of the Big Three faded. But, for the short term trader, especially those interested in the options route, the questions have to do with the future and the degree to which American ...

Investing in US Auto MakersFeb 21, 2012
www.ProfitableInvestingTips.com - Investing in US Auto Makers We posed the question last fall, "Is GM a good investment?" In fact, is investing in US automakers in general a good idea? Most recent sales figures would indicate that this might be the case. The Chevy Cruze is now the bestselling US car and Chrysler's Jeep Compass sales went up nearly three hundred percent. Meanwhile Japanese car production is hampered by the lingering effects of the worst earthquake, and subsequent tsunami, in the nation's history. General Motors is projecting total sales for this year of over thirteen million vehicles. Investing in US automakers would seem to be a good idea, at least in the short term. GM is still in the early days after its recovery from bankruptcy and Japanese production will likely stay low for some time while the nation finds ways to increase electric production lost when several nuclear power plants were damaged by the tsunami. With the prospect of fewer Japanese exports to the US in the near term US auto makers could reclaim part of their lost market share. But, will investing in US auto makers be profitable over the long term. The auto industry in the US is largely to blame for the position it finds itself in. As foreign auto makers invested in the technology for more efficient manufacturing and more fuel efficient vehicles the US auto makers made bloated profits selling oversized vehicles. The apparent disconnect from reality that plagued the Big Three was ...
