jjense10 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 On 4-30-2014 Ford stock was up (.97%). My Ford stock account only went up (.18%). I know Ford went Ex-Dividend yesterday but the stock itself did go up (.97%). Anyone else notice this and/or understand why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swine77 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It is not common stock. There is also 1% or more of cash held for liquidity purposes. See page 26 of the tesphe.pdf in the benefits web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjense10 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 So, if 1% is held in cash then the return on any given day should be around 1% less. 1% less of (.97%)(yesterdays return) is (.96%), not (.18%). Something is wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is wrong here. Then if you know something is wrong call the TESPH hotline and let them explain it to you! Buy more stock no matter what!

jjense10 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I did. I got a call center in what sounded like Philippines and of course they couldn't answer the question. They wrote up a ticket and said I would be called within 48 hours. I do agree that Ford is a buy with things leveling off in Europe and China picking up. Just breaking even in Europe would add about 50 cents per share in earnings which at a ten multiple equates to another $5.00 in share price.

Marginal Economist Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 F stock closed on April 29 at 16.12. F stock closed on April 30 at 16.15. It was not up .97%, only .19% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjense10 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks -I was using Yahoo Finance which adjusts closes for dividends. I used another site which does not adjust and found that you are correct that the close on 4-29 was $16.12 unlike what Yahoo Finance which says $16.00. Thanks again.
