A whopping annualized gain of 382%.
WOT HOPPONED?
Did Ford CEO Alan Mulally annouce the best quarter for a decade?
On the contrary!
He said Ford lost $1.4 billion in the first quarter as it contended with the worst quarter
for the industry in 26 years. Excluding special items he said it lost 75 cents per share,
versus a profit of 20 cents per share a year earlier
So why the surge upward?
Ford is considered to be the healthiest of the three Detroit automakers.
The analysts surveyed by Briefing.com thought it would lose more or $1.23 per share.
Sufficient good news to create an upward wave of 16% in this dreary market.

Please Note Well:
In the beginning on April 6, 2009...
We bought 73 bonds. CALCULATION: $30,000 ($10,000 of which is margin) divided by $410.00
(price of a convertible bond) = 46 bonds.
Total investment = $29930
We started plan as a one half hedge. That is, we sold short 108.696 shares per convertible
bond, for a total 3967 shares sold short.
CALCULATION:
73 bonds x 108.696 shares per bond = a total of 7935 shares. So a one half hedge is 1/2 of
7935 or 3967 shares sold short.
Always sell short 1322 shares on each move to an upside sub goal.
Simply divide the total 3967 number by the 3 upside sub goals which then equals 1322.
Always cover ('buy in') 1322 shares on each move to a downside goal.
(That is, 3967 shares sold short divided by the 3 downside sub goals).

Gamers! Our long term goal on the upside is set at 66% (50% + the 16% premium) in this 'Live'
#1 Choice (April/09).
Follow along gamers! Our 'Live' #1 Choice (April/09) is chosen because it has the potential to be
another truly informative and entertaining selection.
