Carnage ahead for this American stock?

If you own it, either directly or through a mutual fund or ETF, you may want to strongly consider selling immediately.................. [Chaikin Analytics] Dear Reader, If you own Ford Motor Co (F), you should know my good friend [Joel Litman just warned it's time to sell.]( As soon as Joel told me, I checked the Power Gauge and saw the stock currently has an overall "Neutral" rating – but if you dig deeper, its Earnings and Technicals are rated "Very Bearish." Not to mention, take a look at this weak trending Relative Strength curve: [But Joel's stock-picking system sees a lot more pain ahead for Ford.]( So, if you own it, either directly or through a mutual fund or ETF, you may want to strongly consider selling immediately. But please understand, this is much bigger than Ford... [Joel sees a massive event coming for the stock market]( – one that will affect even some of the largest, most beloved companies in America (like Ford). It's a big part of the volatile bull market I've talked about all year. And Joel may have the perfect strategy to prepare for it... [A powerful way of investing that has a long history of netting 100%+ gains – plus steady income – in exactly this kind of situation.]( Please see below for more details from Joel... Good investing, Marc Chaikin Founder, Chaikin Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------- Sell Ford (F) Immediately Nobody is ready for this, but it is going to happen... [Hundreds of U.S. companies will go bankrupt in the coming months.]( The remains will be broken up, sold off, or just tossed in the dustbin of history. And all kinds of businesses will be hit. Tech darlings... Promising, mid-size "growth" stocks – the kind you've likely read investment recommendations about... Even some of the largest and most iconic businesses in America. The victims will all have one thing in common: It has nothing to do with their industry... or location... or what product or service they provide. [You must know about this ONE easy-to-spot red flag, or your savings may be in danger.]( Ford Motor Co (F) is a great example... One of the most storied companies in history – a symbol of American greatness and the industrial revolution. These days, though, things aren't looking so good. The transition from traditional engines to battery-powered cars is not going well. And the major United Auto Workers union strike is pointing to much higher costs, even forcing the company to lay off workers. But those aren't even the biggest problems... According to our proprietary Uniform Accounting analysis [(which cuts through noise and B.S. in typical corporate accounting)]( Ford has more than $61 billion in total obligations this year. (That's money that has to go out the door to keep the lights on.) Yet, it has just $11 billion in cash earnings coming in. I don't think you need an accounting degree to spot the problem here. By the way, you can see this same, dead-simple analysis for any company in America using the most important new tool I've ever created. I just went public with it to help every American protect themselves in the coming bankruptcy crisis. [Until tomorrow, get the full details and claim FREE access through the special offer here.]( Of the $61 billion in costs... the overwhelming majority – close to $50 billion – is debt coming due. And that's not an expense that can be cut. Debt is a legal obligation. You pay, or you go bankrupt. Meaning that even if Ford could magically cut every other cost – labor, maintenance, facilities, R&D – to zero – it would still be underwater. And the next several years look exactly the same way. [It probably won't surprise you that my easy-to-read proprietary analysis gives Ford a series of 'D's and 'F's.]( Now, this doesn't mean Ford will necessarily go bankrupt... It (and many companies like it) will try to do what they've always done: Kick the can down the road by refinancing their massive loans. But here's the big problem – interest rates today are 5-10x higher than anything they've paid in the last decade! So, even if they can refinance (not a given in this environment) and don't go bankrupt, the company's finances could be destroyed by the new interest costs – and the stock could collapse. Obviously, I think you should not own a single share of Ford stock, either directly or through a mutual fund or ETF. But here's the key takeaway: [The SAME thing is happening all over America...]( companies large and small are facing the exact same problem: Massive heaps of debt coming due, with no way to pay or refinance. Corporate bankruptcy lawyers already say their phones are ringing off the hook. This headline (from July) gets the right idea across... But I have even worse news: The real number in the headline should be at least eight times higher – more than $4 trillion between now and 2026. [See all the details and proof here – some of these charts will astound you.]( This bankruptcy crisis will soon be the biggest economic story in America. It will be on the evening news. Retirees will be interviewed about suddenly losing everything in a stock (like Ford) they never imagined needing to worry about. And pension funds? Yeah, I think they'll face a world of pain, too. Please don't say you weren't warned. You must prepare for this period right now, today. [Luckily, there is ONE strategy that can not only protect you during this time – but that actually works best in these exact conditions.]( Regards, Joel Litman Founder & Chief Investment Strategist, Altimetry P.S. Here's another great example... Verizon (VZ) has $25 billion of debt coming due in the next couple years. And a big chunk of that was borrowed at an interest rate of less than one half of one percent. To refinance at today's rates means their interest expenses will go up tenfold. That will mean a billion a year in new costs, easily. So, I wouldn't touch Verizon stock with a 10-foot pole. You need to know about a whole bunch of similar companies...
