nah. calls are the play. best case scenario is they have patents at such a level that other companies cannot replicate the functional aspects of that software without encroaching on F's patents. All automakers & dealerships will want this function, so they'll license F to supply it. Will reduce manufacturing costs by reclaiming delinquent payee's vehicles and reselling/repurposing them. Imagine how psyched a dealership would be to sell the same car three or four times just by pressing the "return home" button.

The average person isn't so regarded that they go into a vehicle purchase with the intention that it gets repossessed. It takes a special kind of regard to do that. Calls it is

Lots of regards out there so yea you’re prolly onto something but the real technique is inverting this sub and everyone’s saying calls…

I think Ford trades with such little price movement, that neither calls nor puts are likely to print. They are probably more of a stock to actually buy shares as opposed to options if someone is long on them.

Yea just checked it out. They seem to be in a steady decline but yea daily volatility doesn’t seem like much. Certainly way more puts than calls currently
