The Ford Motor Co. (F) calls I recommended look even stronger than I initially suspected. Great. In the run up to the big tariff announcement, F traded well above $10 roughly every other day in the last five-to-six weeks. So, there’s plenty of historical precedent that we can hit that price again at least once in the coming month, writes Hilary Kramer, editor of High-Octane Trader. The 200-day trend is still up at a healthy $10.10.

There is a gob of Play-Doh newly enmeshed into my bedroom carpet. Normally this would set-off a material increase in tempers while I mentally calculate how much this is going to cost me. But it could be worse. It’s not like they made a $6 trillion mess for someone else to clean up, observes Amber Kanwar, host of the In the Money with Amber Kanwar podcast. Citi’s US equity strategist says 4,700 is where the S&P 500 would be fully pricing in the impact of tariffs (7% lower from here).
