It is nearly 3% now in New York trading...https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/FCAU

But Family-Control means "moment-to-moment", monthly stock movements don't really matter,because of what the business means to the Family, unless Family gets sick of management (AKA:Mark Fields of Ford).

[mopar22]

Wish chevy showed their monthly sale so we could see how the ram compares to the silverado. Other then that it seems to be going pretty great

 

[AlfaCuda]

The Stelvio seems to be gaining traction nicely.

Well it's great to be upbeat.. nothing wrong with it! I as much as anyone wants to see FCA succeed I have over $300K of their product in my garage.

But if you look around you can find people who understand numbers looking at the forward trends asking the same questions for good reasons.

Valid questions are welcome and understandable. It's the incessant complaining about literally everything.

"FCA won 13 quality awards!"
"But awards don't mean anything..."

Yet, the same people who dismiss quality awards are the ones who cite awards other brands have won. There's literally just bias against FCA from most people there at this point. I guess it gives them a way to express their frustration from other areas of life.

Nonetheless, we can be glad that this site has not suffered from the same shortcomings as the other one has recently!

Most of the post on Allpar are out of PURE ignorance of capacity... so bring a little Allparian negativity to the forum isn't needed. Most here are not lemming we are pragmatics, which is far different.
