Ford Motor Company is likely to make a comeback

Ford Motor has been lagging in the past few years. Overly-conservative management, a product line relying too heavily on truck sales, a reticence towards electric vehicles: the company was simply going too slow for its time. Fortunately, this should be about to change: many analysts predict that its new alliance with VW announces a shift to EV for 2025-2030. We'll need to wait earnings and future projects announcements, which will take place on April 5th.

ETF: lower volatility, lower returns

Professors Scholes and Black thought that one could outperform by simply buying stocks with lower volatility, possibly because investors systematically overpaid for more exciting, choppier securities. This strategy of playing safe and steady against a market they thought unbeatable seemed like free lunch. Could that really be true? Not anymore it seems. The "minimum-volatility" factor is one of the worst performing ones, leaving the stage to momentum, size, quality and value. What's more, min-volatility ETF are less volatile than others, but not by much.

Twitter is not match for Facebook at the same age

Twitter passed the 100 million users in 2011, before going public in 2013. However, Twitter's user growth started to slow, and the company kept bleeding money. In 2015, the stock price started to plunge, as people realized that Twitter was never to become the new Facebook (and it was never meant to be). While Facebook will always be on top of Twitter for various reasons, we must mention that the Twitter stock is up 400% since its May 2016 low.
