Toyota Motor Corp. (TM)

Toyota went on a wild ride last week and gave investors a positive return on their investments. The price started at $179.43 and made a quick jump upward on Wednesday to reach $180.92 on the way to a bit of a higher price. The start of Thursday set a new low for the week at $180.29 before recovering and settling to the closing bell on Friday to give investors $181.34 per share.

General Motors (GM)

The week started at $53.95 for GM as this stock made a bit of a tour up and down the price range. This company is one of our stocks because of its longevity and proven positive record. The price hit a high point on Thursday as it reached $54.91 before it settled back down a little. The final price ended at a low point for the wed as the bell sounded and the price was $53.66.

NIO Inc. (NIO)

The price slope for NIO was steadily downward, giving investors a reason to worry a little. The price began the week at $45.94 and never hit the weekly low until it reached the end and the closing bell rang. Along the downward slope, there were a couple of upward swings, which gave investors hope, but the final price of $41.03 offers nothing but worry for those who have their money in this Chinese EV company.

Ferrari (RACE)

We saw Ferrari begin the week at $222.52 but this is one of our stocks that made some big moves later in the week. The price moved slightly upward through the week but made a huge jump upward on Friday. The high point was reached at $227.23 shortly after the opening bell on Friday and it settled a little to a closing bell price of $225.74.

One of the companies that had an up and down week was Honda. The price of a share began at $32.66 last week before it jumped to the high point of the week on Wednesday at $33.20. The price fell off the cliff when Thursday began before it worked its way to the final price of the week. The low point was hit at $32.46 on Friday and the closing price came in at $32.56.

XPeng Inc. (XPEV)

It might be systematic of what’s happening in China, but XPeng Inc. showed a downward slope from the starting price to the closing price last week. This is one of our stocks and we hope the company has a recovery soon. The starting price was $43.26 and the final price came in at $40.15. Along the downward slope, there were a couple of upward trends which may have given investors some hope.

Ford (F)

Ford went through a typical week with a low starting price, a high in the middle, and a lower closing price. The starting point for Ford was $13.74 and the high point of the week was reached on Thursday at a price of $14.03. The price slowly moved down during the rest of the week and the lowest point for the week was also the closing price which came in at $13.59.

Magna International Inc. (MGA)

Magna was one of our stocks that took an up and down approach to last week. Had you known that beforehand, this would not be a stock you wanted to invest in. The starting price came in at $84.65 and the high point of the week was reached at $86.74 at the start of Thursday. The price moved back up and down a couple of times to reach a closing price on Friday at $85.94.

CarMax Inc. (KMX)

CarMax experienced a slight upward move from the opening price but then went down the rest of the week. The starting price was $132.90 and the high point was reached on Tuesday at $135.81 before the downward turn began. The price didn’t find its low point until the closing bell on Friday when the price reached $128.09. We’re hopeful this stock will bounce back this week and give profits back to investors.
