Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) stock is staging a sharp drop on the charts, after the company launched a cheaper version of its Air sedan. The Air Pure electric sedan will start at $77,400 and be available immediately, and comes as the electric vehicle (EV) company has struggled with demand amid competition with Tesla (TSLA).

At last glance, LCID was down 6.6% at $5.20 -- earlier as low as $5.03 -- and hovering above its recent Sept. 25 record low of $4.97. Since mid-August, the descending 20-day moving average has guided the shares lower. LCID is now down roughly 24% in 2023.

Options bears are chiming in on today's pullback, with puts running at double the intraday average volume. Within the 52,000 puts exchanged so far, the January 2024 5-strike put is the most active by far.

How to collect 1 dividend check every day for LIFE

Did you know you could collect 1 dividend check every day the market is open? You could also do it starting with just $605! For me, I'm collecting 70 dividend checks every quarter…which averages around 1.1 dividend checks every business day. There's no trading behind this... no penny stocks or high-risk investments. All you do is buy and hold and you're set. There's no set up required either. If you start buying the dividend stocks I show you today... you could collect 1 dividend per day starting as early as this week. Click here for all the details.
