Wait for price per shares drop further. Buy and collect dividends

Interesting: the dividend increased and the company repurchased $52.6M in shares. I'd say that stockholders are clearly more important than, say customers who purchased bikes that sump or have other long term unresolved problems.

“ U.S. retail sales were down 4.2 percent in the first quarter driven by continued weak industry sales which were down 4.7 percent“

Harley’s market share actually went up, lol.

Thanks for letting me in to the club!
Let me get my crystal ball out....

I see...wait, it's a bit fuzzy ( sorry, abit, cross thread points?)

Motorcycle sales down in the winter!!! I know, hard to believe!

Motorcycle sales picking up in the spring!!! There's a surprise!

Motorcycle sales way up in the summer!!! Who could have predicted that?

Motorcycle sales starting to decline in the fall!!! My god the world is ending!

If you need any more help with the obvious, let me know!

Your ignorance about corporate finance is showing.

By the way earnings were UP.
