I only read about the stock market but from what I understand the price of a share of HD stock has declined close to fifty percent this year. IMHO, a crash has already happened. Even a HD m/c doesn't depreciate that fast. But, like I said I don't understand all the intricacies of stock investment and I could just be missing something.

I’m pretty much in the same boat and hopefully it’ll bounce back before the end of the year, once I get back to work I plan on spending money, times like these change peoples philosophy on how life should be lived.

The last time I bought HD stock was in 2008 yes crash time, turned the profit a 2009 SG in 2010 that said thinking about buying again.

I have one for sale and if you act now I'll throw in free shipping ... If you have to ask how much you probably can't afford it ... Operators are standing by ( actually they're sitting ) waiting to make you a billionaire :>)

Hmmm... Maybe I'll invest in Harley stock if it does drop a bit more. Just need to wait on that check from big Don.

Harley stock closed at $18.67/share Friday, about one-half what it was worth a year ago ...
About one-third of what it was worth three years ago ...

By way of comparison, Polaris was a tad over $100/share in January; it closed at $63.33 Friday.

First world problems my friend. Many people don't even have 100k to lose. While I understand your pain, I'm recognize that stocks are a long term investment and I plan on leaving everything in so it can rebound (which it will).

only problem is that some of us don't have 'long term' to wait until we planned on withdrawing it to live off of.
