Default Buy a Harley for $33.92, no really...

Harley's stock shares (HOG) fell to $33.92 today, which is getting really close to it's 12 month low of $32.18. If you've ever wanted to own a part of the MoCo tomorrow may be a great chance to buy dirt cheap with good prospects of earning a serious return. It was as high as $75 just over a year ago. Own a piece of the company, then you have a legitimate right to bitch about whatever you want.

Greetings,

Yes it's a decent buy, but I think it's going to hit $30 before starting to go back up. I see a top end of around $40 for it. Harley just has too many issues going on and the people buying bikes for gas are going metric due to the cost and ease of manufacturer financing.

Want to see the stock and profits skyrocket? Here you go: Harley needs to build a scooter (yes a scooter). You'd be surprised at how many they would sell and new people buying into the Harley lifestyle. In fact, scooter sales have tripled this year and Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda can't produce them fast enough. Harley Financial Services needs to offer a discounted rate program. 0% for 12 months then 9.99% for the 4 years after that. Or, a flat 2.9% for 60 months. Metric manufacturers are doing this and are doing quite well putting units on the road.

Oh...I almost fogot...Yes I can make these statements as I am a stockholder.

Default stock drop

Harley stock is less than half from last years price and there going to cut production?? Doesn't seem like a good business decision.

Greetings,

It's a step in the right direction. Dealers are crying at all the 2008's that are still left over and the market has softened dramatically for them. I don't know about the dealers in your neck of the woods, but the ones around here have plenty of 2008s left, with the exception of Sportsters and Rockers.

Nah, it's in my IRA so it'll be at least 30 more years before I can sell it. All the stocks in my portfolio are way down today, especially HOG which makes it a great buy. Stock market's tanking? Awesome! It's like a fire sale for my retirement account!

Scooters will do for Harley what the Cimarron did for Cadillac.

TIP: Right now... Only buy stocks that Warren Buffet buys. That would be GE or Goldman Sachs. He's a smarter guy than me. If you want to own more Harley, buy another bike. It's a better investment.
