Years ago I took a class on investing and the stock market. One of our assignments was to pick a stock and chart the price and volume of the stock looking for a specific trends.

The idea is that you watch/wait for the stock to hit bottom and you buy it on the way back up. This also works to help to show when to sell a stock too.

I have also been tempted to buy some HD stock but I am going to wait until it starts to go back up. As far as supporting HD let them support themselves.

Worst comes to worst Honda will buy them and I'll either have to buy a used HD or a new Honda Davidson.

I won't buy the stock because of "passion". It's all about money.
I didn't buy JBLU because I like the paint job on the airplane, or the way it sounds. I bought it to make the almighty $. Sold it last year, tripled my money.
But to answer the question $ .99

You will probably get a lot of yes and no's on any recomendations made, but I use e-trade. FWIW...

Wish I had some extra $$ to invest. It would go to GM and HD. Problem is, no dough! Still trying to just make it through the year, pay land taxes on an investment property, and get the family through the holidays. Times are tough all over.

Pensacolaharley,

https://www-us.computershare.com/inv...la=1&theme=cpu

is the link to buy shares directly from their transfer agent. www.computershare.com if this does not work. It will also allow you to set up for optional additional purchases monthly (and dividend reinvestment).

The company is making more money then their dividend, high yield, and just bought out a company for a dealer network in Europe. Just my opinion, should be a reasonable investment if you have a longer term time frame.

I LOVE MY HARLEY.

But I'll buy Harley stock when Warren Buffet does. The man is a money machine. But I can give him advice on which Harley to own.
