IMO, it would be foolish to buy until the first signs are there that it is going to go back up. No use throwing your money away in this economic climate.

Unbelievable the buys that are going on right now.

At that cost for HOG that is a buy. It is still a money making machine.

Today's close put HOG, $8, in great company. Wells-Fargo $ 8, Alcoa $5 and Hartford Insurance $4. It's looking that I'll be putting off my "BUY" until we see DOW 4000, if the markets are still functional at that point. Hope I'm being too negative.

We're doomed.

But you couldn't tell from inside the Daytona Ocean Center. ***** G. was all smiles and the bikes were all shiny!

Outside.....Very quiet. Slowest bike week I've seen for a long time.

5-6 months ago I thought at $8.00 I'd buy.
I think it's too soon now.
The $hit is gettin' deeper not leveling off.
We aren't near the bottom yet. IMO.
I'll wait another 3-4 months and see where we are. It's not like it'll take off and go to $ 20.00 in one week.

The first signs that it is going back up, is when it does, which means you just lost out on that gain.

Fact is, nobody knows how low it will go or when it will go up. At today's close, the dividend yield is 4.88%. That alone is a good return when compared to bank savings.

Like someone else said, it's not going to radically jump overnight. When the economy itself is looking better, and it just starts it's upward climb, that would be when I buy.

No way I'm buying a bunch of stock at 8.00 a share just to watch it dip to 5.00 a share, then have MOCO go out of business (not out of the realm of possibility here).

You have to time it right. Now ain't the time.
