Would that be the Left wing Liberal media you are referring to?:mad::mad:

i like the full version better, happy ending!!!

kev, that sea ray wasnt for you but the porsche aint for you either!!

If it was white i would have bought it :rolleyes:

As soon as the piece of sheize media starts saying the market is going up it will.... i hate they have that power.

Here is something to ponder, in 2007 you could buy a demo skid steer for just under $50k but you really had to beat up a dealer to get it that cheap but i could be done i found my old quotes, they went to $85k in 08 and list for $105k now, the used 07's because of how much a 09 is a reselling for $40k for a worn out one and $60k for a low hour one...........

Dam i wish i would have known!!!

I don't know man. I think 8% unemployment, rising foreclosures, and shrinking demand for consumer products sounds pretty real to me. Probably a little more than a scare. and the media is probably the last person that can take responsibility, since they will be one of the next industries to disolve with the disapearance of advertising revenue. They actually paint a pretier picture than what is really going on out there to keep people from getting really scared.

ya, you willis boys are known for your automotive prowess :rolleyes:

far as childress, that havin a floor plan is important to havin a store, that and adjusting inventories to the market conditions that are current, but just as the skid steer.... lack of competition is going to raise prices for those of us who want to buy things, so the guys who are picking up deals right now are going to really see big gains!!!!

Have you shopped up North where the market is really bad? I am sure the skids are bringing all the money down here since IKE.

I bet Sonic buys his stores....We purchased his last chevy store on 290, and turned it into a powerhouse.....

Explain this Mr. Treasure. For those that have never studied supply side economics. :cool-smiley-011:

My question is, How is lack of competiton going to automatically overpower the over saturation ot the unconsumed supply? When that happens, there is a radical drop in pricing until the supplier goes tits up. If that doesn't happen, where does your theory go?

If this is all orchestrated by the media, As soon as Deere and catipillar hit rock bottom, this is all going to majically be over, because they can hit the switch and instantly fix everything and all those closed down plants will all be back to work again and we can continue on.

Sure would be nice if some more of Sonic's competition just disapeared one day. Stock would move some more.

And to my next set of questions, Please have kinko's print this out and distribute to all of us tomorrow so we will know what to invest in besides Skid Steers. I know where to get one of those to build my bomb shelter.

Which market is that? The overstocked housing market that all the newly unemployed people can't qualify to buy with their new government aide. Orthe forclosure market that rich people who can buy houses, know that it is not a wise investment right now when their only competition is foreigh investors who are also having a pretty ****ty year. Or is it the stock market that no one wants to put cash into because the companies that sell stock don't have end users to push their product onto? Maybe it's the bond market because companies still have to borrow money to get through tough economic times and they will pay high interest rates to borrow this money. Good thing Harley Davidson just signed onto those 15% short term notes to keep their employess building motorcyles that aren't selling right now, and ultimately go tits up like everything else and then the really cool bonds you are holding aren't worth the paper they are prnted on anymore. How about the municipal bond market, because foreclosed and bank owned properties historically allways pay their maintenance fees and county assesments.

All controlled by the media? How?

Everything will turn around gradually just like it allways has during a recesion and it will have nothing to do with those that are to scared to watch TV because the Media might make you stick your finger in the light socket one day during cartoons.

In some cases it may be a good strategy to take some of your stock losses in companies that may not have a future, write off the loss, and get into a fidelity money market thats secure and paying 3.73% not a bad move if things should happen to get worse.
