Who would have ever thought you could buy HD stock for $9.00 / share

DCFIREMANN · « **Reply #1 on:** March 02, 2009, 04:08:21 PM »

ME!!!!!! When it went public you could buy it for 7.00 a share. But that was a long time ago. It is really funny I know a guy who bought 1000 shares when it first went public many years ago. After all of the splits and the dividends he reinvested it was worth well over a mill just a few years ago. Foolish guy that he is, last time we talked about the stock I told him the hay day was over and he better think about cashing it in. HE DIDN'T and has lost a lot of money

It ain't going bankrupt unless this recession goes deep into next year.

I actually think - and I'm no expert - but this is getting close to what I think is a good buy, barring any ridiculously bad news thats coming. I dunno?

it will be below $2.00 by summer!

I don't own any HD stock, but I'm thinking of buying some. I hope it doesn't go to $2 before summer. That would be very bad news for the MoCo.

1,000 split 6/90 2 for 1
2,000 split 6/92 2 for 1
4,000 split 9/94 2 for 1
8,000 split 9/97 2 for 1
16,000 split 4.00 2for 1
32,000 shares closed today at $9.09 or total $290,880.00 on a $7,000 investment.

Still not bad, but I understand, if he had only cashed in anywhere north of $9.

OK, here's the ball buster, November 20, 2006 $74.93 per share or $2,397,760.00, yup that is truly a pisser

drats! My plan is foiled!

It may not be the bottom, but I'll bet a bit of my disposable income on the chance that it is close to the bottom - and in a few years I might be glad to have picked up a bit. What's that term er...... dollar cost averaging or something or other.....

hehe... I'll risk it and accumulate a bit in the next few weeks and months....

We have a local bank that has traded strong for years and was under $5.00 so a guy started buying it, got cheaper and he bought more a little cheaper just the other day $2.75 bought more.

The bank got a C&D order from the Fed yesterday, $1.04.........hope he didn't buy much.

Does anyone remember or know the book value of each share of Harley back in 1990 before all the splits? It would seem like there is 32X the number of shares today than in 1990. I am trying to find today's books value.

I would stay far away from any consumer discretionary stuff. Far away.

All I know is that I was trying to 'time the bottom' and shoulda pulled the lanyard when it was at or below $9 bucks a share. I'm not sure it's gonna 're-visit' that level. Who knows when people will regroup to levels to resume buying these expensive vehicles.

I bought 1000 shares at 9.25 and 1000 shares at 8.22 for an average price per share of 8.76. As of yesterday's close at 14.16, I finally got the MOCO to pay for the cost my rebuilt motor, with a little left over for the chrome fund!!

(but, of course, I plan on hanging onto these shares for awhile, so they can always take it back...

I'll hope for everyone's sake that they don't come and get any of your money, the more stable the market remains the better for all of us.

If you can watch the put/call action on yahoo or something, it is a tell as to how the short term action may be.
The vix, volatility index of the market cannot get solid..A traders market, realize and take your profits...
Pay your short term gains and drink good wine

I am out of all comsumer discretionary stocks for now...
All of it...if I can't eat it, wear it or burn it, I don't want it...

Happy trading!

I'm pretty diversified overall... I'll let it ride... If it tests the low again, I'll pick up some more. HD is not an $8 or $9 dollar stock long term... I have a standing sell order to protect the downside possiblity...
