and if/when the recession (or even a mild economic downturn) hits, the impact felt by the exotic / luxury car market is HUGE.

Advocating for "Recession" just because a car is over priced due to ADM is not cool. A lot more people will suffer during recession.

The car, you either can afford or cannot afford.

Oh I forgot this is an economic/financial forum. Back to regular programming.

Drive safe,

This is an economist forum, not a Porsche forum.

I can understand if someone thinks a recession is right around the corner and does a bit of wait-and-see. But there have been people on this forum who have confessed to actively rooting for a recession just to see p-car prices drop, which is quite sad, to put it politely.

I've been heavily invested in bonds/fixed funds. It's in MY best interest for a stock market crash, economic recession. Once the market crashes, it's in MY best interest to buy large cap equities on the cheap using my fixed income funds. My investment strategy is dependent on others losing. It's not personal, it's business.

Oh... the irony.

The ultra-low bond yields you purchased have enabled companies to fund a record amount of equity buybacks since the crash in 2008/9. In fact, 2018 saw the greatest amount of buybacks on record. This has fueled the S&P to a 300% gain from the lows of the prior recession. No exaggeration, companies used YOUR money to create huge wealth for themselves. Afterwards, they pay you back par, plus the lowest yields on record. Their investment strategy was based on YOU losing and missing the entire bull market - the longest since WWII.

To use your quote: It's not personal, it's business.

Do you find this unsettling?

I fully recognize it goes both ways. As I'm losing others are winning, I accept that. That's why when the stock markets crash and the economy goes into the ****ter I buy low with the money I have on the sidelines. Each investor must do what is comfortable for their purposes. I have not been bitching as the stock markets have done incredibly well, but it always cycles and well the "worm turns"
No hypocrisy here buddy.

Unfortunately those RS’s aren’t close to MSRP. 30k ADM.
