Default I predict....

April and May are going to be blow-out months for Porsche sales. OFF the charts. All the ingredients are there for MASSIVE sales:
--new Boxter
--new 911 (to most)
--recovering economy
--stock market gains (people feeling good, more money)
--pent up demand for years
--terrible winter, now spring fever

You'll see!

I owned some Porsche ADRs through the 90's (American Depository Receipts). Made a little money on it, but mostly a 100 share vanity purchase.

It's now called POAHY:US. (PORSCHE AUTOMOBILE HOLDINGS). Currently trading at 7:36 with a 52 week high of 9.02 and low of 4.64.

I have been wondering about this with the GT3 coming. Wondering if it would be a good time to move up. If the new ones are going to be that much in demand, the low mile current ones should get good value too. However, I will always be a MT guy.

Porsche Automobile SE will net you a position in ALL of the VW brands, including Porsche. It is a holding company which owns 50.7% of the shares in Volkswagen AG, which in turn owns all of the Porsche car business and the other VW businesses, including Audi, etc....

EOQ was ridiculous at the local Porsche dealership here, I stayed away. One of my neighbors who is the sales manager said they are already up 30% on the year...apparently the economy's back (for high-end disposable income, at any rate).
