Here we go again...
|
Some interesting stats:
Half of all Ducati owners in the US also own a Harley,
The US and Italy each generate about 25% of Ducati sales, while Germany, UK,
France, Japan and the rest of the world bring in 10% each,
Then this, "I truly think we need to find an industrial alliance,"
and this little tid-bit too,
But D'Onofrio said it is his opinion that the company could maintain its
strong brand identity, even in the case of a strategic buyout.
I don't see Harley flush with the cash with all the dividends they pay, but
|
1.6% ?? And that's a new record for them. You jest.
H-D was the first stock I ever bought on my own because
I figured my buddy Bob could be my 'sell' warning. He is
the head salesguy at the local H-D shop, we used to
work together at a Yam shop when I was going to
school. Anyway, a couple times a year I'd go in and
say "hey" and shoot the breeze. And make sure to ask
if I could ride out with a big twin if I had the moola. Answer
was always "six months" or some period of time during which
they'd hold my money.
When, last June ( a year ago) he said "got a couple" I sold
all the HOG stock but a tiny bit for old times sake and the
divs which are pretty measly.
Go fast. Take chances.

who knows what they might do and what would happen to Buell?
|
Yeah been seeing lots on this lately.
Nobody seems to have mentioned Buell in any of these interviews/articles.
Interesting.
