Hi Robert, and thanks for trying to spark this beloved thread.

I agree - I think new car sales are a key barometer for the health of the economy and they are falling off of a cliff of late. We are completing a perfect boom/bust cycle straight out of a textbook.

Cummins Engine was forecast just a week ago to earn $4.00/share next year and now they are forecasting a loss of .50 and curtailing production.

I look back and laugh at the fools who argued less than a year ago that the business cycle as we knew it had ceased to exist thanks to the 'new global economy.' Har Har Hardee Har Har.

Hard lesson!
