Participant[quote=felix]I agree. I think edmunds.com is fantastic. I have used other sites but I think edmunds.com offers the most and best info.
I purchased 3 cars since late January and traded one older car in. I utilized edmunds.com to help with the pricing and values. They also have some good info on purchase strategies and dealer selling strategies.
It’s great time to buy. Buyer’s leverage has never been better as far as I can tell. [/quote]
Edmunds is one source to check but lately I’ve been cross referencing them with http://truecar.com/release/index.html.
Just one more reference point.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=temeculaguy] BTW, the macanudos were out because I was sharing with non cigar smokers, one time I gave an arturo fuente don carlos double robusto to a novice smoker and he took three puffs and snubbed it out on the ground, I cried. Now I keep some macs and rocky patels for sharing (and some flavored ones for the womenfolk), plus having really nice library cigar provides me too much pleasure to engage in meaningful analysis and discussion, I turn into a blob of contentment.[/quote]
TG: Don’t bag on Macanudos, man. They are a good cigar, as are Partagas and Hoyo Excaliburs. All good, median priced cigars.
And, Les: Carlos Toranos? Really? If you want to talk high end, let’s talk Ashton Cabinets, Dunhill Reserves and Davidoff. Of course, you’re probably a blended scotch guy, too. Chivas, right? BTW, Wilson Combat is the way to go for a .45ACP. Those Baer’s are pretty, but functional counts in a gunfight.
[/quote]Oh my. Fightin’ words abound.
I find the Dunhills and Davidoffs overplayed and overhyped. Ashtons wise, I much prefer the VSG.
When I want high end, I pull out the Punch Punch, H. Upman Magnum 46 or a Partagas D4. ;-0
These days, I’m on the prowl for excellent cheap gars. Labels cost too much. I have housing to pay for.
Wilson Combat? Please. See above comments about D&Ds. If I really thought I was going to a gunfight, I drag along my Larry Vickers Special.

Participant[quote=temeculaguy]What happens after this wave?
……..
Exactly two months ago I sat in my backyard, drinking a 30 year old port, smoking a macanudo with some buddies and talked about my theories telling …
[/quote]There’s your problem right there. Macanudos. Try something a little more adult, like a Padron, Nestor Mancina, or a Carlos Torano Signature Edition.
I didn’t have the stones to go with homebuilders nor did I catch the 3/8 bottom. I did finally jump 3/18 but went with a couple of financials, chemicals, industrials, rails, a biotech bet, and speaking of bets, a couple of casinos. I wanted AA and MTW but ran out of cash. I’m afraid that opportunity is gone.
I’m on the fence as to taking the money and run, or taking a dare and waiting till next year to qualify for the long term tax rate. This might just get me enough to finish the house pay off, which is the huge bet I’ve placed. Sure I’d like the porsche, but would really buy a S2000 before their gone. Instead I just want the house paid off before I get laid off. :{
It’s a gamble as I think the rise is only temporary, I can’t pick is it a 8 week run or an 8 month run, but I don’t think it’s a long term rally. I’m looking at trailing stops now as a way of protecting what I’ve gained.
I just don’t think the great “un-winding” of leverage is done nor will it go as smoothly as some would have you to believe.
Stay hard, wait for the inevitable pull back, next time set an entry point and follow it. Hell, it’s only money. 😉
