Will Harley Davidson (NYSE: HOG) Stage a Comeback?

Harley's Future as an Investment


At the end of July, Harley-Davidson reported second-quarter results, and it was a bloodbath. Sales slid and profits suffered a 20% drop.

None of this is surprising to Harry and me. In fact, we knew well before 2006 that the company would fall from grace because we knew its target audience and what they would be doing over the coming years.

As we'd forecast during the 1990s and early 2000s, in 2006, when Baby Boomers were mostly done with their midlife crises, Harley Davidson rolled over. Since then, the company has struggled to find its way. It's targeted new audiences, international audiences, younger audiences, even women, in an effort to regain traction.

All to no avail. It has been like fighting a tidal wave with a bucket.

Will they eventually win or lose?

Listen to today's video to see whether Harley-Davidson might be about to see a change in fortune once again.

A Ten-Bagger in Every Seven Cannabis Trades was possible?

Many cannabis investing strategies claim huge winners, but Adam O'Dell's is unique. It could make monster gains seem routine. His 15-year backtest shows he could have spotted 82 gains of 1,000% or more, or an average of one every seven trades. No wonder it could have been possible to turn a $1,000 investment in all positions—winners and losers—into a $3.5 million windfall over the long term! For a special briefing on Adam's just-released strategy, go here to watch now.

I know it's in vain, but I keep Location Services turned off on my phone when I'm not using Uber or some other mapping app. In my head, this reduces the number of apps that can track my movements, and thereby removes just a bit more of my personal information from the amorphous cloud. Sadly,...
