Vratenza Supersonic February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 Amazing. I actually have fallen into a kind of depression lately just by looking at the oil price up and down. But knowing someone owned a BMW earning just 2.5k a month, I am not surprised there are more such people around. I see my ex co went through rounds of retrenchment last year, now up for the next round soon with the current market situation, I really have no appetite for any kind of spending.

Exactly. Whether me or you or someone else buy a car/condo, it costs the same. Somebody has to pay for it, if it isn't the owner paying then it's probably the parents...

Penknife 5th Gear February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 This pretty much sums up the current situation. What a gloomy week. Right after mid night, I checked the oil price, it dropped back to $30 after last week's short recovery. Everyone worried for their job. No job, no money, no car. Simple as that. Fear is huge now, everywhere. This time it does not come in a big wave and then come straight to recovery like in 2009. Maybe those guys keep posting the news about showroom so packed with buyers etc are car dealers. For me, I never planned to get car, but due to job requirement, now I need a car. Even with car allowance, I still do not think it is the right time to buy a car now. Sigh. oil price drop is good news to consumer ma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I mentioned is even better. He didn't have any mean to sustain such life style. Got married, then got kids, but of cos refused to give up on his car "life style", rather feed the car manufacturer, dealer, and bank instead of kids. Some are just....

Carwoman 3rd Gear February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 Another assumption that you are making Why can't the middle income or upper middle income purchase cars in the past few years? Are you again assuming that these people cannot afford? i believe the assumption is for most people within each band to behave according to their income levels. This is quite a reasonable assumption. There will naturally be some who act differently- might commit more or hold back 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia7200 5th Gear February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 Yeap, the waiters out there, please wait till 2018.

If the stock market is dropping, do you buy or you look at the economy to make adjustment when to buy? The situation is true for a bull market, do you buy or react to the situation to purchase. Hence by saying just buy when you feel right is like not consider the factors and buy on feelings. Ask a question, does feeling right and good help you to make money from stock? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
