Bubble or no Bubble?

That is the question.

Well, here is the BMW Isetta that I saw last year inside the BMW museum in Munich.



A 1957 BMW Isetta bubble car?


Nein danke.


A 2013 BMW 535i M-Sport?

Ja, bitte.

That isetta looks more like its been placed like a trash receptacle, not a car on display. Weird place to stash it.

However, interesting way to take the thread thinking isetta. You ask me bubble or no bubble, the first thing that pops into my mind is Jennifer Lopez

The Fed has yet to meet a bubble that it will recognize as such......

When the Fed annouces they are easing, we should see a market pullback.........if that's the bubble you speak of.

Maybe, it's time to increase the trailing stops? And hope we don't have a bit of pullback for them to trigger?

Beemer?

The only BMW I have is a dark blue Z3, don't think I've mentioned it before....
That's my dark green E320 cabriolet in the pic.
