I was going to start by saying that even though the vacation is months away or that long weekend getaway isn’t even on the books yet that there were a few things you could do to have some fun. I knew I had certain rituals to make a Wednesday seem special (it’s a bottle of champagne enjoyed with a roasted chicken), but when I posed the question of Facebook it became an entirely different post.sitehttp://buytadalafilau.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34323687.post-86255855680983760472012-08-23T22:31:05.847+01:002012-08-23T22:31:05.847+01:00SEPM says,

If you were to say with global growth on the wane and some easy overleaveraged targets popping up in Asia ,which has been a bulwark for Lux ,now might be a good time to stop basing forward earnings estimates on prior years then I could go for that as a basis for correcting what has been a very lucrative cycle. Other than that though ,I'm with Abee,it's a tribal thing for people to aspire to be distinguished from the crowd.<br />Moreover the people most likely to be in that group don't come with wafer thin skin that cares that much about popular opinion. That is of course different from being in a localised group who have a taxmans target painted on their back and are taking temporary evasive action.<br /><br />In a broad sense this concept has been in play for quite some time anyway. It's present every time a multi millionaire upsticks and relocates to Singapore because he knows his current enviroment makes him a potential target.Ditto Russia etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34323687.post-81660469757076358782012-08-22T14:11:03.743+01:002012-08-22T14:11:03.743+01:00Depends on how you define luxury too TMM, I mean, ...Depends on how you define luxury too TMM, I mean, (with respect and all), a brand new BMW 530i is seen as very luxurious by many people but is a bare necessity for many a market punter and broker in the City and NYC.

The lux sector is over-bought and near top of valuation (from the few companies I looked at) <br /><br />but I dont think longer term the trend of people wanting to show off will change that much. Women always like nice stuff, and there are millions of douche bags around to buy overpriced 'status' symbol items. Sure the trends might change from watches and slick cars, to cool electric cars built be green nerds and iPhones, but people will pay, what else are they gonna do with their paper money?abee crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320039155613443039noreply@blogger.com
