Which companies should one short during the upcoming bursting of the car loan bubble?
>>1035427
Invest in Repo
I could be wrong, but aren't car loans always given using the car as collateral ?
So unless millions of people default on the car loan and destroy the cars, I don't see how this is a bubble in the first place.

It is the same as the subprime mortgage crisis, except it is now cars
I need to buy a new car. How do I not get screwed?
>>1035645
Get a lease on it for like 2 years maybe,
idk

pay cash on an ok car, save money, when the economy crashes and everyone is losing their car, go buy the nice car you want for cheap.
there is a car loan bubble
there is another mortgage bubble
there is a bubble in sovereign debt around the world (lol $1.3 Trillion is a budget?)
the stock market is in a bubble
financial instruments and institutions are in a bubble
This bubble is not localized but worldwide
And you are wondering what stocks to short?
Kid where we're going we won't need any "stocks"
>>1035645
buy a used car, because you don't actually "need" a new car

Car loan bubble not car price bubble.
It means that your drugged out uncle who lives in a van by the river can go into a dealership and get a 2015 chevy tahoe

The big players (ally, Wells Fargo) don't make the predatory loans - the pink sheet companies are the ones that are doing this. And there's not a lot of profit to be had in shorting a $2 stock with <100 million market cap. And these are the companies that own tge lots too and repo the same car 10 times and sell it after each borrower defaults so there isn't a lot of risk as the price of the car does not significantly depreciate in the time frame were talking about.

Oh ok. So when it crashes, lots of late year used cars on the market, hopefully?
>>1035705
most likely in a collapse scenario there will be no entity to go repossess the cars
in a collapse people will protect their possessions with lead
what you should be saying is that there is a debt bubble
>>1035528
With millions of used cars flooding the market you don't think prices on used cars will drop significantly?
>>1035690
car loan =/= car price

You know, I see an awful lot of fucking car commercials, but don't know anyone who's buying cars. The price of a car is like a year's salary millennials these days.
I hate that they're a de facto requirement of life in America; need a car to take you to your job that pays for your car.
