my personal guess is stock prices this year have been very flat.

real estate in the high end - at least in SoCal is flattening out.

the concern about the election is negatively affecting top spenders - even if you vote for Trump, the trade wars he is threatening is concerning to all.

uncertainty is the enemy of growth for sure.

bmw sales are also negatively affected by lack of new product.

new Q7, A4 is out
new GLE, GLC, E CLASS, C CLASS (not so new, but still)

I would predict the rest of the year is going to be slightly worse than the 1st 4 months have shown us.
