Only 50% are correct, but at different degrees. Those that are incorrect have little hope to improve on the G2 quotient. Then again, it’s a forum. Some are on Target. Others have built dream Castles in the sky. A few have actually moved in. Now I forgot the topic.

If you want free market capitalism then you should also be questioning why dealers are going out on a limb and selling only at MSRP. Without that piece of the puzzle, nobody would be flipping anything.
I don't question the dealers who sell at MSRP just like I don't question the dealers or private owners who sell above MSRP. That's free market capitalism. Creating value isn't really a part of the equation until capitalism makes a company so wealthy it can buy in quantity and offer the same products at a cheaper price. We, unfortunately, aren't in that position - yet - with the C8. I've got deposits at three dealers. One of them got me a May allocation and my C8 has a TPW of 8/30. When I take delivery of that car I'll get my deposits back from the other two dealers. I will put that money back in my money producing accounts.

Capitalism is intended to drive competition which benefits the consumer with better products at lower prices. What you’re advocating for is the opposite, where one buys up all the stock and resells for an artificially higher price for the good of themselves at the expense of everybody else.
I haven't advocated for anything. I merely pointed out a fact. Having dealt with you in the past and your "I'm always right" attitude and continuing posts trying to prove it, this will be my last response to you. Have a nice day.
