[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 224032, member: 4381"]There is a big difference between stocks and any other "investment" with the possible differnece of real property (land). Stocks pay dividends and make money (of fail to make money) in the real world. Coins, Stamps, Comics, Baseball Cards, Bullion, timber, coffee et al - is ALL speculation on a commodity. Timber and Coffee have real consumption in the world. Collectables and completely a mind game. A coin like the 1996W proof is an aritfical scacity based on a manufactured collectable. These are always loosing propositions over the long haul. Its not like the historical and artisitc demand for something like this: [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=434&Lot_No=124[/url] or this [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=434&Lot_No=613#Photo[/url] Invest in Tullups.
