[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 4084820, member: 36248"]I would mostly agree with this. Like anything, if someones dumb luck is off the charts, you could conceivably "time" things just right and get in and out with perfect clarity. Of course, 99.9999% of collectors dont possess this luck. So while someone with hindsight could point out periods to buy and sell certain coins that exploded in value, the reality is that it basically impossible to do this with any regularity. 100% agree. Stick to actual investments, or things like businesses that kick off a steady stream of income. I would also most agree with this. But only if you also ENJOY coins. If someone doesn't like the coin hobby, parking money in coins is still a bad idea, find somewhere else to store the value. OP, if you think of coins as a hobby where you can get back *some*, even possibly *most* of what you pay into it, you will be happy. If you think you will get *more* money back, aka growth of your invested monies, you will almost certainty be disappointed. In the end, its all about perspective and expectations.[/QUOTE]
