[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 21714, member: 57463"]You may never meet the dealers with the best records. You may never even hear their names. Conspicuous consumption is not for most coin dealers. When you walk into your office and you have to kick bags of gold and silver coins out from under foot -- bags that you own -- to get to your desk, you don't care what your neighbors think of your car. How much of the traded equities does the stockbroker actually get to put in his pocket if he likes it? Having loaded up, can he sell it, and short it? Conflict of interest? Insider trading? Reported sales of stock by majority holders? All of that is for the socialist side of the street. You think that there is a market in numismatic for "investment advice" but you don't take any? Well, neither does anyone else. You seem to think that you know a lot about "investing" and you probably do carry an encyclopedic database in your head based on your success in equities. Please, let us know how the transition to numismatics pans out.[/QUOTE]
