Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1336164, member: 112"]This thread kind of reminds me of a phrase often used by just about everyone when discussing just about any subject - "the good old days". Well, have ya ever noticed that the "good old days" always changes ? What I mean by that is this - today, now, when you hear someone say the "good old days" they are talking about a period in time that was when they were young. The time period they are describing can be anywhere from 10 to 60 years previous. But what about 60 years ago ? When people in 1950 used the saying the "good old days", and they did, what time period were they talking about ? Obviously it was anywhere from 10 to 60 years before that. And the same for previous time periods. The point I am making is this - the "good old days" is right now, today. It always has been and always will be. 10 to 60 years from today somebody, somewhere, will be describing the end of 2011 as being the "good old days". It's merely a matter of perspective. And Detecto, as other have already mentioned, the coin market is not what you seem to think it is. But to illustrate take a look at what has happened to coin prices in general over the years. The past year - [ATTACH]153303.vB[/ATTACH] The past 3 years - [ATTACH]153304.vB[/ATTACH] The past 10 years - [ATTACH]153305.vB[/ATTACH] And the past 40 years plus - [ATTACH]153306.vB[/ATTACH] As you can see, whether or not a person gained or lost is entirely dependent on when they bought their coins, and when they sold their coins. You have to be very, very lucky to get the timing just right. Otherwise you'll lose your shirt. And probably your pants too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
