[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 3343649, member: 57463"]How do you make money in oil? or software? or t-shirts? (Super Bowl tomorrow: did you miss your chance?). You have to know the markets. People make tons of money in this hobby. There is no single method or easy formula. You have to know the coins (paper, etc., etc.). You have to know the people, who they are and what they want. And you have to be able to get along with them. Just one example. When I was learning to fly, I collected world banknotes with aviation themes.

But it helps him to spot all manner of these rarities that other people miss. He can identify them, catalog them, and sell them to others who pay more. But know as much as you can, socialization skills are the key to market success. (And don't forget bookkeeping...) The school of economic theory called "Austrianism" suggests that entrepreneurship is ineffable. In other words, no formula exists to make someone into an entrepreneur.
