<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volante, post: 2159486, member: 57279&quot;]I&#039;ve been thinking that it might be an interesting experiment to take $5k (maybe $5500, equivalent to the max Roth IRA yearly contribution), invest it in a longterm portfolio of coins, and see how it performs compared to the stock market.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t be flipping the coins on a short-term basis, as a typical investment portfolio wouldn&#039;t have that much churn.&nbsp; Rather, I would buy and hold for at least a year (if not longer) before selling.&nbsp; I honestly don&#039;t think I&#039;d beat the market, but I&#039;d be curious to see how it pans out. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you were going to try to put together a diversified investment portfolio of coins with $5k, how would you invest it?&nbsp; Would you split it up somehow, like 40% in coins with higher risk/upside (new Mint commems?) and 60% in &quot;blue chip&quot; coins with stable prices and more modest upside (common-date BU morgans?).&nbsp; Or perhaps a balance between U.S. and international exposure, with 70% U.S. coins and 30% world coins.&nbsp; Would you invest in a handle of higher-value coins, or a few dozen lower-value coins?&nbsp; Or maybe just put all your money into one basket with a $5k coin?&nbsp; Interested to see how people here would think through this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
