<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 254247, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not an expert here either, but have been collecting and investing for years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I agree that in some respects coins are an alternative to stocks - like bonds or real estate.&nbsp; However, when the stock market is doing well, folks have more money (or feel they do) and have a greater propensity to buy coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After the stock market melted down in 2000, folks were looking for some other place to put their cash.&nbsp; Coins and real estate were a couple of the options.&nbsp; Even today with the stock market doing well, there&#039;s a LOT of cash floating about and whenever that&#039;s the case, this excess liquidity tends to bid prices up - for all things, including coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, in short, yes I think the stock market&#039;s recent boom has contributed to the increase in coins prices.&nbsp; However, I think a greater impact has been from the excess liquidity available.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
