<p>[QUOTE="Richard01, post: 43307, member: 2700"]As I asked originally, is there room for everyone? I never claimed that my system made sense, or asked if others would do it, it is just how I do it. And, it is working, for me. Gambling? All investments are, that is just plain fact. You can buy Microsoft stock, and lose a lot of money. Investing/Gambling... just a matter of opinion. My stock investments tend to the riskier portfolios too, and that should not surprise anyone that hears how I buy coins. Yep, I shoot from a hip a bit, and go with my 'gut' instinct. Which is prone to be wrong at some point. If so, no harm, no foul. No one hurt along the way, and I'll adjust my thinking at that time, I suppose.</p><p>Definitions of 'better deals' will vary, and mine shift slowly. Six months ago, I just wanted lots of coins... lots and lots. Now, I still like quantity to dig around, but am starting to really only keep things worth over a certain amount (that amount keeps creaping up) and suddenly I realize I really love the looks of toned coins and will pay a premium for them. Over time, will I likely settle in and just buy what I want? Yes, most likely. Then will it be investing? well, Its still collecting to me, but just something that I think has more chance of long term value, so investing has a nicer ring than 'obsesively throwing money at my hobby'. My salf water fish tanks had a lot of the latter statment in them... but I still loved them. No investment value at all. Now, I spend just as much, get all kinds of stuff, and actually am left with something fun and valuable. Can't be a bad swap, can it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
