<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1192039, member: 22602&quot;]It&#039;s not hard to manage mutual funds but aggressive investing, such as with PMs or stocks, takes a stout heart. Many people simply aren&#039;t wired, or, in my case, don&#039;t feel experienced enough to do it. I have a good head for math and have learned a lot about basic investing over the years, but without a solid background in finance I&#039;d be reluctant to be more aggressive with the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your strategy of buying coins w/ bullion profits sounds solid enough; I think the point is to buy with disposable income as I&#039;m sure most here do.</p><p><br /></p><p>With respect to passion for coins, I&#039;m probably in the far minority on this site: I&#039;m an artist (and professor) professionally, so art is my passion and coins a fairly small offshoot of it. To go further, as much as I enjoy coins—as visually- and historically-interesting as they are—the history of coinage doesn&#039;t hold a candle to the history of art. I always try to encourage people who consider themselves visually oriented to spend time in an art museum if they haven&#039;t, and some collectors probably do, but unfortunately, many people think an art museum too &quot;uppity&quot; or boring, both of which are rather silly misconceptions. Museums are there for anyone&#039;s enjoyment, they&#039;re often free, and you can actually learn something about yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to what I&#039;ve collected with my (modest) bullion profits, it began with MS64-65 Morgans and slowly morphed into an interest in a type set. It&#039;s been a slow process; I&#039;m taking my time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
