<p>[QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 637728, member: 18177"]I shed no tears for either of those investors of coins or Maddof klingons. No one reached into their pockets and stole their money, they put it out there where it's all laid on the "crap" line. Face it , it's "gambling" plain and simple. They played the odds, and lost. Now I'm not condemning anyone for taking a shot, but it was their decision ultimately to go "all in". Greed is not on my personal list of the seven deadly sins. I have purchased tangible assets with the intention of making a profit, but I did so, knowing full well the possibility that the market winds may change unfavorably, but i'm not going to start screaming "thief" to the seller if they do.</p><p>I have purchased some fairly rare/scarce High Dollar pieces from time-to time, some did good, others did not fair so well. I solicited opinions (pro and con) from those I consider to have a far better pulse on the market. Again, i'll say the final decision was all mine as are the gains or losses. Loosing a few times can be a great teacher if the individual is willing to recognize what their responsibility is. Never make large investments without consultation, and not just from those who think the way you do, but opposing opinions can be the most valuable ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
