<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 10071259, member: 112&quot;]You&#039;re trying to apply &quot;whys&quot;, reasons, for market movement. And, trying to break the market down into segments - as opposed to looking at the market as a whole. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can do either one and or both. And sometimes one needs to do that, depending on their personal collection focus, AND their reason(s) for collecting.

So no matter what your why is, theirs easily could be and probably is quite different. <u>And one must also always remember that before anyone can buy - somebody has to be selling !</u> And the &quot;whys&quot; for buying are simply bound to different from the &quot;whys&quot; for selling. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I say forget trying to figure out the &quot;whys&quot;, because it&#039;s all too easy to be flat out wrong. Instead, focus on the market trends, and let that be your guide to helping you make decisions. The trend is what it is, regardless of direction. As the old saying goes, the trend is your friend. The &quot;whys&quot; - not at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course doing any of this only matters if one is concerned with money - profit and or loss. Because if one is collecting coins because they like them, then none of this matters. But I will admit it is sometimes comforting to at least be aware of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
