<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 638107, member: 15199&quot;]It is the last 2 that are really of most interest to me, as they are the effectors that will alter the previous ones. The 600 lb gorilla is the economy. Today the stock market was up a lot mainly on the interview with the banking expert. She indicated that the earnings this quarter will be very good as loan modifications and refinancing was going very well, but she mentioned that 25% +&nbsp; of those will default again on their new loan. She also said that 13-14% unemployment, maybe until 2012 onward is her suspect. There will always be those who buy and sell during bad times, but the collecting of coins for most will probably be more slanted towards moderns, mint products, or creative marketing of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Humans have a built-in collecting factor ( some more than others), and if they can&#039;t collect the high price stuff, they will collect pocket change. If they have to spend their pocket change for food, clothes, or heating oil, they will collect insects, rocks, or leaves. </p><p><br /></p><p>But since the Mayan calendar ends on&nbsp; December 21, 2012, it will be a moot point as the asteroid strikes China and ends the world as we know it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
