<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 398050, member: 13987&quot;]I don&#039;t mean to get a fired up but this subject really ignites my passion... Not to mention it comes up in so many of these threads.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t consider myself very knowledgeable. It is obvious to me there are some very smart people here, but sometimes I feel like the gospel is a little off. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure there is a fine line between investing/ selling/ dealing, but say for instance I ask for advice on doing a, b, or c for profit.... I don&#039;t want to be inundated with YOU CAN&#039;T DO IT.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has been a while since I read the start of this thread, but it was much of the same as the title implies &quot;retaining long term value&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now..... we all know that to be good at something you have to cultivate your abilities and your intuitions.&nbsp; Add to that some good advice, and some practice.... more good advice and a pile of books.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point being most people are not going down that road. I know most people never will do that; however, you can retain value, you can make money... So why not tell him &quot; hey guy if you want to get d, e, f, then you need to do a, b ,c?</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowledge is Power. I need more. So do lots of other people. Maybe someone&#039;s objective is to make money. Maybe that person will be turned off buy negativity, and defeatist mentalities. Maybe a little encouragement will spark the heart of a great numismatist. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for me.... like I said I&#039;m one of the people seeking more knowledge, but I will tell it like I see it. I might be wrong. I often am. I want to make money, I am, and I will. I&#039;m sure I will also add many more losses to the ones I already have. This forum is making me better off either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line if someone wants advice on something that can be done, the best is advice is not that it can&#039;t be done, or that it is too hard and most people can&#039;t do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve accepted I can&#039;t be Tiger.... Now I want to be a coin dealer.... haha just a little humor, even if it is as dry as Fannie May&#039;s bank roll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
