<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3156546, member: 19463"]I have an opinion and nothing more. In the stock market there are funds that select the stocks they hold to match exactly some Index of stocks (e.g. NASDAQ). They don't try to second guess the market but just buy what is needed to match the Index. I believe a collector could do a lot worse than to buy coins matching what Clio bought in previous sales. He does not buy randomly but has excellent taste. I somehow suspect that I would like the three coins that Clio overbid Barry on. Based on the coins I have seen him win (over me, over TIF etc.) I would buy a book illustrating his collection as a text of coins I would love to have (even in a slightly lower grade). If he were buying wildly and randomly, I would have no respect for him. If I had bought $1000 worth of Apple or Berkshire Hathaway stock the first time I heard of them, you would all hate me now. </p><p><br /></p><p>Who has Clioed Clio?
