<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 26640474, member: 1886&quot;]Just before the (very ugly) end&nbsp; to the Dutch Tulip craze 1634-1637 a Semper Agustus bulb with funky Broken Virus Colors was worth the price of a house. And it didn&#039;t even have a plus sign, coffee bean or even a&nbsp; WOW! on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I guess Tulip Mania is probably a huge cliche by now,&nbsp; but I find it fascinating how crazy people get when prices keep going up. Eventually, memories of the ending&nbsp; die out with the generation&nbsp; that went through it.&nbsp; And then it starts&nbsp; over again ie 1720&#039;s South Sea Bubble and Mississippi Bubble. I hope we fare better. I hope it goes to $1,000.&nbsp; I remember all too well the Flat Spin Brothers trying to corner silver. I even made a few bucks on it. But as much as I love silver I just can&#039;t&nbsp; trust that wayward wench.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/tulip-broken-viruses-variegated-colors-produced-breaking-virus-mosaic-disease-flower-247231935.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
