<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 443337, member: 4626&quot;]My stock in Crocs went down, and I&#039;d lose about 60% of my investment if I sold it now.&nbsp; I&#039;m hanging on though, because I expect when the economy turns around, they&#039;ll recover... their financials still look good and while their sales are lower than they used to be, they&#039;re not <i>losing</i> money!&nbsp; I&#039;m even buying more of their stock; their stock is at a bargain price, if you have faith that it will eventually go up again.</p><p><br /></p><p>The few gold coins I own actually went <i>up</i> in value, probably.&nbsp; Gold&#039;s still really high and a shaky economy actually helps the value of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>No idea about the rest of my collection; I don&#039;t intend on selling any of it anyway.&nbsp; Just like stock, you only lose something when they value of what you own drops <i>if you sell it</i>.&nbsp; I guess it&#039;s likely its value went down on paper, but that doesn&#039;t mean anything if I don&#039;t intend to sell it.&nbsp; My coin and paper money collection is a collection for its own sake; it&#039;s not an investment!</p><p><br /></p><p>If anything I plan to take advantage of the lower prices on some coins now to add to my collection while it&#039;s cheaper than usual.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Amen to that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
