<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 24492780, member: 116145"]My investments are in mutual funds and stock. I've also invested in real estate in the past, I will observe that being a landlord has it's own headaches, but it can be profitable. I buy coins for fun, but I will say that buying good quality and interesting coins when the opportunity arises at reasonable prices (which are always changing) is unlikely to lose you money. I'm an opportunistic buyer for the most part, though I do have a "want" list for my current collections (Colonial Copper & SLQs). I have bought a lot of "junk" silver (and old copper) over the years to sort through for interesting and undiscovered pieces which has not only been fun, but it's also yielded some great (and valuable) finds. I suppose the Cherry Pickers Guide is probably the way to go for investment purposes, but even if you buy lower grade / details stuff, the rare and unusual has consistently appreciated in value over the last 30 plus years while I've been doing it. Keep in mind that markets are typically cyclical - and we're due for a downturn. The Fed and market makers may be able to engineer a "soft landing" and this weird labor market is pretty interesting and unusual, but I expect that a lot of things will be cheaper in the next year or two. One of my kids is looking to buy a house (in Minnesota) - and I'll cosign for him, but I'm urging him to hold off until next Spring / Summer unless the market drops further before then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
