<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4519895, member: 77639&quot;]I agree folks that own a 5-figure coin will likely have enough liquid assets to last a few months.&nbsp; But the economic downturn will last a lot longer than a few months.&nbsp; Until the prevalence of&nbsp; covid-19 becomes very low, my wife and I will not go to a restaurant, theater, sporting event, exposition, bar, museum, etc.&nbsp; nor will we ride any form of public transportation nor stay in a hotel or motel.&nbsp; Mostly we go out for groceries, fuel (and use less of that these days), and to health providers.&nbsp; There are lots of others who will behave similarly. As many folks have said, the virus, not politicians or bureaucrats, will decide when the economy will re-open.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are plenty of&nbsp; unemployed folks who had a 6-figure family income and don&#039;t have a lot of savings in the form of cash or equities.&nbsp; But they do have monthly obligations and needs like mortgage, car loan, student loan, food, utilities, etc.&nbsp; Not many of these people live in a double-wide and drive a 2000 Corolla.&nbsp; The cash and non-tax-deferred equities will go quickly.&nbsp; Tough decision on the tax-deferred assets.&nbsp; In some cases, it will be lose the house versus less income in retirement.&nbsp; However, some of these folks do have nice coin collections, including some 5-figure coins&nbsp; ... had to have a &#039;89 to complete the CC Morgan set.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most will elect to sell the collection before they give up the house or tax-deferred assets.&nbsp; That&#039;s when increasing supply will depress prices.&nbsp; And I really hope I&#039;m wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
