re: #299 albusteve

you can look at it anyway you want…people by land, gems, collectible cars…it’s all the same, minus your weird cynicism

heh I don’t think that’s why people buy collectible cars.

In general people invest in that kind of thing when they’re betting against the economy. I still have a silver bar and some gems that my grandfather bought for just those reasons (he was a bit of a nut).

They’re not even actually safe investments since the values tend to fluctuate wildly.
