Really appreciate that. Thanks Terry. This is a nice thread. And I'll try and add value when time allows. Speaking of inflation, here's an OFF TOPIC post I did on another thread that may be helpful to folks who want to consider their various investment options in light of the emerging inflationary conditions: "Inflation fun goes beyond stocks Many attractive "real" assets have been in LT secular Bear Markets just like the precious metals. And they too are awakening into a whole new cycle of prices appreciation! The favs of the 70s that folks fled to to escape the depreciation of fiat paper dollars, bonds etc. Collector cars, coins, antiques, art, oriental rugs, high quality precious gems, undeveloped land, etc. One of the benefits of early identification of an emerging inflationary cycle is that there's a huge variety of exquisite personal property that you can buy and enjoy using as well as gain financially over the LT. High dealer spreads make ST play in the collectibles sandbox inadvisable. I've been slowly accumulating some of my personal favorites. Those of you on the thread last year saw me post several OT comments about high quality Persian and Turkish rugs. Also, because I used to be a dealer, have a large collection of precious gem stones. THE KEY is to stick with what you know. Don't go off on a wild goose chase thinking you're an overnight expert on antiques, coins or gems. We've seen plenty of that in the market from under the "Pooch Porch". lol Stick to what you know or where you have really good reliable contacts that have expertise. Part of the fun of successful investing is that SOME of the buying skills learned in the stock market apply to successful acquisition of other kinds of property. Good hunting, Isopatch"
