Moom...that's an interesting response, on several levels. Here in the U.S., we haven't yet resorted to the barter system whereby material goods (i.e., art) are a negotiable substitute for cash....and yes, "American wealth" which many people seem to discount today (thinking all boomers and younger people are heavily in debt or downright poor) has much to do with capital accumulation by previous generations. LOL....I've been thinking lately we should all invest in scrap gold from jewelry and/or old silver coins--those may be the only things we can trade for passage to another state or another country, if we need to evacuate. <g> And these days, stocks are only "saleable and transferable", as you say, when they attract a buyer. Hey, are those stocks paying a dividend? If not, I'm not interested. <g>
