I'm not an expert on art, but I didn't just lump it in with the rest; it's just that I'm constantly running into news stories about the peak of the art market, the huge prices being paid for Van Gogh and the like, was over 10 years ago. Now, it may be that one corner or another of the art market is going gangbusters but it's probably not 19th Cent. Europeans, at least not Van Gogh. But of course if you're unlucky enough to have BOUGHT Van Gogh, or ANY art that peaked in price 10 or more years ago, it's probably of little comfort that some other area did exceedingly well and as a matter of fact I do own several European equity funds. The point I was trying to make though, was that without inflation what good's an inflation hedge? Do YOU own gold, oil, or rare coins?
