Alan:
I agree on the NFA weapons, and it is to the point that I'm reluctant to shoot mine. However that is an unusual, artificial situation created soley by the change in law, supply and demand. If the gov't. hadn't stopped the supply, would 1921 Thompsons bring $50K?
What about normal appreciation vs. actual buying power? I'm doubting that much has appreciated enough to consider a good investment. Maybe some artwork, of which I have absolutely no expertise or knowledge; I'm doubtful about P-08's; gold shot up but I'm not sure that given the erosion of the buying power of the dollar, if that is even in the + column. Farmland?
But I guess I'm rambling. And hijacking an otherwise interesting thread...
