Jim, you're welcome.

Jim, some of us thought you had retired. And you need your Serialization book at work... are you still working with guns?

If you have a serious portfolio you may think of restructuring it in things that do not lose permanent value. I am in the process of changing paper into American iconic guns. I trust my judgement over my brokers.

True, that! A fine gun will never be worth zero, as some of my investments have.

I know guns are fun, and I have my share, but as investments....? You'd be far better putting your money in Exxon or Coca Cola or Apple stock.

As a diversity of assets fine guns are a good investment.

Just remember - your wife/kids will have to dispose of your guns at the end. They're probably not going to get full blast retail for them. After wholesaling them out, the appreciation won't look so good. Buy them because you like them.

What is the LOP of Coke or Apple stock? Anyone seen a point over Exxon stock? I'll keep the guns as an investment that I can use and enjoy. I never sat in the chair with an adult beverage and admired a stock certificate or a mutual fund statement, but nice engraveing and fine walnut are another story. When I'm gone I don't care what there worth it will be out of my control.

Hell, I just hope my wife/daughter don't try to sell them for what I told them I paid for them. That would really suck (for them).
