The stock market has become nothing more than a roulette table, and retirement accounts, like 401K plans, have cut the worker in half to almost all of the savings they have responsibly set aside for retirement.

Do you believe in the politicians and financial “gurus” who assure us that the hundreds of billions of dollars of “stimulus” that are printed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that are thrown like confetti are going to solve this? financial disaster in which we find ourselves?

The amount of money (read: our taxes, children, great-grandchildren) that the government is handing out is sure to cause a flicker on the screen for a short time, but then beware! The long-term outcome of all this may remind you of something that happened in the history of Rome.

I took my money out of my 401K and bought collectibles. Now I have something tangible that I can hold in my hand and admire, it does not have the potential to go down to zero value, I can enjoy looking at it or in many cases using it, and then selling it at some point in the future. future for a good profit.

You can start investing in collectibles right away and at any dollar level, whether you have $ 100.00 or $ 1,000,000 to invest, there are collectibles for any interest you can think of. Some of the most popular areas of investing in collectibles are coins, stamps, antique furniture, art, rare books, autographs, and even classic cars are good investments now.

With many, this soon changes as they develop a love for buying and selling collectibles and end up making a business and career with collectibles.

There are no guarantees in life, but I know: I will take a document signed by George Washington or Abraham Lincoln for an equal dollar amount of first class shares each time!
