"If you want me to call you back and not mention anything about coins to your wife, let me know in your voice message"
Joe
A great deal, indirectly. I figure most of your wives are pretty much like mine.
When was the last time your wife said "Hey honey, let's get on eBay and look for some cool coins to buy."....?
Same here.
She never visits my eBay stuff unless she simply elects not to mention it and quite frankly, that would not surprise me.
(My wife is like a boa constrictor that lays next to the path where little bunnies travel. She lets you walk back and forth a few times
and think you're safe and then wham! I get nervous when she starts asking me seeminly innocent questions out of the blue. "So, do
you ever talk about me in your eBay stuff?" would send up red flags all over the place.......)
She, though, while never encouraging my coin habit, does recognice that a few moves of mine have kept us better off than a few of our
friends.
Two friends of ours, married doctors from Iran, lost $1,000,000 of their own money (the bulk of their net worth) and $1,000,000 of their
aged father's money in the stock market. Margined accounts. Everything they've worked for for 7 years. Poof!
A buddy of mine, a guy who defended doctors with me in the early 90's, had a portfolio of 1.3 million. Now, it's worth less than
$300,000.
Me.....my portfolio is mostly in coins and other old stuff, and is still stimulating me intellectually...and has not lost 3/4s or more of it's
value. And, just as importantly, rather than wringing my hands over the past 3 years, i've actually had fun and made a few dollars.
I think my wife recognizes that and gives me a little more rope.
(But, the most important thing is not what one is "worth" or how much one has made or lost. Those things are way less important than
many, many others.)
And, even if i were broke, i would still have a lot of fun collecting old coin magazines......and writing and taking pictures of other people's coins.

Notice the washed out area in the lower right:

on one of his own coin images about how difficult toned coins are to capture. I'll take the color
over luster any day, but when you can put them together in one image, it's a true work of art.

Too funny! Cracked a rib on that one.
