<< <i>Will there be an Occupy Bourse demonstration by people who cannot afford Stellas and High Reliefs?
No one loves a good protest more than Longacre, but what are those people up in arms about? I still don't know.

To put it in numismatic terms, you have worked hard for The Man and put yourself into the position for you to own two Stellas and two High Reliefs. And that's not fair. They want you to keep one of those four coins, give the other three to them, and toast to your mutual good fortune over your brandy.
Their are apparantly also a large group of socialists who just want what everyone else has earned, but they want it for nothing.

I'm perplexed as Longacre with regards to that other subject.

Excellent job.
Explaining this to the proletariat is not a simple thing, I know. But you might leave Longacre
not appreciating the gravity of the situation to the protestors. It's not merely being denied the
coins you've worked for but then being expected to toast the loss with improperly warmed
brandy glasses.
Some working class stiffs might find these insults rather trivial but if you lack both a warm snif-
ter and a pot then it's easy enough to get up in arms.

It all about fairness. Is it fair that the top 1 % make the rules for (Themselves) and the rest of us 99%'ers which MOST of you are?

I don't agree with your premiss. Those that care can vote and run for office. Based on a poll taken at the Wall Street protests only 40% bothered to vote in the last election.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Here on the midwest coast of Fla chinese food means panda garden or something like that
However, thank G-d we cook!
Can't wait to return to the New Yawk coast of Fla where I know of dim sum places that serve real peking duck, all at a eat all you want price. They try to hide the dam things when they see me coming

<< <i> Those that care can vote and run for office. . >>
No, only a select few can even think about running for office.
Only people with deep pockets or huge corporate financing can run for office. You have to have A TON of MONEY in order to run.
That IS the PROBLEM.
We need Public Financing and Free TV time for political elections.

that's the problem.
they are looked down upon by "The Really Big Man" as "never going to amount to anything."
Then they protest.
In such a fashion as to make it seem the protest will "never amount to anything."
They need some organization and a platform with a mouthpiece.

I'd like to go to that, but the other half would never let me.

<< <i>Well, this was a useful Show thread - perhaps Errors should just give his error coins away to the rest of us 99% rather than try to make a profit (horrors!!) selling them on eBay. After all, if he's successful enough, he could possibly join the 1% and then he'd have to protest himself.
Dude, you have no idea how bad I have personally been hit by the worst economic times since the great depression.
I am a high end "Artist" my whole life and that is my chosen profession.
How well do you think "artists" have done the last 10 years ?
Ten years ago the internet bubble was in full swing and all they could talk about on CNBC was that "CONTENT" ie: "ART" "Stories" etc, and that is where the big money was going to be made.
Some of the biggest 1% Corporations got into "MY" business of stock photography and virtually destroyed the Market within a couple of years for the artists.
And then close to the worst of economic times certainly made things worse....
Whatever, I can't really do anything about it except start a Second Business with better cash flow, thus the Error Coin Biz.
It does ok, but I do not have the capital to by large collections and I am still a small timer.
In order to keep the two businesses afloat during these trying times, I have amassed some credit card debt.
I am now a slave to the credit card companies. They can raise the interest rate as high as they want because they make the rules with their lobbyists with their 1% power.
I have nothing wrong with people or companies making a profit as I try to do that everyday in two different fields.
Sorry for the rant, I am just one story of the 99% and I have not even showed up to rally yet.
Maybe "art" is not important for the American society, all I know is try my hardest every day in both businesses , while taking care of a 4 year old, and I am still locked in a Debtor's Prison.

I couldn't resist.
Seriously though, I hope it goes well.
That was cold..
<< <i>Anthony Terranova, Mr. Eureka, and a few others dealers were there. Some nice coins but mostly an event for paper collectors of all sorts, e.g. Autographs, stock certificates and paper money. Wasn't enough coins for me, had I known I would have passed. >>
Sounds like Wall Street was the perfect venue for selling paper.

I expect that there will be another show next year, and that it will be better. For anyone within driving distance of NYC, I'd recommend a visit.
BTW, I did take a visit to Zuccotti Park to check out the demonstrations. It was an interesting experience. Again, if you're within driving distance of NYC, I'd recommend a visit.
