alternative investment

SwK

Another strategy for the future for your 401’s – collect money (old coins) & banknotes - I am British therefore I write about the subject I know. You might get a surprise on the yield over 10+ years. See the NON COMMERCIAL site to enjoy the ART OF COINS www.petitioncrown.com

If you could choose only one alternative investment, which of the following would it be?

Now compare 5 - 10 - 15 - 20 year returns for each category against the mutual funds. I think you'll find the funds have a better return on investment.

I don't know about funds, but...

U.S. equity performance(S&P 500) YTD +16.44% 1 Year +30.20% 3 Year +13.20% 5 Year +1.05% 10 Year +8.01%

But SwK is talking alternative investments, meaning not bonds and equities. Know when to hold em and no when to fold em if investing. Luckily I don't consider my coins an investment just a collection, and if my heirs can get something for the collection good on them.

Art...arent coins art...solved
Automobiles...with the price of cars today 19% would cover the cost of a new car.
Coins....Not bullion...
Horses as an investment...if your breeding maybe....owning for pleasure, money pits. Had a few as we were growing up on the farm. They were fun but not worth the hassel.
Wine...yeah I could build up a stock pile I guess. I dont get joy out of $200 bottle wine, but dont mind spending 15-50 on something really enjoyable

Ive purchased many guns...most any I could sell for a profit at any time. Always in demand.
