Wow Joey, I had no idea what a sophisticate you were - I mean - you speak two languages. How impressive. I know some Spanish too but Bill probably won't let me use those words here.
Let see ",,,but when I want to go after something, regardless of the price, the question of of what can it fetch later, never crosses my mind."
P.T. Barnum LOVED people like you. Said there was one of you born every minute.
"You're absolutely right, the seller usually wants to get paid by the investor or collector in the coinage of the realm."
Not sure what this is about. Did your broker call and tell you about that Enron stock that you just HAD to have regardless of the price?
I'm tickled pink or as you would say - "el tickledo pinko" Jon is happy with his new print but there is nothing wrong with NOT looking like an idiot since if the photo was a fake or modern print it wouldn't serve as a hole filler in Jon's collection now would it - even if he got it for free.
"I don't know about SOME of you guys, but I still get a great deal of pleasure of filling in an empty slot."
- Even if the slot is filled by a fake you paid way over market price for? What genius.
"Why I even like that more than sitting down and reading the Wall Street Journal."
Really? The WSJ has a comics section? The WSJ tells investors how be intelligent investors - you just recommended that others buy whatever you like regardless of the price so you must just stick to the comics. You might want to have someone read a few of those articles to you sometime. I'm sure you'll find lots of want ads from out-of-work investors who lived by your "buy-at-any-price" mentality.
