Comments on: The Only Investment that Doesn’t Go Down In Value http://www.financialjesus.com/how-to-get-rich/the-only-investment-that-doesnt-go-down-in-value/ Some people are rich long before they have money Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:33:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: mikey http://www.financialjesus.com/how-to-get-rich/the-only-investment-that-doesnt-go-down-in-value/comment-page-1/#comment-5982 mikey Mon, 10 May 2010 20:22:12 +0000 http://www.financialjesus.com/?p=1021#comment-5982 I'm with you -- how could that scribble possibly be worth much money???? My kid can do the same thing (being totally serious here, he could). And thus the real problem with speculative investment in art. There is not much rhyme or reason like there used to be. Look at the old masters, and why they are "masters" is generally clear. Look at some of the new stuff and it's a crap-shoot. It is not about superior skill or superior technique. Instead it is about being able to catch the fancy of the art wold elite. I’m with you — how could that scribble possibly be worth much money????

Otherwise, the most I'd pay for this painting would be $1, HECK I can make that myself actually.

Then again Car Insurance Phi has a point - only the rich can afford to buy art and amateurs like us don't have money. That’s an interesting idea – I’ve never thought about investing in art.
