I don't get that excited looking at GIC papers on the kitchen table. Now put a 100 antique handguns on the table, that makes me smile. I think my investment to value ratio is quite good, and the Govt. doesn't get 25% when I decide to sell. (or croak)..
How to invest with firearms:
1. Buy at least two dozen guns from wherever and made during whenever.
2. Put them into large rubbermaid containers, throw some dessicant packs in with them, close and seal the lids with some weldbond glue or bathroom caulk.
3. Rent a digger to make yourself a nice big hole in your backyard.
4. Throw your firearm time capsules inside the hole and cover the hole. Making a little map with X-mark-the-spot recommended.
5. Wait at least 50 years.
6. Dig up the hole, best with the help of your grandchildren who wonder if you gone senile as they work those shovels while you stand over them smiling.
7. PROFIT!!!
