What do you think of the asset class lately??

May 18, 2006 11:27 pm

Buying?  I loved it a year ago.  Selling?  I love it now.

I'm hearing a 1000 very soon.

May 19, 2006 12:24 am

Maybe it will.  But I live by the adage that bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.

I love gold. I have a solid gold Rolex that I wear every day.

I guess that rules you out as a Jones broker.

You might be right Starka. I wear a Patek. A Rolex is just jewlery.

May 19, 2006 2:53 am

Yeah.  I knew where to get those from the Philippines.  Three for $25, if memory serves.

May 19, 2006 2:54 am

That is the response I expected from you.

Make a stupid statement, expect a smarta** answer.

clueless…

I agree. I used to have a stainless Nautilus. Great watch, even though it was a bottom rung Patek. In TX, we call the Rolex a "Texas Timex."

I wear a $100 Seiko.  I don’t need a substitute for manhood on my wrist.

The average millionare spends lass than $80 on his or her watch. 
Solid gold Rolex?  I love watches and I love Rolex, but solid
Gold?  I don’t think so. 



We all have our spots to waste money.  Mine is in my boat
motors.  I will spend $500 on a crome nut in the back that is not
visible.  Its kind of a strange addiction.

You got me there...the crystal is not gold, nor is the black onyx dial or the movement.

With “I don’t think so” I meant taste, not content.  I own a
Yachtmaster and a Submariner but I think the all gold bands and bodies
are too gaudy.  Your choice though.  I am sure you would not
buy a more expensive oil dipstick for you car motor, but I do.  We
all have our weaknesses, I just don’t wear my mine on my sleeve…err
my wrist.

When you talk like a teenager, it doesn't come across very well on the internet.

Fair enough.  I have today off and am wandering a bit.

May 19, 2006 3:13 pm

 I have a bayliner.

I have a $30 swatch. best watch I ever had. Owned a real two toned Rolex. After a year or so the novelty wore off and I sold it. Too much money for a watch. There is a great deal of neglected children in this world. To put so much money into a watch really says something about a person. I didn’t like what is said about me.

Very well said, EZ.

May 19, 2006 10:06 pm

Did you take the money from the watch as a down payment on the Porche you just bought?

May 19, 2006 10:57 pm

I like that.....
