Is 15% gross return on your investments annually an obtainable task?
james j asked:
Ok, Is it better to invest in rare coins and speculate on thier numismatic value going up or is it better to invest in pre-1964, that you can buy at or bellow melt, silver coins and speculate on them increasing in price due to thier bullion vallue?
Also, if its better to invest by speculating on bullion value, is it better to buy silver coins at bellow melt or to buy bullion coins such as maple leafs, silver eagles, pandas ect?
My final question is rather or not it would be possible for someone to build enough wealth to retire comfortably in say 25-30 years by investing wisely in coins either for thier numismatic or bullion values?
Hello, Im 29 now and have just started in coins. My plan is to invest in them systematically on a monthly basis in hopes theyll increase in value say in 30yrs enough to have a early retirement. I would need roughly 150t to retire as my plan is to retire to the philippines and put the money in accouts which draw 20% apr in interest which is paid on a monthly basis. Also, I have looked into stock investments ect but to be honest the us economy doesnt seem so good and with are currancy beeing unbacked by bullion I dont see it improving this is why I started looking into coins as through my research Ive discovered that coins and bullion seemingly increase in value at a greater rate or equal rate to most stock investments and Ive read that bullion increases during hard times and can be easily liquidated much like stock.

What kind of investments are the best for newlyweds?
Newlywed asked:
My husband and I have been married for almost six months now. I think that we should start saving for our childrens college expenses but I don’t know what the best investment vehicle would be at this time. We would want to start out small until we felt comfortable. The plan is to start having our own children (I have one from someone other than my husband) and plan accordingly for all of their futures. How should we invest and / or what would you recommend in our situation?
