maat,
da sich Stanley Gibbons auch mit "Investments" in Briefmarken beschäftigt möchte ich Robson Lowe aus einem Artikel in THE PHILATELIST/OCTOBER 1978 Seite 13 zitieren.
"The use of such terms as an "investment portfolio" relating to postage stamps is, in my view, misleading. Stamps have been boosted as an investment on many occasions in the past, usuallay stimulating a collection fashion for a few years, which then collapses once there are more sellers than buyers."
Dann kommen einige Beispiele aus den Jahren 1890, 1900/1903, 1911/12, 1916/20, 1935/36 und 1946/7.
Weiter
"Basically, the only safe classes are the advanced and the specialist collectors who buy what they like and love, do not care a hoot about fashion ......, they get so much fun, pleasure and happiness that they feel it does not matter what they get for their treasures."
Und endet mit
"BUT I NEVER HAVE MET A HAPPY AND
SATISFIED PHILATELIC INVESTOR"
Robson Lowe war 1978 65 Jahre alt.
Ich vermute der Mann wusste wovon er schreibt.
Deshalb würde ich die Finger davon lassen.
