Stupid money, smart money. People pay a million dollars for an autographed baseball. The man that owns it considers himself to be quite smart. As to melt value being true worth. You cannot eat gold, it is material vanity even as melt value. The market for collectibles is cyclical like any market, but has increased steadily over melt value commodities. Don’t you wish that you owned the first spiderman comic? That was stupid money in 1963.

• How many people pay a million dollars for an autographed baseball ?
• 17 tons of silver, do you know how many tarnished coins that could represent ?
• You don't need to eat gold. You trade it. It is a commodity.
• What did the first SpiderMan comic cost ? If you were one of a handful of people who preserved it, and sold it when it was in demand, you made smart money. If you buy it now, you spent stupid money.
