Getting Out: Formulating an Exit Strategy

On this installment of Investibles (20 minutes, 9.5MB), Matt and Rob talk about one of the most important, and least thought through parts of a good collectibles investment plan: getting out.

Basically, if you do not have a plan for how and when you will liquidate your collectible assets, then you haven't moved into the realm of investing.

Tune in for information on how plan for the graceful exit of your investing strategy.

Are collectibles reasonable investments?

Here's the second installment of Investibles with Matt Schiffman.

This time we talk a little bit about specific markets (like fine art, or comics) that have shown a history of postitive return on investment.

We also touch briefly (to be explored in future installments) about specific risks involved in investing in collectibles.

Investing in Collectibles

Here's a podcast (4.82MB, 10m 32s) of a project I'm putting together with Matt Schiffman, collectibles dealer extrodinaire. The idea is to put together a series of podcasts delving deep into why and how you could invest in collectibles, much like you'd invest in stocks.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, but a way for those who have an interest in collectibles to learn to invest wisely, and maybe to lure in those people who don't have a current interest in collectibles.
