I don't think any special edition Leica will top that. Dan C.>> Dan, You are wrong there. A $5k profit is not a big deal for many Leica cameras. (Several owners of the Jaguar XK M6's made $10k on them literally overnight...) ..and 5K is really chump change for the stock market anyway. (no offense as it is not "chump change" to me, but I have heard so many "market mogul" stories lately that $5k doesn't sound like much.) Now if you bought AOL or Cisco at $1.50 some years ago...different story!<g> No Leica is going to top that! <ha> To be serious for a moment...I have always found it prudent to invest money in a combination of stocks, bonds/t-bills, business ventures and tangible goods (i.e. real estate, collectibles, maybe gold???) I don't think anyone really wants to have ALL their money in any one investment vehicle no matter what the current return. Rich
