Shredder Member Registered: 01/21/08 Posts: 612 Loc: A farm in Iowa	http://news.yahoo.com/photos/u-s--131613...-213521798.html I guess I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate the value of this photo. Dumbfounded.

How much return do you expect on something like this when YOU are the high water mark? _________________________ WARNING: This post may not bear appropriate warning labels, a noncriminal illegal omission.

How much return do you expect on something like this when YOU are the high water mark? I think for a lot of these art collectors it has nothing to do with rate of return. It's all about hanging the photo or painting in their big house so they can show it off to their rich friends during parties and say "oh, look at what an amazing piece of art I just recently picked up!". _________________________ I aim to misbehave.
