Re: Third Siffert Sold for $8,100 / What Have We Learned?

I think the market for anything, stocks, collectibles, property, gold, etc. ebbs and flows as the money moving into those markets ebbs and flows. I've noticed that all watches, not only Sifferts, have gone up in the past few months. The Dow hit its all time high yesterday so we may be seeing new money coming into all kinds of markets recently, Sifferts included.

Where does it go? Up and down, up and down when looked at in the short term. But a general trend upwards for the long term. I personally don't buy anything if it's at a high price for that moment in time, I like bargains and then to sell when I think things are peaking. Sit on the cash then buy when a good deal pops up. One day we'll look back and laugh that you coud buy a Siffert for only about $8000. But until then we may get some opportunities at $6000 or $7000 in a few months time.
