: John,
: You'd be an excellent journalist. Also, this line is perfect:

:

If a collector gets killed by a speeding beer truck his
: wife/heirs will have much more trouble disposing of the
: collectables/watches than stocks.

My father, a statistics professor, said more than once that if he could choose a way to die it might be to get hit by a speeding beer truck. His problem was that he was a fancier of good beer and cringed at the thought of getting hit by a run of the mill Budweiser or Miller truck. He knew in his heart of hearts that the probability of getting hit by a truck carrying a brand he liked was low. As a side note my father had over 1,000 watches when he died. I know a bit about disposing of collectables/watches.

The moral of this story...be suspicious of me...I may have an agenda.
