As a child rising up in Brooklyn, I used to be a collector.
It drove my mom loopy.
Our home was small, and it turned even smaller with all my stuff round.
I had an excellent assortment of Topps baseball playing cards, U.S. stamps and Lincoln pennies.
One of many nice issues about residing in Brooklyn was that the newsstands offered every little thing.
So, every month, I’d go to the nook newsstand and purchase the most recent problems with Beckett’s Baseball Card Worth Information, Linn’s Stamp Information and Numismatic Information.
It’s how I stayed updated on the altering costs in my assortment.
The joys for me was checking the most recent market costs on objects in my assortment.
After I was round 10 years outdated, I regarded up a Lincoln penny that I purchased for $0.25. And its market worth had elevated to $1!
There was nothing higher than constructing a group of high-quality collectibles … after which sitting on my butt and watching them enhance in worth.
At this time, I nonetheless have containers of my Topps baseball playing cards in my basement.
A part of my 1979 baseball card assortment — in mint situation.
And I nonetheless love accumulating. However it’s now not baseball playing cards, cash and stamps…
New Assortment
The principle factor I gather now could be shares.
Or extra precisely, I gather items of nice companies.
And I nonetheless have the identical method I used after I was a child. I’m the kind of collector who nearly by no means sells something.
So, I purchase high-quality firms after I can get them for lower than they’re price — after which sit on my butt as they enhance in worth…
For instance, round 20 years in the past, Netflix’s market cap was solely $350 million. Apple had a market cap of $9 billion. And Amazon’s market cap was $5 billion.
However immediately, Netflix’s market cap is $165 billion. Apple’s is $2.6 trillion. And Amazon’s is $1.6 trillion.
Actual Discuss: Time is the enemy of a foul firm, however a buddy of an excellent one.
And I wish to provide help to construct what you are promoting assortment with nice ones — identical to I do for my Alpha Investor subscribers…
