Irrelevant Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I was thinking about this and I dont know. Stocks don't count because other people make them matter more. I was thinking of money, but that just makes other things worth less. Children/seeds/ect I guess? But thats not what I'm thinking about.

LadyCrimson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Define "value." “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Wine, anything collectible...there is quite a bit, actually. Land is usually a safe bet to gain value over time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Is there anything that matters more by itself, alone, the longer you have it? Hmm, Don't those things only matter more because we make them matter more?

greylord Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Cars seem to decrease in value. Even if you have a classic, at best it retains it's value (sometimes as in equivalent value, with if it cost $5000 yesteryear, and that is equivalent to $25000 now, it will sell for $25000) unless it's one of those VERY rare classics that everyone wants. Comics used to increase in value...but I think almost everything I got in the 90s with some rare exceptions is basically worth junk now days. Except for very rare books, books seem to decrease in value. Overall, I think the rule is that thing decrease in value rather then increase.

Orogun01 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Value does not exist. You are merely a creation of my mind. Strange because i'm sure that Australia is imaginary. Although to translate his point; nothing has intrinsic value, all value it's instrumental as means to ends. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Funny thing, value. A thing is usually worth as much as people desire it. Collectors are a strange bunch "artificially" inflating values because they all agree that something (usually quite useless) is desireable to them and the more they agree, the more the object of desire gains in fame and adds to the desire, being a self reinforcing mechanism. Seriously, Mona Lisa is not that attractive. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Niten_Ryu Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was thinking about this and I dont know. Not really, since our economic system is based on impossible idea of infinite growth. One result of this idea is that nation states and national banks fight inflation and deflation all the time. Fiscal policies try to target around 2-3% yearly inflation and anything you own should be inflation + x% in order for it to keep value or increase value. At first look it doesn't seem that hard to do, year in year out 4-6% increase of value can be tricky. Of course if you always make the right moves Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
