I really don't... its all 'invested' in cameras... some of which I might
actually benefit from. But the problem is, eventually you have to sell, and
I've not done too much of that <yet>, so its no investment at all. More of a
OMoney sink. Of course, the $9000+ I put into the stock market 'to play
around' has recently (just...) rebounded to nearly $4000. Guess I'm not the
'market timer' that the big mutual fund players are :-(
