Spot on Bruce. And this is also exactly part of what makes these knives attractive- I have rarely if ever seen them go DOWN in value. This is a very nice feeling unlike other investments we have seen of recent days. I know that when I invest $$$ whether it be in real estate- stocks- mutuals etc - I surely am looking for a return. I got lucky and pulled all my funds out of those markets quite some time ago. Some of my friends were not quite as "lucky" and now are taking a bath.As we see the economy slide even further - folks will see just how important the " RETAIL" scenario is. Good post Bruce-Thanks
