Then she should now know 1st hand what a great investment it would be! For instance, I'm a business management major. I've taken several classes on business/investing/finanical management (over 127 credit hours) such as:

Intro to Business & Technology
Principles of Macroeconomics
Elementary Accounting I
Managerial Accounting
Principles of Microeconomics
Principles of Marketing
Legal Environment of Business
Financial Management
Business Statistics
Management Information Systems
International Business
Personal Financial Planning
Production and Process Management
Business History
Principles of Investment
Organizational Design and Change
Stratigic Management
E-Commerce
Leadership in Organizations
Career Management
Personal Selling

And even with all those expensive classes on financial planning/business, any spare money I have doesn’t go into stocks, precious metal, bonds, CDs, savings accounts, mutual funds, or anything like that. Instead, I invest in Busse family knives whever possible. They offer a better return with less risk than any other investment opportunity I’ve found. If she needs some re-assurance, make a little excel spreadsheet for her or something. Go find some ended ebay auctions/sold BF listings, and make a spreadsheet of the original selling price, the current selling price, and the % profit attained by the seller over the original selling price.

Here’s some personal examples. When I got my RM, I bought two. They were like $200 each. I waited 2-3 months, and sold my extra one for $350. I went to the 1500 gunshow and bought 2 HRs and 1 Coot for $80 each, and a couple weeks later I sold them for about $150 each. These investments helped fund future knive purchases that I wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise. Make your hobby help pay for itself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> With enough buying of extra knives and selling them for profit, it’s like getting your knives FREE!!! And who doesn’t love free knives? Especially knives that are THIS GOOD!
