Looks like there is another tendency : European buyers.
The higher the €, the higher the prices in $ for rare stuff.
$ is going up again. I could bet the Alphas and Betas will go down in the next weeks and months.
So, MTG = oil = €
High € = high oil = high MTG
Let's see if I am right in the next months...

No loans and not much invested so I dont bother with that bit.
Not many big collectors in sweden and the big-for-sweden ones is 20-25-ish and in about my situation i guess.

Things sell for less but you can also buy cheaper so it's relative.
I think that the bubble is going to burst very soon as far as other economies taking advantage of the American present weakness. My worst competition right now is from Australians but I recently got the good news that they're having some economic troubles (thank God) and I'll hopefully make my move in the near future against them
I always do better when everyone else is struggling. Story of my life...

The downside of living out here is that everyone else wants to live here. Not you maybe but we have a tremendous population of immigrants in SoCal. If everyone who wasn't born here all of a sudden dissapeared It would probably be a scene like "28 Days Later" or something... The upside is that most of the people don't have a lot of $$$ so they get exploited (they do the yardwork and work at the fast food places and stuff). Pacific Regional powers invest heavily here when they have a good economy and it kills us (people who do what I do) when our economy isn't doing well. The last time this happened was with Japan in the 80's. Australians were crushing me and my friends for quite awhile and it was getting pretty ugly This probably makes little to 0 sense and I think you maybe have to live out here to understand...Can you explain why Australians are competitors ?
I think all our MTG budgets will be feeling the pressure in the next few years

Have a friend who moved to Iceland about a year ago, they are hit pretty hard. The Icelandic króna lost 25% against the euro TODAY! Has lost about 70% in a year. Almost like Zimbabwe!
