How many people bought $100,000 worth of stamps as an investment when they cost like 40 cents, thinking that postage might rise to a dollar pretty soon? I guess they didn't count on the internet and email virtually killing off letter mail.It’s the same thing like pulling 100% depreciation forward to the current year on capital assets. You drag future money to the present to make the numbers look good, and let 5 years from now worry about itself, because that will be somebody else’s problem by then!
