In the living, perhaps, is impressive.

Today, RBC obsudali lot 8 and 7, but they are certainly interesting position, but was rekindled this idea: during the period of Russia's unstable Russian art melted much of the world liquidity ... they think again locomotive for investment -- European art ... while another was told that if you bought for 100 and can immediately sell for 90 - a liquid. : eek:
I am somehow not ready to count. : D
For me, this is slightly (10%) loss. : shy:

Do not confuse liquidity with profitability. And what kind of transmission was?

fross, but I do not watch, I have a wife manyachka this channel.
And second, why should I liquidity without profits? : eek:
Will not confuse, even in these subtleties do not want to go, do not understand anyway, but without the ability to sell to buy more expensive, to me the dealer, criminal ... : D

Unfortunately, it would be very interesting to watch. This is for painting such a level of liquidity found? In the present circumstances it would have characterized the art as the most liquid investments.

I realized, yes, for the painting. Maybe for antiques in general? I will not suffer, do not remember ... Aivazovsky remember, but about investment, liquidity, was not listening very carefully ...
Yes, I wrote that I heard, it seems, and not think of anything.

In Sevastopol, most "cool" job,:) only it is much colder in color, rather than on your photos.
