Perhaps you may have noticed recently that the stock market has crashed. Sure it’s sad for the people who invested so heavily in it but perhaps behind it all there are a few expensive lessons to be learned. The first lesson is that the stock market is a great place to invest your money when its hot but should it turn cold, the stock market giveth and the stock market taketh away.

Truly Beautiful Investments to Hold in Your hand

Whats really crazy is the stories that are coming out on the news about people who are committing suicide because they have lost their millions. Is that really what investing is all about or can there be more to life than that? What about investments that you can hold in your hand and truly appreciate whether they go up or down in value.

Always Valuable to Soccer Fans

This is where the signed football shirt truly shines as an investment opportunity for todays soccer fan. A truly special football shirt that a favorite soccer star has actually held in his hand and put his name on. Of course these types of signed football shirts can be bought on a speculative basis but can they ever completely lose their value in the way that so many other investment commodities have recently?

Not Worth Dying Over

Of course not! And that is what makes them such an excellent investment. Do you think those guys would have killed themselves if they were loyal soccer fans that had invested their millions in signed soccer shirts? Hell no! Because for one thing they can never lose their value the way that stocks have and besides, regardless of which way they go in value, they will always be a genuine signed soccer shirt!

Well Worth the Sacrifice

OK. So now you are ready to sell your home and move into a cardboard box, so you can invest your entire net worth in signed soccer shirts and live under a bridge. Thats a wise choice, because for one thing it shows that as a true soccer fan you really do have your priorities in order. The wife and kids can go and move in with her mother. She’ll understand.

Using Prayer as an Investment Tool?!?

However before you begin making your purchases there are a few things that you will need to know. Of course the golden rule about not making emotional investments goes right out the window here, because after all, it is soccer your dealing with. However; with any type of sports memorabilia the idea if you plan on making money is to pick a rising star in his rookie year and pray like hell he doesn’t get injured.

Don’t Get Scammed

However; there is one other golden rule that you will definitely want to invest in signed soccer shirts by. That is that you should only buy a signed soccer shirt from a reputable website. Scouting around the Internet for screaming deals, more often not is only going to leave you holding a counterfeit. For investment purposes, the only option that you should consider is signed football shirts from credible online sources that come with a certificate of authenticity.
