STAMPS–  The King of Bonds- Bill Gross is heavily investing in stamps and his investments there are said to be worth over 100 million USD. For example, the one-of-a-kind British Guiana One-Cent Magenta postage stamp (1856) has been sold for over $9 million on an auction at Sotheby’s. Investing in stamps has been considered by many to be better than investing in the stock market and many times it has been proven so. One of the major reasons is that they don’t have almost any correlation to other to any other market. Indeed, according to Bloomberg Financial Professional, the GB30 Rarities Index has never fallen in value in the past 60 years. During the stock market crash of 2008, the GB30 gained over 38%.
