Does This Mean Goldman Sachs Will Sell Stradivari Bonds?
"Almost alone among investments, important violins have proved immune to economic downturns… During the market upheavals of recent weeks, spot gold prices bobbed at around eight hundred dollars per ounce. The best Stradivarius violin, on the other hand, could have gone for something like seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars per ounce. That's twelve million dollars for an avoirdupois pound of wood." The New Yorker 11/24/08
