"Value these days is indeed anticipatory.-------- If you bought a house that was guaranteed to be atop a famous grave, that purchase is more or less an investment. If it turned out that John Q. Public was underneath, that would be bad for business. Similarly, if you bought a stock based on reports from cooked books, you'd have a similar gripe."
You never provide detail for your opening sentence in that paragraph. Your two supporting sentences are employ the same illustrate the same disappointment in a different situation. That is not count as analysis. Also, It's not interesting, that auction houses sell unique items at inflated values, its almost the definition of auction.
I love Sl'dot post for what they are, but pick up a Roget's Tyrannosaurus instead of using the same word twice.
