My son works for one of the 5 largest global shipping corporations in the world and can view all global freight traveling by ship or train. All I'm gonna say is that things are gonna get worse before they get better and anyone with $ in stocks is gonna lose.
If anyone is interested in an alternate to stocks for long term investment, consider objects with innate value that, barring damage, typically increase over time. The greater the consensus on that object's innateness, the higher the market value that may be expected.
We see this with art; also with vintage musical instruments.
100% pure vintage instruments, unmodified, command highest value -- and are proportionately expensive.
Next are instruments with vintage components; the entire guitar is not pure vintage, and the other parts serve to verify the instrument is functional and nice sounding.
These are not items you buy, and flip in a few months -> yr.
These are items you hold, and recognize that over time, the supply of vintage instruments/components diminishes, and with constant/increased demand, price goes up.
I am considering selling one such instrument at present.
It is a Fender stratocaster w/cheap new body + neck, but older assembly and 3 vintage pickups: 2 from 1950s, one believed to be 1960s.
You rarely find actual vintage pickups on the internet.
I'm guessing the guitar should fairly be valued at ballpark $8,000-ish top dollar; I throw in a nice HSC [hard shell case].
If someone is willing to come to nyc and be able to bring $6,000 cash and meet me at my bank on UES [upper east side], I will provide bill of sale, with documentation on guitar, including that it was used at the beginning of a song which may some day near future be a big hit "O Come Adeste" [file appended below]
Serious inquiries only. Pix etc upon request.
