What if there was a stock market for INDEPENDENT ARTS? Would you invest in a BAND instead of stocks?

Yes, I would invest in Independent Arts, but as part of my total portfolio, not just one or the other. If we're talking about art in the for as physical art-work. I believe there is already a tremendous art market, already.

And, buyers and sellers deal in that with the same basic principles of speculation, as with the stock market. Other-wise, if you're asking about performing artists; well, they have a price too. And, investors may decide to sign them into some sort of contract, or another.

Some investors may decide to back independent film-makers, by paying for some or all of the production costs. Then, they hope they are able to sell the movie to a larger company, for a profit. I like the idea of owning a studio with artists that actually do some of their art-work there, at the studio where it's sold.

No. It would quickly become a shell game, like the worst of stock market scams. Also, rights-management is changing a lot all over the world and I would be loathe to invest in anything that relies on a strict control over the delivery systems for profits.

I grew up around musicians. The odds of making it big are next to nil. I love the idea...as I am an artist (painter) and sometimes...a writer, but you would need to have a large portfolio to play with.

If I had a fairly large amount of money, then it would be fun. You need angel investor types.

You right, this how it works right now. But we took this concept way beyond and actually created a STOCK EXCHANGE for Independent Arts. It is a pilot program we are testing.It is very new and sometimes, I doub't myself if it a a good idea.

That is why I need to know people's feedback. Actually, if you can do me a favor and check it out and give me your honest opinion, especially since you are involved with internet buisiness. Here it is soi360.com Thank you andI appreciate your help.

So you shouldn’t care about the number of shares you’re buying when deciding how to invest in stocks. And while we’re at it, you shouldn’t care how expensive the shares of stock you’re buying are. In short, the share price and the quantity of shares purchased should never be a driving factor in your investment decisions.

Rather, you should focus on creating reasonable goals and reasonable allocations for the slices in your portfolio when it comes to how to invest in stock. You should ever be 100% invested in a single stock, and nobody should ever hold 50 or 60 different positions. But there’s a heck of a lot of gray area in between those extremes, and your personal .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
