Market commentary
Sold by RM at Monterey in 1998 for $160,286, about Euros 145,300 had there been a Euro at the time. Todays transaction is Euros 240,000 more, a healthy but not unreasonable rate of return for an owner who thinks in European value terms. For the U.S. seller, however, it is a huge home run, $385,404 (before deducting the sellers commission) on an investment of $160,000, which makes most investment funds even those specializing in taking advantage of currency fluctuations pale by comparison.
