Bourbon-Filled Train Sculpture Sells for 33.8M at Auction
It was heartbreaking, at the top of the bidding, when they didn't see the bidding card I was waving for 34 M, and the gavel came down. It felt like a big bond position being called away from me. As with any asset class, it would have been better to have entered earlier, "before the train left the station." [bah-dah-bum!]
@cman: it was an auction of internal conflict; my model ("proprietary," of course) told me I should want the train, while at the same time told me I needed the bourbon. This made price discovery problematic. Perhaps it worked out for the best.
