I don’t really want to catch a ride with that guy. Probably a great guy, but I’ll catch the next one. As for jewelry, I just don’t get it. I have a wedding ring and a couple inexpensive watches. My wife has her wedding ring and some very nice, old family stuff....and it never leaves the safe deposit box. If you want to rob us, it won’t get you much.

I live there and enjoy that. They generally appreciate rather than depreciate. Cars (with the exception of investment grade), clothing, etc. does nothing for me. Jewelry is easily lost or stolen, mostly sits in a safe deposit box if you are smart and has questionable long term investment value. Someone reported Tracy Morgan is worth I think $12 million.

Why the hell are you quoting me?? I never once applauded bells robbers or got all crazy And jealous over Morgan’s spending the only thing I said was it’s crazy to spend like 15% of your wealth on a car and it is hes rich and can do whatever the hell he wants.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. This jewelry case is a civil case brought on by Brees. Brees bought a lot of expensive jewelry with the expectation of it being a good investment. It's not. In this case because of the amount of money involved he should have gotten a number of outside evaluations done by jewelry and insurance experts beyond the person who was selling him the jewelry.

That doesn't mean that he isn't a fool in money matters and investing. What makes his case even more foolish is that he had the ability to seek plenty of credible outside expertise on whether the jewels were worth what the jeweler claimed it to be worth and whether investing in jewelry is a good idea, which it is not.
