Title: Shares, commodities and markets which exhibit similar characteristics to Bitcoin
Post by: psybits on April 28, 2013, 12:46:24 AM
Inspired by this thread (on Rhodium as similar to Bitcoin with its dramatic variance and price swings) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189308.0

What other markets, commodities or stocks exhibit similar characteristics to Bitcoin?

These are:

- Very strong positive long term trends
- High variance in daily prices
- High variance on scales of 1-6 months or more

I know Bitcoin is unique, but I am just interested as to what else is out there in the more "conventional" investing world that is similar in this respect?

The more wacky, zany or obscure the better - for example could even be the value of a particular collectors item over time.

Thanks :)

Not spot on, but surely a contender.
