IIRC Yoko once said that her and John's "investment strategy" was simply to buy beautiful things: that they increased in value over time faster than other things did was a bonus. Again, I say this with half an eye on the YSL and Warhol auctions. It would seem that beautiful objects increase in value over time. The bonus is that, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you purchase based upon what you think is beautiful, that "beauty-value" will never be denied you, regardless of the realizable value of the object in monetary terms.
