Never thought I would be interested in investing and finance, but Rudy you've have changed my mind on this entire subject.

[@ashylarrymp]

As investments I feel better about my sealed magic products than my 401k.

[@jk47Ssb]

How’s that going?

[@shankzula6332]

My guess is quite well.

[@WargamersShutUpJamGaiden]

I don't comment on much, but I've been enjoying your videos for the last year or so. I feel this one was among the most useful, insightful, and interesting ones you've done. Thank you.

[@leroywilson8193]

This is by far the best video you have uploaded. I can't wait to start investing like you. keep up the good work. hopefully you could go into some examples on corporate bonding investing in depth. It's hard trying to watch other Joe blows on youtube

[@wallisa]

I love watching your videos man. You are such a charismatic guy! And has made me look into these bonds as such from inheritance I just got recently. :-)

Rudy, long time viewer. I've loved your content for 3 reasons: your personality, facts, and educated analysis. Thanks for the great channel.

[@sinderflaem7000]

I appreciate the respect and love from Rudy to professor and why I think both are gentlemen, in the truest definition of the word. Added yet another reason to watch your videos. The giggity jokes, the timmy purchase pressure, and t shirt prices, ect. Thank you for this video on this subject.

[@Spartacus547]

Bonds and Land just like Lex Luthor said land, not just any kind of land reserved dual lands,and its better than regular land because you get two lands and two lands is more than one lands, it's it's a business math thing.

I love debt and those people like Wilbur Ross. You know what I mean.

[@walter85]

Rudy, bond investments is really interesting. Can you mention diversification on investment as a next topic.

[@kaminarikatuhstrofik9534]

I was sad to hear about Tolar. Thanks from the community for the shout out. Looks like we got another Patreon to support.

[@Baneslayer]

Rudy, I love the Magic & Money talks. Keep it up! I follow a lot of the same investing/life principles that you do... Vintage Cards & Investments. You're a smart guy Rudy.

[@Brian-ey4xt]

For people wanting to do some independent reading in finance, I'd recommend tracking down some old CFA books. Find ones published within the last 5-10 years though just so they aren't that dated. They're pretty inexpensive and have a good summary of lots of important topics. Just the first exam set (6 books, although I wouldn't bother with the ethics book unless you're actually sitting for the exams) is a great start and probably around 200 hours of reading. A nice thing about it is that it doesn't require prerequisite knowledge in business / finance / econ. They are written for people who are just starting to get into business and finance and set a solid groundwork for learning finance on your own. The sets are pretty cheap because the CFA institute requires the newest year's version for anybody taking these things, so they are immediately out of date, so for example, you can pick up a set of CFA level 1 books from 2014 for super cheap at a used book store.

[@tylerkirschner4544]

This is truly some great advice. People do not take the proper steps to diversify their investments to actually achieve their goals. Shortcuts rule this world and leave most without a penny to their names. Keep up the great work Rudy.

[@tylerhensel6130]

Rudy, you talked a lot about cash flow and debt and stuff in this video. I've struggled most of my life with debt and money. Between watching your channel, and recently reading some Dave Ramsey books, I have become more aware of what happens with my money and what needs to be done. I'm extremely intrigued by investing (stocks and Magic), even picked up some cards that I predict will spike. I just wanted to say thank you for your enlightening information and for being a cool, wonderful person.

[@ivynightphoenix5407]

Rudy, this was a great video to give people a lot of good life advice on getting their financial situation in check, and then expanding into various investment avenues, Magic Cards included. Great info!!! A lot of people give you a hard time cause you're hoarding all the "Good" cards and the "old stuff," but honestly if you enjoy having them in your collection then why not? I have many cards myself, and lots of old video games, toys, and anime figures (an entire room is devoted to this stuff in my home) I dunno if you'll ever find a buyer for 250 Baazars of Baghdad's at $4000 each someday, but it seems like it's not a bad long term investment as long as the demand is there for Magic The Gathering. (BTW do you remember Star Wars the Collectable Card Game? Wizards bought the game from Decipher and tanked the game in 2001...but the cards are still worth something, AIternate Image Darth Maul Foil is worth like $125 - $150. There is still a market for these even though the original game is dead. I have about 4 binders worth of these...but these "reserve list, cancelled set cards" are not for sale, I'm sorry Rudy, you can't have mine, lol www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-CCG-Coruscant-AI-Alternate-Image-Darth-Maul-Young-Apprentice/173316273488?epid=1765018753&hash=item285a747550:g:Or4AAOSwZrJaiCys&frcectupt=true

I feel like people need to realize that it isn't like you drop tons of money on investing on something. You budget for it once you have the safety net for when shit hits the fan. You don't fling all your pay check on investing you take x amount per month out to be towards investing.

[@davidklapproth5423]

Oh boy I can't wait to see Rudy's take on todays Standard bans...

[@Mtonazzi]

I wish investing on bonds worked like that here (for instance, you must go through brokers, individuals have no access to bonds), but alas, one day I'll get onto it nonetheless.

and then, AND THEN . . . capital gains tax.

[@levant5378]

I knew a guy who won 2.2$ million in the lotto, he invested 1.2 million and lived of about 2k interest a week. I was also in the position of earning 60k in 6 months at 19 doing a job I never should have had. Unfortunately I never had a mentor like Rudy could be, so I squandered it. Someone may hear of your success, appear happy for you, know how you should invest it, but not tell you how to do so, or worse, tell you to waste it on shit. That 60k lost 40% of its buying power in 2 years due to currency murder, had someone told me anything about finance I could have prepared for that, luckily what doesnt kill you make you mean and bitter, but also shrewd and cunning and able to survive when it comes to the currency driven world we live in today.

[@chrisr.2410]

Rudy, stock prices are easy to find and track. Where does an independent trader go to search for price and availability of individual corporate bonds?

[@Nickstoopid]

Great vid Rudy! Rising intro and slow motion outro 🤘😅

[@brodin1995]

congrats on the 40k man keep up the great content.

[@efraincampos7382]

My only question is how do you look for and find the secondary market?

[@IAmAVeryFatMan]

Rudy, could you make a video where you make a fort similar to the PlaneChase Anthology video, but this time include a sloppily crayon-written "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" sign? Or "NO FOIL COMMONS ALLOWED" or something.

[@Eteric]

Rudy, you should write the book. Also, if you're just looking for companies that would just be able to pay the bills. Wouldn't it be good to look for companies that have been around forever? Nintendo for instance has been around for like 127 years because they keep war chests. Other similar companies as well.

[@Nanofuture87]

They're called blue chip stocks. Rather than Nintendo though, think more like General Electric: a massive company that makes products that everyone uses or at least recognizes. Having cash is nice, but as an investor you want profit. Japanese companies in particular have a bad habit of ignoring problems due to the culture over there.

[@Eteric]

Nanofuture87 I see, but according to Rudy it really doesn't matter so long as they can keep the lights on. GE was another company that I had thought of as well. Ford and others (since the gov won't let it fall) seem like decent picks as well. Thanks for the response! Is there another place I can get more info from?

[@dvmaprezson]

Austin Guerra Rudy touts Bonds. Bonds are the super safe low risk investment your parents should be checking out. Assuming you're under 30 and not wealthy, you shouldn't touch bonds.

[@Eteric]

So as a person who is under 30 and isn't wealthy, what should I be doing? Right now I'm able to pretty much save any money I have. What would be a good thing for a person in that situation?

[@dvmaprezson]

Austin Guerra invest in index funds on very low cost mutual funds like Vanguard funds

[@HoneyNutBeemo]

He needs to have the greed monster taped to his back the whole episode then at the end he turns around and he's there

[@juggalo184]

So an advantage of investing in magic cards vs corporate bonds is that magic cards will get you girls and action? Umm... Most of the people who are into Magic get the least girls of any investor class.

[@ThePedro1233]

always love the investment videos.

[@juggalo184]

Rudy is talking about buying individual corporate bonds and definitely not funds, then discusses an example where you will typically pay a 10% commission on a corporate bond, vs less than 1% on an ETF, and doesn't discuss any advantages of the corporate bond.

[@paulcarlcards9050]

Rudy, what company do you use for buying your bonds? If that's too personal or too much shilling, what companies would you recommend looking into for buying bonds through?

[@FabioGomes-pj4fc]

Hi Rudy, thanks for your amazing videos, I've learn alot! Can you make a video about selling online vs physical store? How important is for a physical store to sell online? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@razorx540]

Fábio Gomes I can't remember the video he explained this in, but basically he mentioned that e-commerce is crucial to a brick and mortar store to help bridge the gap with your overhead.

[@gahbunk]

That end point though, right on!

[@0321Dave]

Rudy you know your stuff man! Great video with amazing useful content as always

[@franciscourdaneta599]

hello i like your channel a lot rudy... thx for the vids!

[@kenneths_]

Rudy if there is not a set book out there that explains how to handle investments why dont you write one? Doesn't have to be scholarly, it can just be autobiographical telling your investment story, and strategies/lessons you picked up along the way. Hell you can even relate it back to Magic by sharing how you entered that market, im sure that would be a unique story in contrast to most investment autobiographies.

[@lostincyberspaceIII]

Rudy what do you think of the Robin Hood app? I'm just getting started and I like how it allows me to learn and make small investments on my own.

[@AoiKaze2000]

That last question should be in your profile XD

[@Attlanttizz]

6% on bonds these days? I don't think so. Unless they're absolute junk maybe?

[@socksbg1369]

Can y'all explain? I'd like to learn more about the topic. Like what is junk grade and the defaults.

[@HobbyStop]

Nin Win no, bonds are rated as either premium, par or discount. The rating of the bond is determined by its Yield to maturity and the coupon yield. The value Is not determined by the likely hood of them to pay off the bond, it's the speed at which the bond matures, the faster the maturity, the lower the total amount of interest payments, and the higher the profitability of the bond. If YTM>coupon yield it is a discount bond, if YTM

[@davidsmind]

HobbyStop, Even if all that is true, the default rate of junk bonds is 4.22% and you cannot know if your investments are going to be the ones that tank and %6 yield is QUITE high for a corporate bond. Are you saying that YTM and risk have no relation to one another? Isn't the fact that you have to be able to hold the bond to maturity a risk factor?

[@poyi1013]

6% now is like~ I’ll kill for a ticket to get it.
