2021 perspective - just buy everything in the backgrounds! I should have known all along!

[@AllAboutTradingCardGames]

Excellent video, very clearcut. Thank you for making these!

[@bennytdi]

Watching your channel blow up is awesome

[@kkirschkk]

"it is like grabbing a falling knife", picks up a huge gun and pull the knife off, Falls out of my seat laughing

[@AlphaInvestments69]

hehehehe

[@SupahAsians2]

I love talking about economics, really enjoy the way you relate it to magic and really learn a lot from you. Thanks alpha

[@Polimathe]

Just discovered you, hilarious videos man keep them coming

[@ghostdog6220]

i love when he gets close to the camera, this guy is a fucking god

[@gorana.37]

These vids are fantastic. You keep doing what you're doing, man. I enjoy the shit out of your ramblings. So spot on, as well.

[@YellowBrother]

Insightful and honest, something we collectively don't want to hear, but need to hear. Thank you Rudy!

[@danielmarks13]

Amazing video!! Learned quite a bit

[@fundamental7378]

300 views in 30 mins and you deserve even more, great work man.

[@MrRant247]

If the knife falls, let it fall! Congrats on your 8k subs man!

[@omnigames7396]

Thank you for joining KZbin! Love your videos

[@omnigames7396]

+Alpha Investments im glad you pulled the trigger and decided to do it I'm gonna start buying ktk boxes soon! lol

[@kevinjohnson2054]

great content, ty for sharing.

[@Ottawa3453]

I agree Wizards does a lot to manage risk. And the greatest risk is collapse of the whole system. If faith in the value of cards drops too drastically, a significant portion of the player base and potential player base will find it hard to justify to themselves to buy product. This is also why they most likely will not abolish the reserved list, because it could cause large ripples, which could potentially damage the system irreparably. The invent of the Mythic rarity and the fact that the most valuable cards are mostly re-printed at that rarity, shows that Wizards is very much aware of preserving the value of these cards. The extra rarity also means they have more detailed control of how many of a certain card are being put into the market. The printing of MM1, MM2 and Eternal Masters is as close as you can get to proof, that they are now, more than ever taking continuous steps to secure the stability of the "system". If you're perceptive you'll be able to identify the presence or absence of these measures, and whether it is relatively safe to continue investing or not.

[@alext.1244]

anyone else come back to this vid whenever they remember their tacos are floppy?

[@Audioandroid1]

Fast forward 2022 risk was worth it. PS thank goodness your audio got better

[@IRQVET09]

Agree 100%..appreciate the insight. brilliant. thanks m8

[@Yuki071One]

Amazing content! Keep it up!

[@manuellopez5598]

Hi Rudy. Nice video as usual. Just one point: Im using Chrome to whatch youtube and your video has no sound if using it. I either used firefox and it was good. Just check that out in case of future videos. Cheers!

[@harryknapper1133]

You my man are soooooo freaking cool i love it!!!! You are clearly a very smart man but i love that you are a nerd at heart!!

[@FictionExistence]

I'll give ya a like just for the AK. Love the videos man

[@Bloodfire83]

I feel the only people that an MTG market crash would negatively affect would be the hoarders that drive the prices up in the first place. The countless thousands of peasant-folk, like myself, actually enjoy playing the game and would love to be able to afford all the cards we want if that ever happened.

[@tylermurphy6998]

I've been subbed since 100

[@treycarter247]

Nice AK bud. Great videos also.

[@greenmarcosu]

Best investments to hedge against systemic risk: gold, silver, copper, and lead.

[@Kakerate2]

5:20 well, I'm sure there are ways of telling that a recession could be on it's way, but I still appreciate the point you're trying to make.

[@NYoumans]

Bro, you're like the Vince Vaughn of MTG Finance... and yes that's a compliment ;-)

[@ccrazyy3]

great video! Keep it up :)

[@1ong1337]

what happens when you activate nevinyrral disk on the MTG market?

[@TheLastHybrid]

Haha, actually laughed

[@lv6fomor]

more like wrath of r@d XD

[@alvonsolubis7859]

we ride together, we die together, bad boys for life.

[@radip]

Rudy, what do you think would happen to the card value if Wotc went out of business? I mean would the cards (and I mean valuable vintage cards) still have some value (of course lower) or would they just be worth a couple of pennies?

[@marthinwurer]

This is an amazing channel. I love the economics of it all. Just a question, how do you protect yourself from the risk of your cards being lost in a fire or some other natural disaster?

[@AlphaInvestments69]

the product is monitored 24/7 not only in a structure with cinderblock (no wood for fire) but also with a human being present

[@progenitusalara]

at least with the sealed product it shouldn't be too hard to get insurance... the singles i would imagine are almost impossible to insure

[@TH3M4G1CM4Nx]

Alpha Investments Did you have to buy your own facility or do you trust storage companies? I am scared to keep my boxes at my home.

[@letipsfedora7862]

2022 rudy sends his regards

[@brianm2242]

That tie is epic.

[@russellsrips8852]

Love the tie!!!!

[@rmcdaniel2424]

Where you ever a used cars salesman? J.k love your stuff 😁

rudy rudy rudy rudy rudy rudy rudy! rudy! rudy! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

[@TheMCGamer2012]

Do ya do ya do ya do ya?!

[@FunGsCollections]

Yea knew Rudy had guns living in Florida. I hope he shows his collection one day

[@timewalkinc4]

I systematically got hosed in 2009 when all my puts became worthless

[@masonaguirri3695]

like your tie Rudy

[@leeroyjenkins552]

obligatory complement of your silly tie, keep up the insightful work m8!

[@cardboardinvestments]

2022 rudy told me to come

[@adolphus28]

The dude has guns and knives but chooses to use the Alpha Circle of Protection: Red instead, enough said!! ;p

[@bluesight_]

underrated comment

[@LifeWasGood]

If only I found you 5 years earlier... Damn. But I am grateful I found you at all to be honest Rudy. I fucked up on holding and capturing the FaB stuff but, I hope there's another chance before 2030/33 Codex BS Either way... :] Blessings to you and your loved ones Rudy

[@Tlboyd1989]

What's your opinion on the Pokemon market today with the new sets being printed to oblivion. Just a question I'm a Pokemon collector that's slowly turning over into magic.

[@dajusta87]

Yes there's a way to mitigate systematic risk, you get out on product based on a financial rule.

[@adammohammed2185]

awesome video

[@JohnSmith-gu8bs]

If wizards made a masters set, printed it more than last two, and made it the same price as standard sets, would that create a chronicles situation? And how bad?

[@hyperchord]

Yeah, that's why I'm considering getting out. Counterfeits are really scaring me. This whole thing could come crashing down

[@DesolatorMagic]

Why does every video start with a 30Hz bass note for like 3 seconds? If you don't believe me, crank up the sub and hit 0:00

[@alvonsolubis7859]

scary part of investing in mtg heavily is if the market fails then we all lose.

[@AlphaInvestments69]

100% true

[@bluesight_]

why did the opposite effect happen with 2020?

[@Calaber24p]

where did you get that bull killing the bear statue?

[@ashbeef4358]

Rudy, I'll be honest; I don't give a rat's ass about investing in MTG. However, I've watched a bunch of your videos strictly due to your hilarious and great personality. Keep it up!

[@AlphaInvestments69]

hahha thanks

[@jdubjsjs613]

+Alpha Investments try doing some other videos besides mtg all the time? talk about taco bell lol

[@joelombardi4907]

Man that gun was fucking huge! Oh, and nice video by the way.....lol

[@GaryRenals]

We're not gunna stop fighting to get back in Roody. - love from, 48.1% of the UK.

[@GaryRenals]

Only uneducated racists with no grasp on morality want out x

[@splugereport]

The day I was diagnosed with micropenis I got an AK too! Stay strong bro!

[@420Pikachu]

STAY THE COURSE !!!!

[@joshuatalamantes5001]

This is the video with the sks

[@orlysoto6996]

Gold... Love that bull/bear figure... Great videos tho

[@samwoodfield7332]

Yes, HG Wells!

[@lovetownsend]

Lol love when you get close to camera saying something witty

[@ajconner945]

Circle of protection red keeps you in the black!

[@travisbowden8251]

My opinion on collapse is this.. Zombie or financial.... People will still play the physical game so eventually ( might take a while ) prices on good cards will return.. I mean what other game can u play in the actual apocalypse?

[@adamlynch9153]

Yugioh

[@travisbowden8251]

+AJ Lynch And Pokémon and force of will and.... But other than poker what is the second most played card game in the world. MTG..

[@Sheriff_K]

Didn't you say that even if Magic dies, the cards would still retain collector value (from collectors/hobbiests, and people who want nostalgia?)

[@ErikasUmbra]

Lol'd at the CoP red!

[@Orxlayer85]

LoL the Rifle. Pure gold

[@Khaz8969]

Best tie yet or amulet or whatever that is

[@AlphaInvestments69]

i agree....gotta love it

[@thrillmill6525]

More videos with the Mrs. plz.

[@NumberOneFear]

rudy do you invest in gold/ silver? just curious

[@mahdiamiar157]

also curiouse

[@MrUmptysquat]

Awesome neckwear

[@bar0nger]

15 to 20 years from now, if magic is still going strong = win Once the first magic players hit retirement, and have money, nostalgia and time.

[@HighNetworthNetwork]

If Alpha COP Red PSA 10 protects against Systematic risk I will take 10 of those now

[@Sklease69]

was that legit about people reacting to the circle of protection tie like that?

[@TheToekutter]

How much for the Duke Nukem Forever book? That being said, I bought a bunch of stock end of day Friday thanks to the Brexit. The Brexit (negative) pop will not be systemic, it will recover short term and I'll get an easy 3-5% return. That's how people build wealth...instead of bailing on short term system adjustments. I wish I would have stay in Magic back in the early 90s because I find your videos intriguing.

[@dvmaprezson]

A lot of people seem to think that. The reality is the complexities in trade agreements and movement of not only goods, but human capital and financial capital are getting fucked up by Brexit. Not to mention the risk of a Scottish Referendum fucking up the UK even more. I know several people in high roles in UK-based financial businesses, including a CFO of a major bank (FIL's old neighbor) and we went golfing with him Saturday. He told me, point blank, that he expects the GDP of the UK to fall 1%-2% per year over the next two years as business activity contracts in the UK due to uncertainty over what comes after, and perhaps even more so after the actual exit. I asked him about when he thinks stocks will bottom, and he declined to answer, but told me that there are way too many people "blowing their load early", and he thinks the stock markets have quite a ways to go in terms of downside. I am inclined to agree. I find it remarkably ironic that, in a video that discusses systematic risk, that you don't see or seem to understand the systematic risk that Brexit is exposing the European Union to, and make no mistake about it, the collapse and dissolution of the EU would be a bad thing for the global economy and would surely impact the worldwide financial markets severely. EDIT: Can't make paragraphs, whatever, sorry for the wall of text.

[@MrRuff-cc3lg]

The risk I fear the most for MtG is bringing back banding. ;) If MtG ever tanks, I'll still have a game I love playing. Plus there are no credit default swaps in Magic. :D

[@movieman4738]

I can't remember... Are circles playable?

[@jonnynice8366]

THIS VIDEO IS NO JOKE

[@keenanaxquinn5210]

Goddamn Rudy, your hitting the truth man.

[@austinparsley8693]

"Its the one risk that scares the shit out of me" ..."We're talking about systematic risk" *Huh?* *Opens tab, sys-tem-at-ic risk, enter!* *Ohhhhhh thats what thats called, shit, that is scary*

[@rawrsandmeows]

rudy... do you own or run a taco bell? i pause your videos and go get taco bell every time you bring it up... to bad you dont run the one where i live...

[@Ratchetfan321]

Cant have too much taco bell

[@kkirschkk]

DID YOU HEAR! deriumsCCG want to buy your portal box, they know about you and mention you in a veido!!! how cool

[@joelombardi4907]

In a prior video, he makes a shout out to Deriums and says he watches their content all the time.

[@kkirschkk]

Joe Lombardi well they watch his stuff too

[@WizavPRO]

Gold and Silver = 100% protected from Systematic Risk, if you don't count death etc...

[@mimszanadunstedt441]

[@AlphaInvestments69]

[@alexjohnson9055]

Alpha Investments I have watched your channel explode in the past month, for your 10,000 subscribers what will you do if anything?

[@Dayzenia]

[@kamen5]

HahHah the fucking gun

[@sgr7th]

Stay tuned, for the epic story of how I lost 5,000 dollars in Marvel Premier in year 2013XD

[@TravisWizard]

Pokemon Go and AR / VR gaming represents systematic risk to old gaming

[@johnkapp849]

o?

[@metaparcel]

Systemic.

[@ashylarrymp]

If the world economy crashes everything is going to lose value, but at different rates. The best things to have invested in when the economy crashes are Real estate, Precious Metals, and Art. Inflation should hit soon so it's a bad time to have a bunch of cash and not as bad to have some debt. Whenever magic cards hit rock bottom the people with money will buy all the cards and horde them until the economy comes back and the cards are worth more than ever. It's a matter of timing.
