How the fuck am I learning how to buy bonds from a MTG KZbinr?! Dude what are you Rudy?! Why do you teach? You have nothing to gain but I'm so thankful. It's so unreal. This knowledge. 10/10 bless you for all the knowledge I've gained through the years of following you in the creepy corner.

[@LifeWasGood]

Wow...so ... Not just me who says and thinks these things and is utterly confused lol. But definitely a big thanks and blessings to Rudy as well!

[@yellowperchtastegood]

As a finance major the way Rudy speaks about magic investing resonates with me. This video just reinforces why I love this guy.

[@Mognet_t]

This is it, my favorite Rudy video. After this, I bought some. junk bonds. 100k, the Ford, the cruise lines, they crushed it. I made 30k. The student loans didn't pan out so well, but I made enough money to reinvest that money and opened my own business and startef buying and selling MTG cards! It all started here, thanks to Rudy.

[@alejandroladreyt522]

40 min video! I enjoy more this economics videos than the unboxing ones, might as well make some popcorn!

i love how rudy considers a refinance a ponzi thing

[@brandonkick]

Borrowing new money to repay old money is kinda that.... the US Government does it all the time. They "borrow" money into the existence from the federal reserve and then when it comes time to pay back... they take a new loan for the value of the old loan plus the new finanical need.... the problem is when the federal reserve says... uh.... we can't lend you any more money, and we'd like our money back now please. THAT would be a fun day...

[@MrTryth]

Rudy sir, you easily make some of my favourite videos on KZbin. Your blend of personable economic, comedy, and magic content is just a joy to tune into. I've been watching for years and if I were in the USA I'd be a patron. Alas, as I'm Canadian, please accept my humble offering full video watch times and likes. Your work is appreciated - stay the course, and stay awesome! Obligatory taco reference.

Rudy, is it a good idea to invest in Boarders and Toys r Us, they're sitting at $0.0 right now

[@mcslappynuts857]

Because toys r us went in debt and closed down

[@jamu8060]

@@evilmark443 ...I wonder why. Do they really think it'll work?

[@evilmark443]

@@jamu8060 seems so. My understanding is that the reason it went under in the first place was due to being overloaded with so much debt from going private in the mid 2000s that they couldn't afford to invest in things like a decent online store or a more interactive in-store experience.

[@kinggizzard9250]

evilmark443 yeah if I recall correctly they got hostile takeovered and then basically stripped of all their cash and assets

[@Zoroman-rb4yd]

I discovered your channel just a few months ago and I am trying to like all your videos thank you for the great Rudy content it has inspired me to go through all my cards and separate the rares and uncommons

[@MTGUnpacked]

He reels you in with some shiny Magic cards with lurid fantasy artwork, then before you know it you're avidly watching as the tacoman dons a pink visor whilst discussing corporate finance. Well played, Rudy👍

[@GoblinTherapy]

I'm impressed you actually advocate for people to get a financial advisor. A lot of personal finance groups act like they're the devil and say you're supposed to do all this shit yourself.

[@Kidynamo123]

This. If the people who do this professionally can only, on average, keep up with the rate of inflation, why do I think I can outperform them as someone who has read a bit and watched a few videos? However, having knowledge about finance means you can have more meaningful discussions and develop a better plan with your financial advisor. (and hopefully so you can recognize when an advisor isn't acting in your best interests)

I absolutely love that I've gotten to this channel from my interest in investment on youtube and it's taken me back to my childhood of MTG. Also makes me realize how much some of the cards I gave away would have gone for.

These are my favorite type of Rudy videos 24:40 Rudy explains why carrying debt can make a company money

[@johnbuffman1935]

That’s a lot of purchasing power Mr. Rudy.

[@Crisper333]

36:00 - 36:40....... dropping some serious truths. ONLY Pumping, and not dumping, put you in a rare market position in the MTG asset class. BOTH sides of the market are good for you when you stay the course. It's a rare win/win you have where if people don't buy what you're after then you get to buy at a cheaper price. If they DO buy then the value of your assets that are the same rise in value. Interesting stuff Ruby, verrrrrrrry interesting.

[@Ethan-pd7nu]

I teach financial and cost accounting part time (I do it for fun mostly) at a local college. We go over a handful of chapters on bonds and the time value of money. Fun watching you explain it. Really hope people actually pay attention to these videos.

Excellent lesson! I work for a discount brokerage in Canada and I played Magic when I was growing up from 1995 off and on to about 2002 so I appreciate all the types of content you produce. I believe you touched on this but Im personally very interested to see you talk about how you balance the different asset classes you mention you are in, Real estate, collectibles, buying debt, youtube and your Retail and Restaurant operations. Seems like a lot to juggle and I would value hearing about your thought process and approach to managing everything while keeping your creepiness at full mast. Giggity

[@arabiannights5301]

Diversify as much as possible, between digital and physical assets as well. It's simply the smartest and safest possible course to distribute your eggs amongst as many possible baskets. Stocks, bonds, precious metals, crypto, even collectibles. The physicals are a reliable way to store money long-term with a guarantee of appreciation (if you buy right), and the digitals often have the potential to make you legitimate money in a more short-term (with of course more risk). A stable career on top of that essentially assures you lifelong financial success and stability.
