I honestly enjoy when you lay out information that is of genuine use regardless of whether it is specifically targeted towards magic. Learning to properly wield credit is an important skill in todays world.
The important thing is to learn to swing them around yourself in that impressive figure of eight pattern that makes you look badass but take care so that the sharp edge doesn't slice you in two.
Wish you weren't so ignorant, it's why I can't watch you anymore, quit talking out your ass about things you think you know. You might find that you get a better following.
I would argue targeting versus providing capital to people who always fall into interest. Sadly too many people live beyond their means and statistics show that lower income overspends on material unecessarry items. You will find wealthy people can't be taken advantage of easily as they are usually cheap/frugal. Not my opinion just what the research shows and banks will always go for the higher interest money grab
I think it means its targeting people who earn around average or below average wager who need cash like say you borrow 100 but the intrest keeps going up very high and people are unable to pay. so the bank earns this back in property or money they lose 100 but gain property worth say 20,000 cause the intrest rates were so high. if i understand rudy correctly the company thing is an example it could be any other conpany like a light and water company and it could be anything thats worth value and shops buy cards cheaper than market price so that they can sell it at market price so they cheat and gain money and the owner loses out
@@Netsonar69 might i ask where you get these statistics from cause most people actually need money for month to month living i know some cases there are those who spend on material things but most spend on basic needs
YeOldeBassist m8 the stress that poverty brings makes people spurg out of control on both necessities and luxury goods. People who have been worried about surviving the past 4 months aren’t going to think that they’re money is investable and that they can make a 4% gain over the next 4 months. You’re putting out talking points that are used by politicians as an excuse to remove social safety nets and blame the poor on the counties woes
Dear Rudy, these are my favorite types of videos, I’ve never played bought or held a magic card but I find the collections/value fascinating, and when you delve a little out of that world to explain these lessons that can apply to many other things that’s what I love the most
Excellent little nugget there: you've got to enjoy it. Good advice in general. Being stressed out by something clouds your judgment, and makes you fail to see options and opportunities.
Thank you for being suck a great channel and such a wealth of information for the community. I finally joined your patreon and ordered 3 boxes of Modern Horizons. Can't wait until I can order other sets and then the commander 2020 decks eventually
It's video's like this that do 2 things. They show that Rudy IS an average individual who's accomplished great success due to his passion and education, also showing us that we could do the same. The second thing is that they keep me coming back to see what you have to say. Keep up the great work
8:50. THIS is the most important aspect people overlook when investing in Magic cards - especially sealed product. It's exactly why I got out of the booster box game.
Right is great time for booster box game - judging by your name - id assume youre a 90s kid - I want to say this is wave 3 of mtg. Wave 1 is Seattle, wave 2 is ice age, right now is where i think the next generation of nostalgia starts. Dont break yourself, but keep your mind open. Remember when you cracked that card that beat you the last game during lunch time.
I recently started watching these videos and it made me want to buy a starter box of boosters, possibly buy one for each set that comes out, I plan to leave them for 10 or so years and see how much I can get for them.. but knowing me, I'll just open them in 10 years and look at all the pretty pictures, haha
Smart guy. Still I wonder why youtube recommends me these magic videos. I've never played magic, owned magic cards or even hold a single magic card in my hands.
Rudy! Sometimes when I'm home alone I like to shout your name like you do at the beginning of your videos. Because of you I bought my first box of magic I won't open. Shoving a box of modern horizons into my closet and we'll see what happens in 2-3 years. Then I went and got some tacos so it was a good night.
Duel deck Blessed vs Cursed is spiking because of gravecrawler. What a great investment. Up until last week you could still find them 20$ with shipping. Those days are gone. Glad I went all in on that & menfolk vs goblins! Packed with sure thing great cards!!!
I am an investor, and the risks Rudy points out in this video are the main reasons I never take loans, but instead keep reinvesting my own profits as capital for new investments. It can be _very_ slow to amass a serious amount capital this way, but it is the safest route, as you never have to worry about paying any money back. Honestly, I'm fairly certain I could make a lot more by taking a loan (leveraging), but that involves a possible risk that I don't want. Also, like Rudy said, you really have to keep your eye on the prize; If you're impatient, investing is not for you.
Damn I loved you for being a good boy knowing much just liking your commentaries. But you're an intelligent ass dude that has learned systems. Only recently discovered the extent of the bulk of your magic booster box collection for unboxings. You're a fucking legend in my book. With some serious entrepreneur mentality
I love these video’s....In europe we don’t use creditcards much, so I try to use excess liquidity. Since cards increase slowly in value, I buy and wait.....HODL 🙃
Rudy started out describing buying magic cards. In the end he described junk bonds, coporate debt, and defined benefit plans. Remember 2020 will be the year of the Timmys.
I believe he actually invented the whole living in basement of parent(s) situation. Even before there were basements he was already doing this. You know he has a time machine right?
I moved out, my gf was being a bitch. my parents called and said "we miss you come back" so i did. fuck it your parents love ya more then anyone else, they arent getting younger. live with love and forget society
Love videos of this nature hairy investing man. I love magic cards, but I'm in no position to invest in them. Still fun to learn how this market is evolving, and how it was before I was paying attention. I look forward to your videos this year for sure!
I remembered I did that too before 2008. Citi’s offers were the best. Some have 18 to 24 months interest free plus 3% transaction fee maxed at $100. Some you pay low interest 2.5% fixed but no fee (make sure max amount and don’t use card till paid off). Then I used the money on high interest savings account with FDIC or bought savings bonds with credit card (2003). Those were the good days. Now, I have about $1,800 student loan left at 2.5% fixed (I had $21,000 consolidated loan at 2.5% fixed since 2006). Bottom line, if you are going to leverage, find something stable return yield and liquidity. Cards can have good return but not liquidity. If you plan to flip, be aware that others are doing the same thanks to social media where they brag about everything. You miss out element of surprise.
I somehow subscribed to Rudy a couple of years ago after a rabbit hole on UA-cam. Despite not ever watching, owning or playing MTG, and no plan to if I'm honest. I look at it more as an obvious investment opportunity more than a great game. Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't MTG basically a pretty long term investment? Why the hell would you take a loan for a LTI expecting to pay interest?? Rudy is spot on with time flying in my comment alone. Couple of years feels like yesterday, and your comment about putting things off and all of a sudden it's month 10-11. Even with basic tasks. Thanks for another solid video. - Mike^2
Very informal video Rudy, I'm trying to branch into bigger capital, but magic cards shift so fast. At least the newer ones. Most of the old sets stay pretty high and meaty.
Credit Cards can be helpful, Out of college I got a Credit card from a local bank with a 4% Interest rate, but managed to pay it off every month. It allowed me to slowly build Credit over the next 2 years and since it was my only line of Credit, when making larger purchases on things or signing up for better cards - My credit was awesome from paying it off each month! However people beware of credit cards however, I've had some friends in debt only able to pay the interest each month. Be smart with your purchases and be able to pay it off as soon as you can and they can be valuable tools! Then you can buy lots of magic cards!
I've been doing the second option you talked about with the money I've been talking for investments, but I keep it within my range where I can pay in full before the interest kicks in.
Or just don't bet what you cannot afford to lose. Start by flipping small collections and then work your way up to big boy reserved list investments. This isn't hard people, also don't be afraid to offend people offer what you can and if they get upset or you're too far apart walk away. Always be polite but know when there isn't money in it.
H.A.M that’s what I did... I started with $200 and kept flipping small collections. Fast forward 2 years and I just sold one binder for $8,000 with a large collection left to sell.
Just balance transfer to another 0% card and pay the 3% - it's better than the 15%-22% he would be paying. Some cards even have 0 fee balance transfers.
I've got 7,500 units of this food item that expires feb 2020. My cost was $1.09 each. I'm selling 2 for 13.49 on Amazon, after fees I get 7.19 for the 2. I need to drop my price so they sell faster before they expire. My target wholesale price to local stores is $2 each, they will turn around and sell for 4$. I got someone who would buy 5,000 units for $1.25 each which I would do just to get out of the market and be done. I think that person wants to sell all $1.75 each and they already have a buyer. But all the variations have their risks and rewards.
these videos are why I still follow creepy rudy to this day. I bought 1 pack of magic cards 3 years ago. I still come back every video for these and love the box openings. I know the big name Mythics, rares etc. of much of the latest magic cards but don't own a single one. Rudy is the best. He cares.
Lularo was a weird beast. At least for me. The secondary market was where all the money was. I feel sorry for everyone who signed up to sell for them. They would get so much stock but id come in, pay a little more for the choice bits and get a crazy amount of return.
Could also borrow the same amount you are able to liquidate if you needed to. So it could gain interest or whatever it's doing, while you're investing... but if something occurs you could pay it off. Could also use interest from that money to help decrease the "loan". It doesn't need to be high risk. Build up to 20k too.. don't just start there... unless you got the 20k in savings and can use it if an emergency arises.
Good advice Rudy! The person asking for advice... might need to do a bit more studying before doing any more alternative investments and using leverage.
Hey Rudy, do you think you can make an in-depth video going over the 2017 black swan event? That sounds really cool and I like the way you present this type of information. Unless you already have a video about it.
i started my Forex studys on europe before the ESMA regulation at august 2018, with 1:50 leverage but now, a year later with more knowledge and a bit less money XDDD, even when i have only 1:30 after regulations i still need a micro account to get kind of inverse -leverage so i can start my empire with less than 1k, so i can hold the volatility on the dailiy chart (my place in the market, my strategy is at its final state of foward testing ;D) and avoid the mistake of "undercapitalization" Leverage+undercapitallization is the killer of new investors, and winning streaks are very destructive :D
As a former trader I will tell you forex is used by institutional banks for arbitrage versus other positions. However, if you REALLY understand markets, future institutional baskets and have the capital to hold long term positions forex can be very very profitable. Rule I follow is always take profits at pivots never gamble and always follow your algorithm that provided your technical. Also never leverage a position you can't easily cover in case you need to hold a position after a 1000+ pip dip in a position. My experience is FX always goes to the technical people lose money because they can't hold long enough to see the market correct. Forex is very very risky if you don't understand all of these things intimately
At one point I was in about $750k (yes k) down. about $700k in real estate, and $50k in credit cards and other stupid stuff. but that was just before the 2008 crash. Lost shirt. Afterward, several short sales and write-offs later... I decided it was high time to bet the $40k I saved up on some options... they busted, I lost. Since then, I don't do stupid stuff anymore. Advice from an expert at losing money? 1. Don't risk money you don't have, you'll know you don't have it when you don't see it in your account or when your net-worth worksheet is less than zero. 2. You can't lose what you don't owe on. If you owe on something, you don't own it, it owns you - and you work for whomever lent you money. 3. Don't borrow money (except to buy a the house you will live in) 4. Do that, then you can be like me... now I have money, and I'm not about to lose it. Money: what you have when you don't have bills.
Options are pretty sweet. If you were smart you would have only lost half, at worst. All you have to do is buy options for a stock for both going up and down. I don't, but I also only spend 1k here and there. You most deffinetly should not drop your entire savings. Couple hundred dollars risk for a chance to get thousands? I don't think people know enough about options. EA being a garbage company made me nearly 1 grand. Next up, US bank. What a piece of crap.
One option if you have $20,000 in CC debt is to open a new CC that has 0% purchase APR and use it for your normal stuff like food and then use the cash you are not using to pay off the $20,000 that way you don’t have to pay the balance transfer fee of 3%. This is totally interest and fee free money.
One year is just too short term for any magic investment. It is a crazy risk to have any plan where you have to make a profit and get out in under a year.
Around 4 min - humans observe/feel/sense things logarithmically, i.e. the larger something is the greater a change would need to be for you to feel it ($100 to $200 feels like a lot, but $15000 to $15100 isn't etc.) that is why time "flies" as an adult.
Don't forget the 0 percent only applies if you pay off in the 12 month period. It still accrues over time as the twelve months rolls. So, all of that gets added to the balance on the day the 12 months expires.
What are some skills that you learned during your deadtime when you were younger? I'm learning languages and doing research for my book, but what other useful stuff did you pick up?
Walllstreet targets 6% as high?! god damn. I remember at department store training they told us out of 100$ of product bought at store, 6$ of that goes back into actual store.
This is what a CFP would provide to the investor as they use our money to get rich the packages that are sold to the investor from large institutional banks are a 6% return target while the financial planners firm is making 20-30 percent. That is the sad part they use our money to get rich and payout a small piece to the person who provides the capital.
Create a budget. Much like gambling, know how much you can risk, examine the time you are willing to wait for a return. My recommendation is to look at your monthly budget, and eliminate every expense that doesn't improve your quality of life. Cigarettes, alcohol, eating out, entertainment are all choices. You can reduce or eliminate some of those choices, and build up your savings. Save up until you have an emergency fund = to 6 months of expenses in-case your heath fails or an emergency comes up. Stop borrowing, if you have to borrow, you may not need it. Pay down your Credit cards and loans. By the time you have saved that 6 months, you will have time to examine your risk tolerance. Your savings will be getting a small amount of interest. The average person has only saved a few grand for retirement by the time they reach 65 years old. Ultimately, You will have to determine if the risk of not having savings for retirement or a health emergency is what you are willing to trade off for a potential Return on Investment.
so if someone owed 80k in student loan debt, and their goal was to pay 20k per year. Would it be smart to take out a 20k loan on 0% and pay off 20k from the student loan that has interested? to get it down faster instead of letting it build over the full 12 months of a year. and then pay off the 20k loan at 0%? Does this still work since 60k is owed? Could one hypothetically take out 4 loans at 20k each fully pay off the student loan. then pay back 1 of the 4 in a year. and then get 3 more loans to pay off the 1st set of loans. pay the 2nd loan in the next year, get 2 more loans for 40k total.. so on and so forth so that in 4 years you have the 80k paid off but avoid paying any interest?
Holy shit, Chad definitely belongs in the thumbnail for this one. Rudy goes all in on Magic cards with credit while living in his moms basement and it actually pays off. Solid WSB investment advice lmao.
Quick reminder: Rudy is a high level certified Debt Wizard and this type of financial magic should not be attempted by apprentice magicians.

I like how if we use the word leverage instead of borrowed or "on credit" you guys sound more fancy.
Leverage means the credit is used on business and not frivolous shit not intended to make you any money back
Putting a midroll add right after the words 'ten minutes' classic.
Honestly after reading the title i had shivers down my spine.

But all the variations have their risks and rewards.
these videos are why I still follow creepy rudy to this day. I bought 1 pack of magic cards 3 years ago. I still come back every video for these and love the box openings. I know the big name Mythics, rares etc. of much of the latest magic cards but don't own a single one. Rudy is the best. He cares.
I remember when you told the Timmies to get credit cards...
Lularo was a weird beast. At least for me. The secondary market was where all the money was. I feel sorry for everyone who signed up to sell for them. They would get so much stock but id come in, pay a little more for the choice bits and get a crazy amount of return.
Uncle Ruby, dropping excellent advice for his fans.
Could also borrow the same amount you are able to liquidate if you needed to. So it could gain interest or whatever it's doing, while you're investing... but if something occurs you could pay it off. Could also use interest from that money to help decrease the "loan". It doesn't need to be high risk. Build up to 20k too.. don't just start there... unless you got the 20k in savings and can use it if an emergency arises.
Good advice Rudy!
The person asking for advice... might need to do a bit more studying before doing any more alternative investments and using leverage.
I came for the unbox videos, stayed for the sage advice by Rudy
Hey Rudy, do you think you can make an in-depth video going over the 2017 black swan event? That sounds really cool and I like the way you present this type of information. Unless you already have a video about it.
Andesmountain agreed a deep dive would be really interesting
Best video of Rudy ive watched
diablo ii video when rudy? What was your favorite class?
I love these talks!
i started my Forex studys on europe before the ESMA regulation at august 2018, with 1:50 leverage but now, a year later with more knowledge and a bit less money XDDD, even when i have only 1:30 after regulations i still need a micro account to get kind of inverse -leverage so i can start my empire with less than 1k, so i can hold the volatility on the dailiy chart (my place in the market, my strategy is at its final state of foward testing ;D) and avoid the mistake of "undercapitalization"
Leverage+undercapitallization is the killer of new investors, and winning streaks are very destructive :D
As a former trader I will tell you forex is used by institutional banks for arbitrage versus other positions. However, if you REALLY understand markets, future institutional baskets and have the capital to hold long term positions forex can be very very profitable. Rule I follow is always take profits at pivots never gamble and always follow your algorithm that provided your technical. Also never leverage a position you can't easily cover in case you need to hold a position after a 1000+ pip dip in a position. My experience is FX always goes to the technical people lose money because they can't hold long enough to see the market correct. Forex is very very risky if you don't understand all of these things intimately
I swear down magic card value depends entirely on investors! Once there’s a shred of uncertainty and big investors offload people are screwed!
In Brazil this Credit Card interest would be almost 400% a year. lol.
Yes, a lot of things Rudy says does not apply here. its Just like logic
At one point I was in about $750k (yes k) down. about $700k in real estate, and $50k in credit cards and other stupid stuff. but that was just before the 2008 crash. Lost shirt. Afterward, several short sales and write-offs later... I decided it was high time to bet the $40k I saved up on some options... they busted, I lost. Since then, I don't do stupid stuff anymore.
Advice from an expert at losing money?
1. Don't risk money you don't have, you'll know you don't have it when you don't see it in your account or when your net-worth worksheet is less than zero.
2. You can't lose what you don't owe on. If you owe on something, you don't own it, it owns you - and you work for whomever lent you money.
3. Don't borrow money (except to buy a the house you will live in)
4. Do that, then you can be like me... now I have money, and I'm not about to lose it.
Money: what you have when you don't have bills.
Options are pretty sweet. If you were smart you would have only lost half, at worst. All you have to do is buy options for a stock for both going up and down. I don't, but I also only spend 1k here and there. You most deffinetly should not drop your entire savings.
Couple hundred dollars risk for a chance to get thousands? I don't think people know enough about options. EA being a garbage company made me nearly 1 grand.
Next up, US bank. What a piece of crap.
Stop losses.. . Learn about them
That sounds like a crazy thing to do!
We need more of these videos ...
One option if you have $20,000 in CC debt is to open a new CC that has 0% purchase APR and use it for your normal stuff like food and then use the cash you are not using to pay off the $20,000 that way you don’t have to pay the balance transfer fee of 3%. This is totally interest and fee free money.
I'm going to watch this video everyday until its drilled in this just makes SENSE
One year is just too short term for any magic investment. It is a crazy risk to have any plan where you have to make a profit and get out in under a year.
Ruby!
Leverage brakes empires. One of the truest things I have ever heard. Here I am 2021 and the national debt has ballooned. Leverage brakes empires.
Rudy we love you man
great math there at 5:40...
is that RudyMath?
Around 4 min - humans observe/feel/sense things logarithmically, i.e. the larger something is the greater a change would need to be for you to feel it ($100 to $200 feels like a lot, but $15000 to $15100 isn't etc.) that is why time "flies" as an adult.
I have like 5 credit cards and never heard of boucing, might look into it cause raising my credit limit is fun to me.
Don't forget the 0 percent only applies if you pay off in the 12 month period. It still accrues over time as the twelve months rolls. So, all of that gets added to the balance on the day the 12 months expires.
Are you going to buy out the rest of his collection and share it with us :3
Holy smokes!!! It's 2019 "Ricky from trailer park boys" Rudy!!
Please open your next video with "smokes let's go"
Or my favorite way is cash! Remove all that stress and wait and sell at your own pace.
David H you can make more money if you have more money it’s just a fact of life
Lmao the Wall Street bets guy is the thumbnail
What are some skills that you learned during your deadtime when you were younger? I'm learning languages and doing research for my book, but what other useful stuff did you pick up?
12:35 it hurts :(
Walllstreet targets 6% as high?! god damn. I remember at department store training they told us out of 100$ of product bought at store, 6$ of that goes back into actual store.
This is what a CFP would provide to the investor as they use our money to get rich the packages that are sold to the investor from large institutional banks are a 6% return target while the financial planners firm is making 20-30 percent. That is the sad part they use our money to get rich and payout a small piece to the person who provides the capital.
Ouch that seriously hurts.
Create a budget. Much like gambling, know how much you can risk, examine the time you are willing to wait for a return. My recommendation is to look at your monthly budget, and eliminate every expense that doesn't improve your quality of life. Cigarettes, alcohol, eating out, entertainment are all choices. You can reduce or eliminate some of those choices, and build up your savings. Save up until you have an emergency fund = to 6 months of expenses in-case your heath fails or an emergency comes up. Stop borrowing, if you have to borrow, you may not need it. Pay down your Credit cards and loans. By the time you have saved that 6 months, you will have time to examine your risk tolerance. Your savings will be getting a small amount of interest. The average person has only saved a few grand for retirement by the time they reach 65 years old. Ultimately, You will have to determine if the risk of not having savings for retirement or a health emergency is what you are willing to trade off for a potential Return on Investment.
so if someone owed 80k in student loan debt, and their goal was to pay 20k per year. Would it be smart to take out a 20k loan on 0% and pay off 20k from the student loan that has interested? to get it down faster instead of letting it build over the full 12 months of a year. and then pay off the 20k loan at 0%? Does this still work since 60k is owed? Could one hypothetically take out 4 loans at 20k each fully pay off the student loan. then pay back 1 of the 4 in a year. and then get 3 more loans to pay off the 1st set of loans. pay the 2nd loan in the next year, get 2 more loans for 40k total.. so on and so forth so that in 4 years you have the 80k paid off but avoid paying any interest?
Holy shit, Chad definitely belongs in the thumbnail for this one. Rudy goes all in on Magic cards with credit while living in his moms basement and it actually pays off. Solid WSB investment advice lmao.
Loved when Rudy was trying to say LulaRoe.
