I've been subscribed since 1.3k subscribers and these are the videos that keep me around. Not much in to magic trading anymore but these financial talk videos are what led me to get my credit straight in 2018, buy my house in 2020, build over 100k in assests i could cash out on at any point. Im not rich, but i have no debt and live a free life. Really need to give thanks to these types of videos Rudy has produced.
Rudy serious comment here. Watching you from Portugal btw. I've started to play MTG on the late 90's when i was a kid, introduced to magic by a school teacher that created a magic club to channel new players and rip them off by taking their best cards agaisnt a bulk of common worthless ones. Nevertheless I've kept my stash of vintage cards and stopped playing around 2007, buying some bulk magic now and then just for the fun of it. Introduced my daughter to magic this year so i could play with someone on paper. Anyway i know your channel for along time. Been watching your videos for the magic mambo jambo and to do a quick follow-up on the magic world over the years. However, as I've grown and my mindset started to shift, as i started to stabilize my life and put money aside on investiments, I started to read between the lines, the good stuff that you put on these videos, which is where the GOLD is at. Your experience on the market, your view of the economy and how market behave. I wish more people would share their knowledge like you do. It is more valuable than a 4 year theory course that's for sure. I also don't hold too much expectations for new generations for following these Digital Rug Pullers and Pseudo Alchimists always trying to sell the secret for the next big thing. Not even sure they will bang their head until the point thei realize there are no free rides. I've also banged my head on the market trading OIL during Lybia civil war, or GOLD during the early COVID when GOLD spiralled out of control. Anyway, thank you for these kind of videos but let me tell you that the tone on your voice for the entire video and specially on the end felt like you are broken, sad of some sort. Man it felt like you are embracing a nihilistic feeling. Don't, that's like giving up. Along the way there are always losers and winners. For someone to win, there must a loser. People choose their own path, i gave up on lecturing those that don't want to listen. You are damn right, the clock is ticking and Life is a hell of a ride. I can understand that now at 37 years old! Cheers man!
Rudy thanks for your advice in this video flexing your real paintings . I always wondered what the significance of them was to you to have them and if they were original . Good for you. Been doing the grind for 5 years now steadily and everything you say here is true. I’m not Rudy ballin yet but I’m doing very well and this video made you lowkey a hero to me . 20% of what I have invested now would pay me more than I make in a year working. I doubt you’ll see this but I wouldn’t mind a video showing the paintings like a weird museum docent and maybe letting us know more about them and it might help you in whatever your venture is with them. Living the dream
Hey Rudy, I am that guy who is turning wrenches and doing side hustles to try and get ahead. I'm 26 years old and I only have about 12000$ in investments, Can you make a video talking about your turning point from when you went from turning wrenches and waiting tables to making more meaningful income. I am a union Iron worker and I have a decent progression path but I am trying to get into real estate full time to start making meaningful wealth. I was shocked to hear your change in net worth. I really want to have full control over my time and that is why seeking a level of wealth to live off of is important for me I really love these kinds of videos they are a real help for an aspiring legendary stock investor. More videos like this and a video on how your turning point happened would be very very much appreciated.
as someone who is 27 and doing sort of the same thing. best thing is have no debt never have debt. not going to say what to invest in but use that money for something that will make more money. I also want to add don't focus too much on stocks like when to buy when to not. Choose somthing promising and already successful to start and just every paycheck put $100-$200 to it. Even if it is a simple s&p500 fund. I personally chose Embridge because that was the job I was aspiring to work for. And now i have 30k into it and it pays me money for just having those shares. Not saying to buy that stock as it is over valued atm but the idea is dollar cost average. And minimum have $5000+ aside for emergencies
The best investment is in yourself. If youre prepared to work hard some businesses like cleaning roofs or pavements have low barrier to entry and pays well. If you want to invest then get some index funds every months. Sp500 msci world etc And then never touch it again. This is the only sure fire way for long term secure and successful investing.
You are wise beyond your years Rudy. I'm grateful your'e willing to share as I love to listen Brother. Newer patron and so glad I found you. I will always support you. The paintings are wonderful! Robert from Washington.
i like what you said at the end about the paintings. i buy and collect a lot of 18th century books and it has a similar effect. i feel myself very attached to that time period and removed from the current one. it was an amazing era. one of my favorite essay writers, william hazlitt, was also a portrait painter and had a lot of essays about painters and painting. both books and paintings were really hot topics in the 18th century.
He made a video where he had rifles all over his hallway and he was laying on the ground talking magic. Maybe 2016? I think he had to take it down due to youtubes lame guidlines
Im a cpa man. Been listening to your advice since 2020. I have amassed quite the collection since then. You’ve helped me a lot man. I’m still holding sealed too. Thank you Rudy
Appreciate your total perspective, always. Never stop. We can take what you see from your wealth level then think for ourselves and filter what you say through our own experience. Very valuable. Sometimes more than money as it allows for safe reactions without the direct experience to naturally be sage. Also, nice taste in art. Looks dope
Love this video. Appreciate the lecture. Only debt I have is 2 mortgages and trying to figure out what to do, how to build. However it works out, it'll work out
that was a great 40 mins of advice Rudy, and kind of an eye opener once again here! thanks a lot for sharing your experience of so many years! 🙂 kudos from Germany!
I'm not really into Magic and similar things, but the video is brilliant-a lot of solid financial insights. I'm not a fan of cards and Lego collectibles, but I love your painting collection. Congrats!
Thanks man, you reignited the drive to start my own business. I’m an EE, but I’ve always wanted to start a remodeling business. I was just always too afraid, so I went the safe route and got an engineering degree. Although I love my job and what I do, I’m not passionate about it like I am working with my hands and creating things and I want to leave my family something they can build on and hopefully give them a better life. Thank you for ranting about nothing 😂 it helped a lot. Also check out documentary about the Medici family, they were one of the most powerful families in Europe, they basically funded the renaissance. I believe it’s on pbs. Thanks again!
My very first stock I bought was in a company going public. A company whose product I had worked extensively with and adored. A company I truly believed in. I put every available cent I had into that IPO. It wasn’t very much (a few thousand at the time). That company went from $17 at open to almost $150 over the course of two years. I sold half at $85, and the other half at a little over $100. At the time, I was pissed I didn’t get out at the very top. Now, looking back? That was an anomaly. That was a combination of right place right time and pure luck. I wish I had taken out loans to buy more of it, but I would have been so incredibly screwed if I did and it tanked.
Burning the clock till you’re dead !!! Beautifully put ! And I also love the wall of art .. it’s probably just me but you truly are a wonderful human I only wish our paths had crossed in real life …
I've enjoyed watching you succeed due to all your hard work on here. I know there are other things you do besides TCGs and UA-cam, but anyone watching you who has ever thought about starting a UA-cam channel talking about whatever the hell it is they want to talk about should see your success and be inspired. Sure, most will not go anywhere....but some will and that's why they should try.
Rudy, I've been a fan for years and genuinely took some of your advice a few years ago, and it radically changed my life. You're not always right, but sometimes you can really call what's happening in the world. I agree with most of what you said here. I also am positive that the majority of the people who should listen to your advice won't, and they'll curse the world after losing most or all of their investments.
I don't know how I came across you. Solid. Your honesty is brilliant. 5m in I need to watch this later. Your words were what I needed to hear and I thought I wanted silence.
Paradox rift is definitely a hot buy right now. One of the best sleeper sets of scarlet and violet era. On that note. Thanks for the talk Rudy. Much love from Australia
Ok how does one buy 1000 pokemon booster boxes? I know you got to go wholesale but how do you even do that? Do you have to have an LLC to even purchase from a disbruitor?
Latest thing is seeing these people getting grifted in BBBYQ, AMC, GME, etc looking for a short squeeze to get rich quick, while they're all down massively but still believing the magic beans will one day pay off.
Damn Rudy you articulated my entrie argument to most of my oh so lost family. Why worry about all these different BS things that you cannot control and just focus on your own life and what you can control. Ever since I evolved into that point of view that none of this stuff matters everything has fallen into place.
thanks for the inspiration man you are the man. i just grap a bunch of collector box from local shop that did not realise they have spike in price recently,i'm already like 30%+ gain at buy in haha, thanks to you, have a good year, this will be so fun looking at those price go to the roof i got wild of eldraine/unfinity/phyrexia awbo/outlaws/dominaria united/socery arthurian legend. looking forward for the next 2 years for the fun ride!
I’ve never played Magic or any other card games, but this is one of the best channels on UA-cam. You’re truly special, just by being genuine and true to yourself. I have so much love and respect for you. I really needed this-thank you, Rudy.

@@freshblood6398bitcoin is a scam
i bought my place in 2020 as well, high five 🙏🏼 great decision homie.
Bro I don't even play any card game and I'm here for years 😅
Yes this is the good stuff! Rudy taking the edge of the hype since it only leads to bad decisions and unhappy endings. Keep up the good work!
The sad reality is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it reinvest the yield for compound gains.
Tiny thanks for the real talk
Smoking too much weed and cleaning my room to this, thank you cardboard man.
Dude darts.
Accurate a f.
The best possible use of a 45 minute Rudy video
Same
No such thing as too much weed my friend 🤝🏻
I see negative title, I click
Is it me or does he do this video like 5 times a year?
I have an entire playlist full of negativity which I play on loop whenever I start feeling like going outside or touching grass. ( o.o)
yup thats why it was labled that way for clicks.
I'll hold onto my 400+ position of French printed [Delay] forever, Rudy, you can't have them.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Truly a man of culture.
Ill give you Moldova for them
No clue what's this about.
But I know Rudy wants them.
Just Say No 😶
Man that's Regarded
PLEASE next video needs to be inside a fake jet studio!
Background is real. Rudy is greenscreen. Thanks for the video
Rudy serious comment here. Watching you from Portugal btw. I've started to play MTG on the late 90's when i was a kid, introduced to magic by a school teacher that created a magic club to channel new players and rip them off by taking their best cards agaisnt a bulk of common worthless ones. Nevertheless I've kept my stash of vintage cards and stopped playing around 2007, buying some bulk magic now and then just for the fun of it. Introduced my daughter to magic this year so i could play with someone on paper. Anyway i know your channel for along time. Been watching your videos for the magic mambo jambo and to do a quick follow-up on the magic world over the years. However, as I've grown and my mindset started to shift, as i started to stabilize my life and put money aside on investiments, I started to read between the lines, the good stuff that you put on these videos, which is where the GOLD is at. Your experience on the market, your view of the economy and how market behave. I wish more people would share their knowledge like you do. It is more valuable than a 4 year theory course that's for sure. I also don't hold too much expectations for new generations for following these Digital Rug Pullers and Pseudo Alchimists always trying to sell the secret for the next big thing. Not even sure they will bang their head until the point thei realize there are no free rides. I've also banged my head on the market trading OIL during Lybia civil war, or GOLD during the early COVID when GOLD spiralled out of control. Anyway, thank you for these kind of videos but let me tell you that the tone on your voice for the entire video and specially on the end felt like you are broken, sad of some sort. Man it felt like you are embracing a nihilistic feeling. Don't, that's like giving up. Along the way there are always losers and winners. For someone to win, there must a loser. People choose their own path, i gave up on lecturing those that don't want to listen. You are damn right, the clock is ticking and Life is a hell of a ride. I can understand that now at 37 years old!

Oh no shit I just got to the part where you do that 😭
I've been watching these videos for years, at least 5 or 6.
Love to see you doing well.
Thanks!
Cardboard wisdom right from the museum. Needed this talk, Rudy. Thank you.

You are doing good. Only 30% gen z have that much money saved. Source: Forbes. Learn about index funds with low expenses. Keep doing what you do.
As he said, don't get in debt, live within your means, don't Jones over what other people have. Slow and steady wins the race.
You’re on the right track bro. Keep going. Keep educating yourself. You’re going to make it
The best investment is in yourself. If youre prepared to work hard some businesses like cleaning roofs or pavements have low barrier to entry and pays well. If you want to invest then get some index funds every months. Sp500 msci world etc
And then never touch it again. This is the only sure fire way for long term secure and successful investing.
Nice green screen Rudy but I prefer the cardboard box basement one.

Waiting for the "3 steps ahead" video where Rudy reveals he's been stockpiling ammo and lube for 20 years.
He made a video where he had rifles all over his hallway and he was laying on the ground talking magic. Maybe 2016? I think he had to take it down due to youtubes lame guidlines
Im a cpa man. Been listening to your advice since 2020. I have amassed quite the collection since then. You’ve helped me a lot man. I’m still holding sealed too. Thank you Rudy
Thank you for share you paintings with us. BEAUTIFUL
Great video, loved the final minute or two when you were talking about the paintings.
Enjoyed the little art history at the end Rudy! Nice stuff!
Always appreciate the long financial talks Rudy. Thanks for talking about the paintings a bit too.
Ikr that was awesome. Those paintings are freaking beautiful 😍
Appreciate your total perspective, always. Never stop. We can take what you see from your wealth level then think for ourselves and filter what you say through our own experience. Very valuable.

Dude Rudy you will never read this but you are amazing and your life is an inspiration to me!!! 🎉
I subscribed today. This video just affirmed my decision. Thanks Rudy!
Love this video. Appreciate the lecture. Only debt I have is 2 mortgages and trying to figure out what to do, how to build. However it works out, it'll work out
that was a great 40 mins of advice Rudy, and kind of an eye opener once again here! thanks a lot for sharing your experience of so many years! 🙂
kudos from Germany!
Must see video several times over time. It’s Rudy’s best one ever! 👍 Thanks Rudy for the refresher.
@AlphaInvestments
Where do you buy your art? It's gorgeous.
Wish
It’s all perspective. Absolute banger video
Anyone else distracted by rudys finger at the end of the video 😂 great video by the way, flew by! Love the long rudy talks
Amazing video. Will be watching again with both my Sons. They should teach Rudy to all kids in High School.
I'm not really into Magic and similar things, but the video is brilliant-a lot of solid financial insights. I'm not a fan of cards and Lego collectibles, but I love your painting collection. Congrats!
Thanks for going over your paintings! Your passion comes across in your voice.
Greatest video on UA-cam. Thanks for the reminder brother!
Really appreciate you going through the paintings!
been watching this guy since Khans of Tarkir. Still all about that fetch

Thank you Rudy! I'm doing great thanks to you. You called me an idiot for buying things with my debit card when I needed to hear it.
Thank you for summerizing the current scenario and showing that everything misleading/wrong is just repeating itself in a different way, good lessons.
Thank you for always being a real one, Rudy. I appreciate the real talk.
Wondering, how to take care/preserve the condition of your paintings?
Burning the clock till you’re dead !!! Beautifully put ! And I also love the wall of art .. it’s probably just me but you truly are a wonderful human I only wish our paths had crossed in real life …
When is the Rudy Art Museum opening up?
Honestly great message Rudy. Too many people don't understand.
The closing outro is pure gold❤thanks Rudy
How does one get into art investments? Now i'm curious.
I love these videos, keeps me going.
Going to need a wheelbarrow to carry my goods after thos pep talk.
Been hating that I freaking love and almost always agree with Rudy for 10 years.
I've enjoyed watching you succeed due to all your hard work on here.

On the plus side, did enjoy the painting walkthrough
Where do u find these paintings for sale? U said some from museums how do u know they are trying to get rid of them?
worderful advise and a beautiful wall of art :)
More of these please 💙 Rudy Zen
Taking the time to explain the paintings was much appreciated.
No lie Rudy, I'm starting to like you more and more. You're a real ass dude!
Love these chats man thank you
These paintings are wonderful. I bought my first three paintings at auction two months ago and I love them.
What a badass moment. Thanks , buddy 🫡
Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing and discussing your art collection!
One day they will make a Rudy Netflix documentary
Thank you for the info on the paintings, very cool stuff man
Really good, love the paintings
I don't know how I came across you.
Solid.
Your honesty is brilliant. 5m in I need to watch this later. Your words were what I needed to hear and I thought I wanted silence.
Thank you Rudy. You're always right. I don't care what anyone says.
You're a madman for putting all of those paintings on one wall but individually they are excellent.
It is in the Art Salon style. Actually classy AF.
As large as his basement mansion is, he doesn't have as many walls as his money laundering needs require.
@@cbrpnk1789someone doesn't know what classy means lol
And very undervalued in general.
can confirm... he does not have all his paintings on one wall.
Paradox rift is definitely a hot buy right now. One of the best sleeper sets of scarlet and violet era. On that note. Thanks for the talk Rudy. Much love from Australia
Were all the paintings back then of dudes in chairs?
Thanks Rudy, great vid.
Especialy the middle part about jobs, socials, influencers.
I will be showing this to my banking interns next week.
Loved the ending talking about the paintings
thanks for the art bit at the end, i was wondering about them
Thanks for sharing your wisdom Rudy.
Thank you Rudy for sharing your experience, wisdom, and showing off your collection of the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.
Ok how does one buy 1000 pokemon booster boxes? I know you got to go wholesale but how do you even do that? Do you have to have an LLC to even purchase from a disbruitor?
stay humble and stay you! keep it going man. appreciate your videos
21:00 The use of the word "distortion" is brilliant as it is direct terminology from Psychology (cognitive distortions).
Great video Rudy.. I appreciate you!
As always, thanks for your advice Rudy.
Thanks for the painting tour!
Thank you sir 😁 my favorite investment of the year... Lotr!!
Mostly lurked here for pokemon videos once I got back into collecting, this video tho made me subscribe. No debt work hard.
Latest thing is seeing these people getting grifted in BBBYQ, AMC, GME, etc looking for a short squeeze to get rich quick, while they're all down massively but still believing the magic beans will one day pay off.
I enjoy these videos the most, Rudy you need a financial podcast
Damn Rudy you articulated my entrie argument to most of my oh so lost family. Why worry about all these different BS things that you cannot control and just focus on your own life and what you can control. Ever since I evolved into that point of view that none of this stuff matters everything has fallen into place.
thanks for the inspiration man you are the man. i just grap a bunch of collector box from local shop that did not realise they have spike in price recently,i'm already like 30%+ gain at buy in haha, thanks to you, have a good year, this will be so fun looking at those price go to the roof i got wild of eldraine/unfinity/phyrexia awbo/outlaws/dominaria united/socery arthurian legend. looking forward for the next 2 years for the fun ride!
Most important speech out there. ty

Thank you for continuing to relay the truth. That 1% is listening. They just usually don't post comments.
