I hope I can speak for all of your viewers when I say we appreciate the dedication you have to your channel,and how we enjoy a few moments of levity during the day to see some packs cracked,a little discussion during,and a overall enjoyable experiance. We appreciate it rudy,keep on keeping on!
i took ur advice rudy and converted all of my assets into wood pellets for wood burning stoves to capitalize on the eventual demand when the electricity grids shut down due to covid infection
All winter I've just been cutting down Spruce trees infested with the spruce bark beetle plague we have had up in AK the past decade or so. Wood stove, generator, power inverter, and a couple solar panels; I'm good to go up here. That is until it becomes all 'Mad Max' and the Fossil Fuel Wars for the Pipeline begin.
I watch to the very end of most of the box opening videos. Every once in a while Rudy says something that really sounds heartfelt and poignant. I don’t know what he experienced during the ‘08 crash, but it seems like he has a lot of genuine empathy for the traders waking up every day and trying to mitigate the disaster that is the current market climate. Kudos, Rudy. Thanks, for a welcome respite from these tense times. Best wishes. ~Fellow Floridian and MTG player since 1994.☺️
Hi Rudy, I have been watching your channel for a couple years now, love all of your content with my undergraduate background in Finance and Economics. I am now pursuing my PhD (design thinking) in AUS, although I am a Kiwi. I see COVID-19 as a huge opportunity to invest in myself, thinking about pursuing my SCRUM certification and creating some content on agile/digital transformation at scale for TH-cam as I would love to break into the MBB consulting world post research. I know you came from the IB world which is as, if not more competitive; what else would you recommend investing my time in? Again, love what you're doing! And everyone, STAY THE COURSE! And please stay safe. :)
Rudy! After the repo markets seized, all my hugely levered unhedged risk parity trades blew up! And I'm not even a hedge fund! When the CFTC came and looked at my operations, they determined it was just a bunch of high-interest credit cards charging money off each other, in circular fashion, accelerating funds to velocities up to 85 MPH! Great Scott! ( oДo)
Thank you Rudy. Great Video, nice to hear of your concerns for others, I would become a patron in an instant, but I'm in the UK and my only option is Amazon. Keep safe, and thanks again for another interested Throne opening.
When will you do the sectors and stocks hit by the crisis ? really looking forward to hear you speak on the airlines, cruise companies, oil, ... thanks Rudy !
Hi Rudy, just a quick question : What is your favorite magic set regarding illustrations and visuals ? Which one looks the best for you ? Thanks in advance !
I was given the choice to move to another office and 'telecommute' from there, or be 'furloughed' until the local office opens back up. I be movin'. I also got it in writing as an updated employment contract, in case things happen.
If i get my paycheck in time, I am totally going to support you on Patreon, which I have never done for anyone before, but just your commentary, suggestions, and advice are worth supporting you. On a side note, do you really think Property and investing in real estate is that worthwhile? I mean, God forbid, and also, I HOPE highly unlikely, but if this Cerveza Influenza somehow spreads and mutates, and wipes out a couple billion people across the world, will land really hold a fraction of value? I guess that's one of those high risk high rewards you were talking about, like a huge point swing in stocks. Gold? Gemstones? Personally, I'm up in Alaska, so all I am really planning on hoarding is "the 3 B's", which is Bullets, Booze, and sweet sticky Bud. 😎
Can someone tell me how patron works? I'd love to support Rudy and get cheap MTG boxes. If I sign up will I be able to only buy some of the new sets or some olds sets as well? (New as in his inventory only ig). Thanks!
@@iPhone4Gaddict And when they do, they'll sell their inventories and the secondary market tanks hard. But hey, stay the course if you want to get rekt.
"market can go up a thousand points, then other weeks the market tanks 2,3,4 thousand points" Based on that commentary, Rudy is expecting Dow 10,000 makes a return.
I started an ok paying job in december (which luckily makes me work from home) and I decided to slowly start a stock portfolio with 10% of my monthly after tax revenue. December: up 0,5% January: up 2,5% February: DOWN 10% MARCH: DOWN 25% Nevertheless, as creepy rudy says, I stay the course
Question: What if the Corona Virus emerges again in the Fall like the Spanish Flu? Is it still a good idea to start investing $1000 a week over the course of the next 6 months ~ just wondering, because I'm considering taking your advice, because it seems like solid advice.
Think about the exposure you get by drafting in a store if someone is a symptomless carrier of the virus. 8 people sitting around a table, passing around cards and talking. After that you'll talk and pass around cards face to face with 3 or more people for ~40min each. Before the population is vaccinated (timeline of 12 months would be close to a miracle) an FNM is a terrible idea. So no, don't invest in anything that is dependent on people gathering together.
I wish small businesses were open so I could spend money there...would love to go buy a nice meal somewhere and tip someone very well to help them through this BS government has created....damn shame.
Economical equilibrium is destined to crash, that is just nature, and we are doing this cycle over and over. Solution would be growth, unlimited growth, but first we need to handle human greed.
I just started to play mtg online, and I can't believe the prices, some cards more than cardboard due to the virus, everyone playing online, raises demand.. Timmy out! Diggity
Question...what if I only have 100$ to invest? I'm comfortable enough to get a job after this hallebelu but i'm in college. I don't have a lot of money at all but I got my tax returns. Thoughts?
1. pay down high % interest debt. I do not consider student loan debt to be high % interest, but depending on the amount of debt they can get brutal. If your normal debt repayment is more 20% of your monthly budget, this number 1 priority is more critical than your budget for hobbies. 2. If you have a part-time/full-time job with a 401k where the company will match, pay into your 401k until they don't match. Don't miss out on free money. 3. build a 6 month emergency fund. Take your monthly budget * 1.5 * 6. So really, monthly budget * 9. Throw it into a money market account or a CD ladder. 4. Invest in yourself (nice bed/mattress, you sleep in it ~third of your life) 5. Invest where you feel comfortable as to the risk. Exchange funds, individual stocks, bonds, commodities, sealed MTG, etc. If you just want to try investing as a hobby at this point in your life, plan it into your monthly budget and ignore 3/4/5 in the list.
Rudy, are you related to *David Graf* from Police Academy? 🤔 🤨 The reason i ask this is because you look a lot like him. You could be his son and not know.
Rudy: Brazen Borrower is the only other expensive Mythic! Rudy 2 seconds later: You gotta keep an eye on the market! Great Henge, Questing Beast and Embercleave: Who is this dumb dumb?
Rudy been trying to contact you about my flesh and blood order... why are leaving me hanging like my saggy left nut.😂 Also... stay the course... don’t be a Timmy.
"Today's topic and commentary" will be exactly the same as yesterday's and tomorrow's topic and commentary. You are doing the same video over and over again.
But Rudy, Once upon..."Rudy: STAY THE COURSE" Me: No really though, Once Upon a time... "Rudy: STAY" Me: No Really! "Rudy: THE" Me: It's only 70 cen "Rudy: COURSE" Me: Okay..... "Rudy: Stay the course..." Me: Okay."Rudy: NO, SAY IT NOW" Me: STAY THE COURSE! "Rudy: Okay" Me: Okay
Who is becoming a millionaire from nothing after this? That doesn't make sense considering you need a lot of money to make a lot of money and you can't just work up to it with a bad economy.
I hope I can speak for all of your viewers when I say we appreciate the dedication you have to your channel,and how we enjoy a few moments of levity during the day to see some packs cracked,a little discussion during,and a overall enjoyable experiance. We appreciate it rudy,keep on keeping on!
STAY THE COURSE
I feel like watching the same video the 5th time . Rudy I considered my financial status , thank you.
16:16 When things stabilize I'm going all in and trading my entire stack of Charmin Ultra Soft into Theros boxes and pre-price hike Patreon slots.

"Brazen Borrower, the only other expensive mythic!"
Embercleave- *doesn't exist*
Nicholas Bower embercleave will be like 8 after the challenge decks
Nope Ikoria is going to get pushed to the end of April or Even May. GW just closed their UK plants and will be pushing everything
Lets get some standard theros boxes going
Gives him ptsd from Lavaclaw
My state just shut everything down today, but I just gotta... STAY THE COURSE!
Last time I was this early the economy was stable

Great speech dude! And very true in these times.
Do you offer Pokemon products to Patreon members?
Thanks for the opening Rudy, first pack Oko was nice
Thanks for the daily vids Rudy, I don't think I could survive isolation without seeing your hairy arms every day!
Thank you for the videos, especially now.
Just stopping by to say - BEST PLAYMAT EVER

Very sweet 2 chalupa gordita box. Congrats to the Patron
I'm night crew at a grocery store, so I'm at work every night from 10pm-6am. Tons of fun...

How does everyone feel about the Ikoria Expansion?
Thanks Rudy...
Hi Rudy, just a quick question : What is your favorite magic set regarding illustrations and visuals ? Which one looks the best for you ?
Thanks in advance !
WOW 12 mythics! and 2 foil mythics what a great box opening!
What's up Rudy hope u and yours r doing well
Am I the only one who is thinking this may be the best draft pack 1 pick 1s? So many bomb rares, uncommons!!!! Rudy
I was given the choice to move to another office and 'telecommute' from there, or be 'furloughed' until the local office opens back up. I be movin'. I also got it in writing as an updated employment contract, in case things happen.
Rudy, what about DCA-ing in traditional IRA accounts? I’ve heard that’ll average out the market swings, plus they’re tax-deductible.
Im sitting on "TBD"(Theros beyond death) box. Crack it or stack it?
I can take it of your hands in case you cant decide. ;)
I just came here to listen to Alpha investments talk about Rudy

Anyone else notice that the prices on tcg for singles are plummeting? I saw a borrower for like $12 yesterday

*prices haven't come down a bit...the stubbornness of dealers and wotc is unbelievable!*
Can someone tell me how patron works? I'd love to support Rudy and get cheap MTG boxes. If I sign up will I be able to only buy some of the new sets or some olds sets as well? (New as in his inventory only ig). Thanks!
Wow that was like microwaving a Chimichanga, and some how getting a taco supreme instead.
Aye that Emry card is hot lava ~ Through the Breach x Emry x Mox Amber w/ a Thassa Oracle win condition : P
oko on the face! , I did this last week mana crypt in the first pack of my mystery box!
Amazing effort Rudy,we love your advice,long live the black hard phyrexian taco🤟
My LGS is closed until further notice. We don't know if they'll reopen
@@iPhone4Gaddict And when they do, they'll sell their inventories and the secondary market tanks hard. But hey, stay the course if you want to get rekt.
Sat at my desk conducting business waiting ALL DAY for this then missed its introduction lol FML
Above all, stay safe people, panic is what makes you dumb.
i feel bad for the people stuck at home without magic cards
"market can go up a thousand points, then other weeks the market tanks 2,3,4 thousand points" Based on that commentary, Rudy is expecting Dow 10,000 makes a return.
I started an ok paying job in december (which luckily makes me work from home) and I decided to slowly start a stock portfolio with 10% of my monthly after tax revenue.
December: up 0,5%
January: up 2,5%
February: DOWN 10%
MARCH: DOWN 25%
Nevertheless, as creepy rudy says, I stay the course
Please fix the auto-focus, going to start having seizures if this keeps up.

@@C0urne I agree w/ you and I should've been more specific ~ I'm thinking of dumping money into the stock market.
at this point, it's an oko per box
Rudy telling me to take care of my family ??
Buying ALL the reserved instead
Its time for eldraine bingo
Upsidedown Rudy clackity bridge
Doubletap oko
35% mythic pull rate out of regular boxes!
rough waters ahead
Nice boxes! Sounds like Ikoria might be delayed. Can't see them releasing in April anymore😬
And THAT'S how you kill it y'all. Great boxes
I live in Ohio and we just went into lockdown. I guess my job is considered essential so I'm at work
I wish small businesses were open so I could spend money there...would love to go buy a nice meal somewhere and tip someone very well to help them through this BS government has created....damn shame.
I feel bad for matt because he had a sick box but because rudy delayed till now they aren’t worth much.
Stay the TACO!! I mean course.
Double tapy-Oko 😂
I like tapioca!
Rudy, I just wanna play Timmy Dragon Highlander with my fellow taco eaters😔
Economical equilibrium is destined to crash, that is just nature, and we are doing this cycle over and over. Solution would be growth, unlimited growth, but first we need to handle human greed.
