Rudy, you are more than a collectible channel, you are an amazing source of information for all us taco starved carrots. I will never forget your corporate bond videos back in the day. PLEASE keep making videos like this, many people will learn from your mistakes and successes. The truth is the truth, if it hurts some people it's because they need to know it more than anyone else. Keep it up you crazy cardboard crusader.

Wow. Thanks for the depressing video reminding me that I'm a 42 year old poor person that will almost certainly remain a poor person for the rest of my life. I will admit you were 100% correct when you said we never can run fast enough to catch up. I bought a small house years and years ago after getting married, saved for decades, paid down debt so all that was left was my house, climbed a career ladder so at this point in my life I could buy our dream house and raise my family in it. Right as we started to look for a house and cash in on all this work, and all this sacrificial discipline, the COVID crap hit and houses in my area are 30-40% higher than they were just a few years ago and I can't afford anything better than what I'm already in now. Combine that with inflation and my entire life's work has been demolished by powers outside of my control. I did everything right by what I was told growing up and still got hosed in the end. I can't hardly stand to think about it, and frankly when I do I just despair and try to figure out what the point of even bothering to try anymore is. I get up early every morning to do the same job and routine I've done for years, and know in my heart I'm doing it for nothing. I guess for survival, but no dreams, no hope, nothing beyond the next meal to justify it. I hate it.

Sure, you can learn some stuff and grind your way to wealth but the cards are stacked against you and the probabilities of fu up increase exponentially.

Really love these videos Rudy. Dislikes were removed so companies wouldn't get upset that their ads were being shown on a very disliked video. People use dislikes to figure out whether or not to watch a video and advertisers don't want to be on the hook for paying for an ad spot on a disliked video. No dislikes = more ads they can place without angering the advertisers.

Can you further explain the "wash sale" story? My understanding of wash sales is they only count if the shares are sold for a loss and bought back in within 30 days but the the trade in that story wouldnt be considered a loss because the shares would be exercised for a profit, thus causing a taxable event and not eligible to be considered a wash sale. The story has been bothering me since watching the video yesterday so i thought i would just ask for further explanation in case im just stupid and missing something. Thanks for the awesome video, one of my favorites.

I understand that it's a possibility. I understand it can and does happen. I understand the roof is WITHOUT limit nearly, especially for those with already seemingly infinite capital. I even heard you mention the "leveraging against their lifestyle." But what I can never, ever help but stop wondering is "Why?" To what end is all of this for? What's the motivation? Simply growing wealth because someone can? I don't understand how/why it seems to never feel like enough no matter how wealthy a person is. That's the fundamental misunderstanding I have with capitalism, once it stops being about survival, I cannot understand the purpose. What's the point of growing wealth forever? Is it archaic from survival days? I don't think so, because there are so many generationally wealthy people that have no wealth-growing survival necessity instinct... Is it for.. Simply the sake of doing it? It seems so incredibly purpose-less... I just don't understand that piece.

Listening to Rudy talk about basic level stock information is the most entertaining thing I've heard all year, mostly because I know half the people watching are actually learning something new.

Would love to see more vids like this Rudy. The past year I've been digging deep into the financial crimes that happen in this country every day and yet nobody goes to jail. It's become extremely depressing for me. Almost seems like the only way to get up that metaphorical slope you speak of is to lie, cheat, steal, or get very lucky. But I was raised better.

Complicated question but all people really need to know is that when companies pay dividends, it has to come from somewhere. Their profits. So companies that don’t pay dividends get to use ALL their profits to growing their company rather than paying shareholders dividends

Question for Rudy or the timmies playing in this ballpark: How much of a heavy hitter/how big does your bankroll need to be with a brokerage firm in order to borrow 20-30% against it?

Rudy, Mr. Taco God with the hair in the basement, thank you for discussing the contents of this video. I love your channel because you aren’t afraid to talk about the reality of collectibles, investing, and now, the realities of capitalism. It takes big nuts and a party pack with half the step-sisters in the county to do that. So thank you sir. Keep it real!

Love these videos. Granted the rich people do pay the taxes as soon as the gains are realized. And if they leave them unrealized until the day they die, they never truly had the money. So it works out in the end.

I got hungry yesterday and had no food to eat, so I ate my mother's last two candy bars. I knew in two days I would get SNAP benefits and I would be able to replace them without her knowing. Unfortunately she found out. Now, 5 hours from now when my SNAP benefits go through I will buy those two candy bars and replace them. In a hungry man's mind, no harm occurred. In reality, I showed my weakness to my mother and the next time I get hungry and have no food to eat I will steal from someone who has more than just two candy bars. I have a job, I work 60 hours a week. And I can't afford a candy bar. Someone who chastises me for not "investing" my extra income makes me wonder... What the fuck is extra income?

No Pink Visor or White Board, but a great video nonetheless. Thank you for sharing this info with the masses. I first learned about leverage against investments a couple of years ago and it blew my mind. I always thought the rich just had the advantage of long term cap gains vs income tax but had no idea they weren’t even selling the stock at all! 🤯
