Buy more dogfood.
Fixed income until the next crash/recession, due 2021 or so. Then buy very low. The markets always go back up. Anyone that did this at the end of 2007 and bought back in, in 2009, would have quadrupled their money, on average, without even being aggressive about investing.
Did I ever tell you of the worst years of my life?
Old Theo inherited a little bit of money during the great recession. Not a lot, just 15,000$, or so.
Old Theo can't care about money.
Money is just a game. But Old Theo likes playing games.
So Old Theo plowed that money into the stock market. It can't go any lower, he said to himself.
Old Theo bought CVGI at 93 cents a share. Old Theo sold CVGI at 18.00 and change.
Old Theo didn't need to work. Old Theo didn't need to do anything. Old Theo holed up in his apartment and never came out.
He drank and cooked steak and wouldn't talk to any of his friends. He often considered jumping. Old Theo wished he was dead.
Because he didn't want for anything. He didn't need a job. But not having a job, is like not having a purpose.
And how could anyone ever want to exist, without a purpose?
So, Theo knows now. Theo knows that money ain't the point. Theo knows that purpose is the point. Purpose could only ever be the only point.
So Theo is a day older, and many dollars shorter. Because Theo wouldn't have it, any other way.
Because Theo kinda gets it now.
Take out the biggest loan you can with no interest repayments for as long as you can... in South African Rand. Spend all the money on gold, and wait. If Rhodesia is any indicator, by the time you have to pay it back, it'll be worth a small fraction of the gold you bought.
I've gone down this road before. Blindly trading options in the pursuit of money.
I'm not very smart, but do a lot of cocaine, which makes me great at playing the Wall Street games.
But what is money made that isn't earned? A worthless frivolity, glamour and cash and appearance that you don't have to work for.
No, the only purpose I could ever see for myself is trying to build something. And I'm not good at building things. So I need to identify the right people, the people who can build, and I need to bring them together and help them build something.
Or I would be lost.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. But I really want to get into trading stocks, commodities, and other derivatives. I've been doing my own research, and studying in (free) places such as Khan academy, also Martin Shkreli has a youtube channel where he teaches finance, goes into yearly reports (k/q10?), and writing very basic models to predict stock price.
How do you "play the wallstreet games"?
I have a degree in Aerospace... but so does half of India, and I'm making less money per hour as an engineer than I was in uni as a private tutor.
That aside, if I did have enough money to not have to worry, I'd go into politics, and "build" an open free trade zone/town hoping to become the next 80's/90's Hong Kong. If that's too grandiose, I'd settle for a small "Austrian" private school. What would you want to build?
Ok. I'm going to give you the best investing advice you will ever receive.
Listen to everything everyone tells you to do. Then, don't do that.
They're fucking losers who surround themselves by assholes who engage in groupthink.
You aren't part of a group. You don't need to think like they do. You need to think like Theo. And Theo don't do no thinking at all.
>I'm not very smart, but do a lot of cocaine
Start dealing cocaine?
