    Nived – Hello friend, quick pants update…shouldn’t leave my desk. Your entries continue to arouse me intellectually which has a strange connection to my dangle. Investing vertically (commodity) is an underrated concept in the markets. What do you think about the thought that for a lot of your scenarios to occur, there would be a fundamental shift in how the markets operate, how products are bought and to be honest a net-net effect within industries. Yes more people are going urban, but will the shift from building homes to building apartments really cause a noticeable increase in the underlying commodities? Could be a net-net zero sum kind of adventure if you get too far vertical in your commodities. For defense spending, when crap hits the fan and the value of those companies would skyrocket, the largest customer would be Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam either would control the prices (bad for the company’s value) or pay the market price (Good for Uncle Sam, bad for taxpayer). For the company to have benefit, Uncle Sam would have to pay high market rates, thus raising your taxes (assuming you’re still on the grid then) mitigating your gains. I want to watch the world burn with vertical investments too though. We need to find sectors/commodities that are under-utilized in overseas economic markets, like investing in conflict diamonds. Invest where the USA isn’t going to be so you can fully reap the rewards of the world burning, or in under-utilized efficient industries that have replacement level value on a grandiose “fat cat” inefficient industry. <— MoneyBall for nihilistic investing

    I got you fam, we’re all out here trying to hustle.

    Everyday I consider cutting off my SL payments but at the end of the day, I would need my credit score (797 sup ladies) before I would be able to get out from under the devastation of f*cking over the govt would bring. Also… $250/mo isn’t terrible.

    Also, are you sure you’re not Ron Paul? Sounds like you wouldn’t mind if we “End the Fed”

    Nived –

    Backstory: Corporate finance monkey, masters in finance
    Current state: Highly erect at my desk, its not the pleats I have a legit rager after reading this

    Thoughts: LOVE IT. Student loans are a racket, still in today’s market I can pull out equity in my home at 4.5% (ish) and pay off my 6.5% loans and save 2% over the payoff period of my Student Loans. Why don’t I do it? Because that would raise my house payment and should the unforeseen hard times happen, I’d love to have a lower house payment since “they” can take my house away but not my education.

    Further thoughts: Rolling SL monies into the vicious system of capitalism makes sense on a nihilistic front but day-to-day wouldn’t it have the adverse effect of ruining your credit score (another racket I worked in, don’t get me started) thus cutting into (or cutting out) your ROI because your cost of funds elsewhere in life have increased?

    Further further state: I need a change of pants now.

  • MayDay35 6 years ago on My Side Hustle Might Be Killing Me

    I tend to stay away from those leagues, stick to HS and AAA. Also, will just tell guys it’s in their best interest to leave…then there’s no report because the idiot left on his own

  • MayDay35 6 years ago on My Side Hustle Might Be Killing Me

    I feel you girl. I have a side hustle beyond the 50 hours M-F my “Senior Analyst” title demands. I referee ice hockey. Love the game love the exercise but there will be days I put 10 in the office, then referee from 7p-11p for a few days on end. Even better when there is a big tournament in town, I will 24-30 hours on the ice from Friday at 5pm until Sunday eve.
