Investments

Just curious as to Why?


The other one that came up in discussion here today was a pawnshop & firearms shop(s).

Assuming FFL paperwork is done prior to $5m being released for funding, they do a pretty good job.

 

Venture Capital or Angel investor.

I have a couple of good tech opportunities for ya.

I just cannot believe this exit. Keep in mind this is a 3 year old company,

Been down that road. I have family that only invests in tech as their source of income. I have bailed a few out, while others are doing great.
It is very dependent on variables unlike some of the things mentioned here.

I wasnt looking to invest. I got my hands full. I just wanted to hear of some cool ideas that are out of the box.

 

If I had $5 Million to invest I'd invest in a beach house for myself, an A8 and IWC Big Pilot.

 

This isn't as easy as people think. Trust me when I tell you that there are a lot of losers in the tech world for every winner you see on inc or tech crunch.

It's literally a crap shoot most days.

 

what about the patek?

 

I need to keep myself liquid.

 

Plus a brazillion.

Again, David Tepper would be my bet. Not sure if 5M would open the door though.

 

remember, no hedge funds...way too easy of an answer....I got that covered.

 

Probably not.

Tech is a gold rush for sure... it's feast or famine.

 

Oh, trust me......I know. I'm still recovering from one.

 

With a one year time horizon and only 5m then it's speculative at best.

Hell go to Vegas and put it all on black baby!

Fixed that...

 

No. This is a fuel for internal combustion engines. 99% less harmful emissions! no alcohol! no benzine or toluene! and can sit in a fuel tank for 5 years and not go bad. I have been selling it to small engine shops and motorcycle shops up here for a year now. I also run it in my mini. Awesome stuff, but it is expensive.

 

you can 1/5 profit within a year if you know what you are doing.

 

I looked into this at one point. Margins on new guns are pretty slim, and the internet absolutely kills you. The money would be in the used ones. It's actually cheaper for me to buy a gun at Keith's or off gunbroker than it is for me to order in small volumes as an FFL.

Ended up just getting my C&R FFL for discounts on reloading supplies. That was definitely worth the 30 bucks and a couple of forms.

 

Don't think that fits in the rules. Doesn't Appaloosa require a 3 year commitment of funds? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

 

10 chicks at the same time

 

I'm out of the loop, as I had not heard of David Tepper untill this thread. Interesting timing, as Tyler called me yesterday, while I was at work, with a hot stock tip. He wanted to invest $3,000 he has saved up from his job. The stock was at $16 when he first mentioned it to my wife a week ago, and it was at $60 yesterday. However, the bid was 50 and the ask was 70 and it was very thinly traded. I told him I though it was way too risky, but if he was willing to loose all that money, he could setup an Etrade account and go for it. As of last night he decided not to and will still follow it. In High School math last year they got to make fake portfolios. He selected Tesla and Chipotle and they both took off, and another one was bad, but he made a bunch of fake money.

Obviously Tepper requires larger investments, but it will be something interesting for us to talk about.

Regarding a towing service. A former mechanic used to be a tow truck driver. He told me many of the drivers are meth heads, as they have to work all kinds of weird hours and long shifts?
