9 Comments on “How To Capitalize on Coronavirus – Intro Video

  1. Greetings Caleb.

    Appreciate your great content.

    You have an article on starting over from scratch.

    How will you do it differently in case you have to start during epidemic of corona virus.

    Thanks in advance for your response.

  2. This is probably the right pivot.

    It fits your message and your frame better than rehashing the past.

    kinda related but OT: you mentioned at one point that you were going to farm, and you mentioned that if you had employees that wasn’t freedom.

    I have decades of experience in agriculture, and can’t imagine a more location dependent, capital intensive, low margin, employee centric business on the planet.  I’m sure you have something planned, I’d be interested to hear what it was.

  3. Totally awesome strategy!! You can’t do anything about the men (??) who want to wallow in panic and fear like scared girls. Things are going to be progressively quieter and the 9-to-5 where I work. Everybody’s “working from home,” so I can now pick off my actual job duties in about 2 days max and nobody will be the wiser.

    THE REST OF THE TIME IS AVAILABLE TO PLAN/SETUP AN ALPHA 2.0 BUSINESS! I’m ready. Let’s do this. There will never be a better time to finally pull hit the ejection seat out of the grind of expending MY labor to make money for other people.

    I have a fresh notebook and two sharpened Dixon Ticonderoga No. 2 pencils. I’m ready to attend Blackdragon Academy!

  4. Putting aside that most readers here don’t work in the hedge fund field, this fucker has done extremely well.

    I noticed Bill be legit bullish a couple of days ago on CNBC, and wondered what the story was.

    Ackman spent $27m to buy credit default swaps on some mortgage backed  securities he holds to make $2.4 billion dollars.  No shit he’s bullish.  He’s on a free roll.

    Point being, you and I can’t do that because we don’t have millions in our portfolio of proper mortgage backed securities to gamble on risk premiums being stupid tight and blowing out.  People were able to buy naked coverage of securities they didn’t even own coming into 2008 (go watch the Big Short) and you can’t do that anymore because they made a regulatory change.

    Not that you could anyway, we don’t get to play in that sandbox.  All a normal sap like us can do when faced with that decision is sell and hold USD and preserve capital.

    Ackmam was famously and publicity short Herbalife for years. I tend to agree with him that the company is a Ponzi scheme and a fraud, but he publicly demonstrated what a lot of people need to know – just because you are right about the fundamentals doesn’t mean the market sees it that way.

    He lost $100 million + on that deal when that was real money.

  5. That’s the spirit! Thanks in advance for the content.

    I’ve got family/friends who are either in panic or bored mode right now. Posting scaremongering articles on Facebook. Well, expect for my dad who is mainly annoyed he can’t go golfing.

    I myself am in the proces of finding my niche, using the Alpha 2.0 course. Have a vague idea which direction to go, but will spend the weekend and next week doing more research. So much opportunity and spare time now to actually build something worthwhile!

    Beside BD’s blog (and others like it) I was also inspired by a former business partner, whom I spoke to yesterday. One of his businesses is a small company which allows you to send a cute postcard or letter to a random senior citizen to lift his/hers spirits. For a modest fee.

    Business is booming at the moment and he is doubling down on marketing at the moment.

     

    So you can either spend this period whining or watching too much Netflix or playing videogames. Or invest in yourself by building a business, studying and working on your fitness.

    This and some forms of real estate, too (minus the low margin, hopefully). Maybe try to make as much hands off as possible?  I don’t really have any practical experience with this.

    The only example I can think of – Tai Lopez has a farm in VA that he visits every month from LA, but I think he has a main manager for the farm.  But he also presumably has 8 figure net worth …

    Those plans have been changed. Read this. And farms can indeed be location independent.
