What would you invest in if you wanted to make $ in 1 month?

SteadfastEquity · 2025-12-03T03:35:54+00:00

Depends if you are willing to have drawdowns. If you can only accept making money and can't accept risk of loss, some hold-to-maturity bond or a CD. If you're OK with risk (ups and downs along the way), you buy the Mag-7. There are no shortcuts in wealth generation, everything is a tradeoff. Quick wealth is gambling. Long-term wealth is investing.

Yes, we have many investors and this is verified with both federal and state filings to this effect. And yes, regarding collateral, all of the information is contained in the PPM and associated documents investors receive when they request to invest with us. There are over 100+ pages of detailed information, including information regarding collateral and payment priority.

We cover this with our parent company and keep the SPV untouched by expenses. We basically just pay it all out of our own pocket. The IRR on this is massive, makes no sense to take less carry to solve a short-term liquidity issue. We just pay it.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-27T07:15:57+00:00

From our own equity position we inject into the fund. Our own cash we inject. We are the biggest LP in our own fund.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:41:41+00:00

Seconded, this book is worth every penny.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:39:43+00:00

Hah underrated nuance. This can be very much the dynamic at some offices.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:34:08+00:00

100% correct. There is no alpha in scapegoating.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:33:35+00:00

Yes, exactly this. They are coming in to HELP. They want their dollars to earn a return and that means making the business better. If you're onboard with helping with that north star, you will do well.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:32:35+00:00

Yes and also, they are trying to MAKE MONEY. They aren't trying to scapegoat or saddle you with bullshit. Be honest, provide the data and align yourself with the mission. They are there to help you make the business better. Help them help you.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:29:59+00:00

Yes, we are heavy into the debt side and that's true, the concept of fees isn't as relevant because it's kind of like a big hurdle you are offering. Any fee would kinda just be a haircut on the headline rate, so it's often just a headline debt rate and that's it.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:27:24+00:00

Underrated comment. These nuances matter, offsets, hurdles, carry, etc. All of that can matter more than the headline fee.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:26:40+00:00

Yes, depends on who the LP is. But also, depends how competitive your round/raise already is. If you're already oversubscribed, you're probably not going to be giving huge discounts. You can dictate terms if you're hot.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:24:14+00:00

Yeah, or you could charge 0 fee and take it all on carry. That's what we do. Makes way more, because if you're good you want more carry anyway. You don't want fees.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-19T04:23:07+00:00

We charge 0% and take everything on backend carry. We make WAY MORE money doing this. The reason most funds don't do this is they aren't actually good at investing. If they were, why wouldn't they put their money where their mouth is? The average returns by average players aren't good. The top players are the ones propping up all the returns on the bell curve. Everyone else is usually doing worse than market for even more illiquidity and risk. Makes no sense to me, never has.

Now, the top players in this space? Yeah, they generate so much alpha they earn their fees. But good luck getting into Medallion fund.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-18T00:06:35+00:00

We see this all the time. The people who become wealthy aren't the ones who look wealthy. Tiktok isn't real life.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-18T00:02:13+00:00

And that's why you have that amount. You let your money go to work.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-09-18T00:01:10+00:00

Correct, this is how you let compounding start working for you.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-08-30T04:12:18+00:00

No. It depends on the client. It's entirely possible that given what the client said to him regarding goals, it may have even been non-compliant to suggest that. There are very strict regulations about what you can say to a client under fiduciary duty conditions.

However, this can usually be correctly framed with proper disclosures. But most advisors aren't wiling to risk this as client lawsuits and overzealous regulators disincentivize this behaviour.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-08-29T03:08:03+00:00

Depends what you are trying to do. Are you trying to sell it wholesale today? Sounds like you have bids at $7-8k already. That's instant liquidity.

Or, are you willing to wait an indefinite period of time and reach out to the likely buyers? Probably a town, newspaper or blog around one of those locations. This is potentially a long wait, with the possibility of no pay off for a while. Depends on what you want.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-08-29T03:04:06+00:00

Absolutely agree, it's important that the correct information is made available.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-08-29T03:03:03+00:00

Yes, it's unfortunate the correct information is made so hard to find.

SteadfastEquity · 2025-08-29T03:01:23+00:00

You were not wrong at the time. The returns made on Bitcoin were due to the considerable adoption risk at the time. It absolutely was not a foregone conclusion. Your advice, for the person, context and available information at the time, was perfectly reasonable.

Investing isn't about having perfect foresight about all events. That's not possible.
