Hey, /biz/, what do you guys think of Alpha Investments?

He seems like a pretty nice guy but that is besides the point. He invests in Magic: The Gathering booster boxes and also owns a store as well where I assume he sells singles, and locally as well. People who comment have been saying that his videos are affecting the market. He has only been around ONE MONTH on YouTube and already has 14k subs and 700,000 video views on his channel.
Thoughts? Opinions? I think he's a bit more nefarious than he lets on. There is definitely something in it for him to be making all these videos (besides the pennies YouTube throws at content creators). I think he makes them, as previously stated, to move the market in a direction he finds favorable. Is investing this heavily into one franchise even a good idea? He says the total worth of his collection is worth seven figures in one of his Q&A videos. He also has a pretty negative view on stocks and bonds from what I gather because he used to work for brokerage and investment firms (he constantly wears Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch t-shirts).
Also, Rudy, it wouldn't surprise me if you browsed /biz/ because you seem like the type of autistic neckbeard who would browse here.
Guy has some good advice if you're willing to go deep as fuck for long periods. Making money as a MTG store has got to be one of the easiest things I've ever seen if you've got deep pockets.
Bamp.
Rudy is absolutely based, but he's really advocating for people to buy in and hold for 10+ years. Not really the kind of stuff that most of /biz/ likes

Seems like a big time investment but if you buy a set for $100 and then it values up to $500 eventually kind of like Urza's Legacy did, then I think it might just be worth it. Maybe I'll start buying three booster boxes a set and seeing where it goes. I just watched some autismo fag on YouTube open a whole booster box of Pokemon TCG base set which he said he paid $600 for. I guess the market is always out there.
