Invested cash into Jumping Stilts
« on: May 13, 2014, 01:42:49 AM »
I've bought a bulk inventory of jumping stilts and if I can keep my expenses down and sell most of them, I'll make a good return.  In other words, I've invested cash into my business.  Do you think jumping stilts futures are trending or foolish?

This isnt even that funny of a joke to be honest.

No kidding. Haven't you seen the latest polls on blogger sentiment towards jumping stilts? They are trending very bearish.

Disclosure: Short jumping stilts

I'd obviously be more worried about the liability involved in selling such items.

Who yelled at you, and what did they say?  I remember some questioning the validity of that measurement, which is what made wtjb's post funny.  :D

Back on topic, it's an interesting question.

I'm personally big into real estate as a path for FIRE, so unless you can somehow convert them from jumping stilts to house stilts, I'd vote no.



Disclosure: long houses, but not stilt houses, or longhouses, for that matter.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Thanks for at least considering the question :)
