War Dogs - great movie for investors

[Marcus Auerbach]

So this is not about how to fix a drain tile or improve cash flow, I wanted to share something about a movie I just saw: War Dogs with Jonah Hill and Miles Teller. It's the story of a young guy who tries to make a living as a massage therapist to feed his family and his bold high school buddy who shows back up in his life and just got started as an arm's dealer serving the US military.

So the two friends emark on that journey and they do what excited real estate investors would do - they hussle, work like dogs, read and study all night and have a do-whatever-it-takes attitude. If a deal is looking to fall apart, they hussle some more and somehow manage to keep it together. I have never tried to be an arms dealer, but I definitley know that feeling! I have not been a fan of Jonah Hills so far, but this role is just perfect for him and we had a blast watching it. The movie takes an unexpected turn (and I don't want to spoil it) - there are some interesting lessons about integrity, moral, greed and honesty. And about business partners. To me one of the best movies for investors since The Big Short and The Wolf of WallStreet. If you have not seen it I hope you have as much fun as we did. Let me know what you think!
