I am currently working at a dead-end job and I'm actively applying and researching for better ones.

Any recommendation for a side hustle or investments that may earn me some cash?

Investment noob here, background is in astrophysics and software dev, and I've been thinking about the best way to aquire company(ies) with minimal equity upfront- LBO style. Suppose I owned a portfolio of credit card debt that I bought from a bank- or a trusted debt seller. The debt , for example, has a face value of $5000000, and it cost 0.075 on the dollar to purchase. This portfolio has some stable cash flows generated from collecting on the underlying debt- say 7 to 10% of the face value p/m.
1) Could one borrow against this portfolio of debt? if so what would you guess as percentage of the face value of the asset.
2) Could one use a special purpose entity, to issue a CDO or CFO rather, to shareholders of the target company? - the CDO would obviosuly be based on the cash flow the portfolio of debt.
Tangentially related to this, I'm quite intersted in securitisation. What might the cost of securitisation of a portfoilo as described above be? It seems the whores at the ratings agency are quite private about costs.
Corruption aside, how might the credit rating agencies assign a rating to a CDO of this kind or in general? - preferably in mathematical language. I imagine that the rating agencies, like banks,

here's the deal. I'm putting 100% of my Trumpbux in the market.

Who do you think will be the massive winners and losers when the US announces it will subsidize companies to LEAVE China like Japan is doing.

Is there any poo-in-loo company that stands to benefit? US warehouse REITs?

Who is fucked and who is gonna moon?
