<prompt> Human: I recently started to invest in tech stocks and have been doing very well; I am in software development and I am very up to date on new tech.I recently had started a job I required a car for, I was in rush to buy a car, so I bought a used car with cash for 19,995 600 for a remote car start to be installed, no monthly payments or anything. I have started to invest in marijuana companies launching in Canada, due to marijuana becoming legal hopefully mid 2018. I am already up 35 this year on my current marijuana investments.I wanted to know if it made sense in the long run to sell my car for 16,000 offer from dealership where I bought my car, to buy it back from me and take those funds to invest in more stocks. Then do a lease takeover on a newer version of my car for 500month for 3 year 8 months, with the buyout being 15250 at the end. Am I missing something that would make this a stupid idea, other than the normal, stocks could go down.I 100 understand a investment is a risk. My main question is, should I take the cash out of the car that will depreciate, and invest.  <response>: Seems wasteful. If you own your current car outright, you can probably just invest the money that you would have been blowing on lease payments. The investment part of your plan seems great, its just the car part that seems like a bunch of pointless money shuffling that will cost you way more cash than youre getting. Since youre already doing pretty well income wise and investing well, I would stick with what works and continue building your portfolio without saddling yourself with an unnecessary lease on a car.
