Thank you very much , all my questions answered in one video 🙏

[@BunnieBunBun]

People always say, "do your own due diligence, do your research". No one ever talks about what to look for when you're researching. I want to look up the different stocks I'm interested in buying, but what am I looking for when I google the companies? I don't know haha.....past trends? quarterly earnings? what's a good place to look at for starters?

[@AaronBhawan]

💯💯💯

[@roberttaylor3594]

';Dividend guy' has a simple set of metric he looks at. He does individual stocks. 'Sven Carlin' is another good one, in my opinion. and Nathan Winklepleck!

[@Martyr217]

I kinda research, I go on YT for news these days for stocks and ideas and read up on what people say and point out just so I don't jump in looking for quick cash and get burned.

[@Sieteeight]

These are valid questions. I wish they were answered by the host.

[@ThePiggyBankChronicles]

Yahoo Finance is good, TSX website, us KZbinrs, also look into companies you know

[@dans.6056]

Thanks for the video. Can you explain the differences between mutual funds and etfs. Pros and Cons. Is it true mutual fund fees are much lower now than say 10-15 years ago?

[@jonisousa-guthrie3121]

Great video. Pls do a video on market psychology

[@evadeanu1]

The only thing that I never did was automatically invest. The worst thing I did for 20 years was to put our money into the RBC advisor’s hands. But after I joined Investing Academy I learned how to manage my family’s finances and can’t be more grateful for it! Thank you Brandon and Marc for your continuous commitment to educate and encourage everyone to consistently invest. Wishing you merry Christmas and all the very best in 2025.

[@brentzvonarich9577]

Great video. I would like to know the two Etf's your currently invested in? Is it vanguard and something else? Thank you

[@lw1405]

VOO and XEQT- if you went on Blossom you can see that

[@bran1214]

Brilliant! simple and clear

[@MountainFinance]

Congrats on 20 years. Great video ;-)

[@bf9369]

If i wanna buy vfv, do i need to have that in rrsp? Or tfsa?

[@user-vv3zs6en8p]

you can buy it in any registered account (RESP, TFSA, RRSP) or non registered regular trading account.

[@psymooon]

Continue inspiring ✨

[@ZacHartley]

Great Video!!

[@PizzardNation]

Brandon, do you and Marc offer financial planning for retirement?

[@adamcoatta7546]

Good video👌

[@HikingThoughts]

Hey Brandon can you please do a video on your thoughts about alibaba and tencent? I know you use to hold both stocks and I wanted to know your thoughts on selling them for ETFs

[@MrStillmans]

A video on how to be perfectly average at investing. The problem with that is the only way to compete is to grind more work hours to dump more hard-earned cash into your portfolio. Active work is really the exact opposite of passive investing. You may as well be a normie then who uses the boomer-style pension plan at work and grind until you're 65. Instead of investing in thousands of things you have no clue about, just read an investing book, any book, and emulate one of the many, many methods that are known to get you at least a slightly higher return. Whether it's dogs of the dow, the Lowell Miller method, Buffet's advice, simple value investing, or whatever else, you should at least TRY to do better at this.

[@abdeslemmenacere3784]

As a dad , i am really interested to learn about how you started so young ! Did you dad help you ? I’d love for my kids to start learning about this sooner rather than later

[@lw1405]

he has videos with Marc about this on the channel.

[@abdeslemmenacere3784]

Thanks ! Let me search for that !

[@caper087]

Do you day trade when the time is right

[@arielquiabang9257]

Great video bro!new investor here!

[@roberttaylor3594]

I really like ETFs but it's a lot more fun to have a set of individual businesses in my portfolio...I don't mind getting stopped at the train track as much when I know I own the railway company stock directly. I dont get that feeling with an ETF.

[@mali3490]

True that!

[@bradyol1]

Appreciate your videos man!

[@DerektheGuitarist]

thank you Brandon!

[@1200times]

Thank ypu

[@howardbetts9133]

The information that is now available (accurate or not) to everyone, compared to 25 - 30+ years ago, is off the chart. This knowledge allows everyone, especially younger people, to have a better head start. Also, the ability to do all of these money making activities online makes it that much easier. On the other hand, it's much easier to spend money then it was 30+ years ago (online purchases), so maybe it balances itself out. Not sure. In any case, it's nice to have people like yourself doing your best to educate people, so they can make somewhat of an informed decision regarding their finances.

[@lw1405]

Agreed. The amount of disinformation has also grown exponentially. They need to learn the difference between a credible source and someone out to make a buck off very bad advice, on here, TikTok, etc. That comes down to personal accountability.

[@Sk3p_T1kal]

I don't understand why these videos have so many cuts. You cut in "point"? Can't you just do another take and speak the whole sentence again? I guess I don't understand KZbin video editing...🤷

[@tysonmou1]

How do you convince someone of the idea of investing, especially for the average, if they're unwilling to accept the idea of investing, that it's like gambling and you can lose all your money? I like Brandon's content; there's much to learn from him. But Brandon is too handsy, with too much movement. And the micro-cuts in the editing don't help.

[@nbcavaliers]

I agree! I think it's his mannerism. I like listening to him (like a podcast) while I do something like laundry etc. Otherwise, their content is still topnotch 😁

[@Sciaovostro]

I work for Canadian Armed Forces so should I go VDY 80% and ETC 20%

[@ROWANMORRISSEY]

All vdy

[@ThePiggyBankChronicles]

👍👍

[@henjer2150]

Dude you look cold.

[@bailey-k6b]

[@Adrian-cn5rk]

Mark should do the exact same style of video

[@Jamielein]

My #1 tip: avoid fees. Pick ETFs with the lowest fees. These outperform more expensive ETFs in the long run most of the time. Vanguard is good for this. Avoid ETFs that hold other ETFs.. you pay fees on fees. Finally don’t buy US stocks in a Canadian dollar account as you get charged exchange fees with each trade. Use a US dollar account, or look for US stocks that trade in CAD, like Disney, Costco etc. Good luck!

[@Jamielein]

Also never buy penny stocks, and stay far away from the TSXV.

[@MarathonKevin]

​@@Jamieleinit's worth noting that asset allocation ETFs such as XEQT don't "double dip" on fees as you suggest - the MERs of the underlying ETF's are baked into the MER of the parent fund.

[@Jamielein]

@@MarathonKevin i stand corrected
