@Don ; They are too general, I gave praise to these three channels because they talk about personal finance, not economics, and if in America 40% of it’s citizens can’t cover a sudden 400$ expense debt free, I think personal finances are more important than economics at the moment for the public.

Thanks for all the vids man, keep it up. Wish you can do a market cap video please? Like If the price of the shares trading in public grows, the money doesn’t goes into the company, then why their market cap grows? Is it accurate to value a company just by that?

[@ThePlainBagel]

Market cap is strictly a valuation measurement, it doesn't measure the money that's gone to the company bust rather what investors are willing to trade for its shares. Even though the money isn't going to the company, because investors are buying and selling at a higher price it demonstrates that they are willing to pay more for a share of the company. Hope that clears things up!

I watch a lot of Dave Ramsey and Chris Hogan on KZbin and they both have the "Baby Steps" of getting out of debt as well as some guidelines for investing. However, because they're American they talk about a number of investment options available on there and not here in Canada. I was wondering if you could maybe discuss what you think a healthy Canadian portfolio should look like and some everyday investing tips and tools available to Canadians. Thanks, Richard.

[@tomlxyz]

I kinda feel like at least in the shorter term now his strategy doesn't work out with the current loose monetary policies giving a lot of securities artificially high value. Also a lot of tech companies are making big money now but wouldn't have been on his radar by following his strategy of basically already requiring being profitable. What I mean is underlined by what people have surpassed him in his wealth

[@NOName-nn3jv]

He is a legend

[@flintpatterson3876]

"Advocates for billionaires to pay higher taxes"... pays just over 1% per year in taxes on his own income...

[@samsonsoturian6013]

Not really. He takes most of his pay in shares, and you only pay taxes on those when you sell. Combine that with years of share buybacks and he racks up an impressive fortune on paper. The only reason he isn't the richest man in the world is because he donates much of his fortune to charity.

While I appreciate this channel, I'm not a big fan of this billionaire myth making. As a rebuttal, check out Adam Conover's KZbin clip "Why there's no such thing as a good billionaire". Not, no such thing as someone good who makes lots of money, but why specifically billionaires, even when they make pledges like the giving pledge, actually cost our society more than what they donate. And he does a great job of breaking down the "relatable" things that they purport to do, to build this myth of a "relatable billionaire". Eating McDonald's every day and drinking coca cola? That's baaaaad advice man, it's either not true or he's got lucky genes because most people would croak. I would also check out The Financial Diet for more videos breaking down this type of myth making.
