Happy to hear that!😄 I tried to condense the basics as much as I can to overcome the hurdle to starting. Thank you!

Do you have a video where you talk about which specific etfs you invest in?

[@aselvais]

I've lost money on my stocks when the market went down after the pandemic... but I considered this as a "tuition fee"; I mean, I learned a lot! ... but then over the past year I made everything back and more ;) ... So, just for people who lose some $ on the market; just consider what you have learned; ... it is not a total loss ;)

[@LivinginCanada]

That's a good way to look at it. It's much easier to remember things when you went through it yourself! There are still plenty of opportunities ahead :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful video about ETFs! I firmly believe in monthly investing in index funds for long-term growth. Currently, I have half of my investments in VFV (which tracks the S&P 500 index) and the other half in QQC (which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index). There's been a lot of debate about investing in the Nasdaq 100, with some saying it's not diversified and too risky. However, as a young investor with a time horizon of over 20-50 years, I believe I can handle the volatility and see the potential in growth-oriented stocks. Having both VFV and QQC gives me a balance between diversification and growth, and I plan to gradually reduce the proportion of QQC in my portfolio over time for more stability. I'd appreciate your feedback on this!

As long as you have a sin number you can use all of them but you can’t have an rrsp or tfsa account until you have filed tax for at least a year.

I find it quite risky. I invested in USD recently. I bought them at face value. It generated like 36% return till now.

[@LivinginCanada]

What time horizon are you looking at? 36% sounds good, but of course it depends on the time frame.

[@Andy-9904]

@@LivinginCanada There are videos I seen about collecting coins. I have been collecting American coins due to the strong currency.

[@SuperEhima]

what do you mean by USD, is that a ticker of a company?

[@Andy-9904]

WWhy am i still scared of HEAVY investments in, Crypto???😂

[@LivinginCanada]

I know, as much as I think I'm starting to understand Bitcoin better, there is sometimes this thought in the back of my mind preventing me to from going too heavy: What about a black swan event? But then again, what is the alternative? :)
