My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process – upgrading your money-making toolbox.

It's impossible for someone to become wealthy suddenly. A valuable lesson I've picked up from billionaires is to always invest in a diverse range of securities and to put in background effort, even if we usually just see the final product. I intend to profit from the approximately $200k that I want to put in stocks this year.

A fan here since the pandemic lockdown.. while mst people then were doing movie marathons and video game marathons, I kept watching investing videos, mostly your videos!

I hope you upload new videos as frequently as you did in the previous years.

I am so excited to watch this new one!

One book recommendation for u:Zero to One by Peter Thiel

While I otherwise agree with the ideas, another reason Buffett has also since cited at one of the recent annual meetings for not owning Microsoft (essentially no matter the price, despite the company having obvious moats) is because he is both friends with Gates and the latter is or was on Berkshire's board. So if Berkshire had bought some, everybody would wonder if he'd been tipped. Which he finds too much of a distraction. Similar to their situation with Activision (which they began closing the position before the deal closed).
