This channel deserves to be so much bigger than it is. Saw this on my subscription feed and immediately clicked.

This is my top 5 favourite channels on YouTube.
Please, don't stop making financial documentaries.

Staying private seems like a better option than public companies for the employees because it allows them to provide better benefits versus worrying about the bottom line and what the shareholders think. This is why they were voted top 100 company to work for.

One of the best made documentaries on YouTube. Keep up the great work.

For those of us that still need our Succession fix. Real talk, these mini docs are excellent. I really look forward to watching all of them.

Nice move .... moving from people to companies. This will expand the range of topics on channels, and help with the overall broader perspective on economies.

One takeaway here is how someone can hang on to power/monopoly of an empire. The Johnsons did a great job in this aspect.

Dude this is sick I love like corporate American history and I haven't found any other channels that talk about small events in broader corporate history cus these affect only such small things they're always relegated to the small footnotes. So thank you for bringing it out and for bringing it to life in such a captivating way. I can't wait wait even if the next video is like a year out it's well worth the wait.

Some real succession drama by the Johnson family that owns Fidelity. The daughter even tried to overthrow her father from the CEO position. Watch till the end to see if she was successful.

In the context of Kaiser Steel in the 1980s, I don't think it was competition from China that was the issue - it was Japan. China did not come onto the steel export scene significantly until the 2000s, even having a trade DEFICIT with the United States in steel until the mid to late 2000s.

You're producing really high quality, informative and entertaining content right across your channel! Awesome work!

I really enjoyed this presentation on the background and history of Fidelity's roots. I've invested through Fidelity since the early 1990's...I remember Peter Lynch being their spokesperson on all marketing materials. I have found them to treat the "little guy" well over the years, allowing them to become one of the "big guys". They promoted investing in a true and steady fashion...focusing on the long term, rather than jumping on the latest temporary trend or newest financial gimmick.

[RenegadeRanga]

Peter Lynch's performance will go down as the greatest investing streak of all time. The dude is a legend.

[theinvestmentcase]

Hands down, the highest quality finance channel on YouTube!

Dad really tested his daughter's fidelity... Another great one :).

I worked at Fidelity for over 15 years and actually met Abby twice. She seems like the nicest person on the surface, but you can just tell she's got that killer instinct when it comes to business.
