If the S&P goes to zero I’m sure we all would have slightly bigger problems on our hands.

Great video.

[slavekp]

This might be my favourite video of all time from you, Adriano. What a fantastic breakdown of your mentality, knowledge, portfolio and the markets. I really appreciate it!

[davidmma-pd]

Every time I tried manifesting money, it felt like I was faking it. Nothing changed. Then I read The Hidden Codex of the Financial Alchemists and it finally made sense—it’s not about forcing, it’s about aligning. I made a few subtle shifts, stayed consistent, and suddenly my side hustle took off like never before. This book is legit coded in gold.

[catherinedesilets]

Great explanation Adriano! Love the idea of the capital staying constant or not dropping much while receiving the cashflows yearly

[randalxu]

Thanks for sharing the video Adrian! I would say that your portfolio is basically the market, so it cannot be more risky than the market. Certainly not going Buy High, Sell Low. That's not the PII way. Will continue to buy using my dividends, and the sky is not falling and things will return to normal eventually.

[rossmacdonald]

That was quite the overview Adrian, thank-you. Wishing you and Erica continued good health and success.

[BrokeDad_Rich]

I love all your videos; but IMO this one ranks amongst one of your best ever. Thanks again for posting

[TJSjervs]

Great video Adriano. Extremly clear and concise. Helped me a lot. Cheers.

[DavidDimitrijevic-rm]

I swear, every money mindset book said “wealth is on its way” but my bank account looked like a desert lol. Then I read The Hidden Codex of the Financial Alchemists and realized I was stuck in hustle mode instead of aligning with actual abundance. The book decodes everything in a way that just clicks. I shifted my energy, stopped chasing, and boom—new income streams started popping up out of nowhere. Wild. Anyone else experience that?

[crazywaffleking]

I love the simple portfolio, anyone saying it risky doesn't understand these are mostly index funds.

[Igetwhatiwantalways]

Thank you so much for clearing this up. 👍🏽

[gregshone]

We've been here before. I just see everything on sale. Buy low let the dividends grow.

[Suzy-LSI]

Thanks for this video Adrian - super helpful as always

[rickmorrissette]

Excellent video, you explained it really well! Keep up the great work!

[ammon]

thanks for this video, HHIS and QQCL are my favorites

[Zncor]

I love your portfolio. I’m going to build the exact same one in my RRSPs as soon as they transfer over to iTrade.

[MichelNovaGSD]

It’s not that the top 10 or even the top 50 are bad companies. It’s just that they have been (still are) overvalued. For example, to have Costco with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of over 60 (now down to 53.50) is insane. I don’t know when, but COST will eventually trade at fair market value (after going way below fair market value) and that will be with a P/E of well below 15.

[kanek]

Great video. Any concerns on NAV erosion to continue keeping up the yield?

[realbeetlejuice]

great idea for a video and great video.

[valveman]

I agree that maintaining index stocks is a prudent decision, particularly in light of the ongoing tariff wars. I hope this tariff nonsense resolves soon, not only for market recovery but also for those who have lost their jobs due to these tariffs and the higher prices on goods they cause. Don't sell, buy the dip.
