Hey guys, welcome to the channel I'm a full time Chartered Accountant as well as a part time Real Estate agent with a background in finance, investing, budgeting and of course, real estate.

I've been on a personal mission for the last 10 years to build multiple streams of income, including both passive and active income. On this journey, I've gained a ton of domain knowledge about personal finance and investments that I would love to share.

My goal for this channel is to help you understand basic taxes, personal finance, investing, budgeting and expense management.

I live off dividends on ETFs, for sure it can improve your wealth if you reinvest them to buy more, creating a snowball effect that allows you compound over time.

Considering the current market uncertainty, it seems prudent to invest in gold or a gold ETF. I'm thinking of allocating over $300k for retirement purposes. While the potential for short-term gains in a bullish market is appealing, I recognize the importance of maintaining a long-term investment strategy.

The new US president effect has got a couple of stocks and assets doing quite well. I’m looking at ETFs like VDY, XLK and SCHD to get alongside. Still contemplating though.

AI stocks are poised to dominate in 2025. I prefer NVIDIA because they are well-positioned to sustain long-term growth and serve as a foundational platform for other AI companies. I know an investor who has achieved over 200% returns with NVIDIA. I'm also open to any additional recommendations you may have.

Investing in AGNC initially seemed like a solid choice, particularly for the dividends. However, experiencing a significant -40% loss over the past five years, which equates to around $80, 000, has left me questioning whether to sell or continue holding.

🎉 this is my portfolio! For thee past few years. Thanks to you! Planning to stick to this for 20 years

[johnCoy-uw]

I am impressed with your update on these stocks, now my question is which is best to buy at this time. I have some liquid assets to diversify.

[TheMineA]

Perfect timing I was just about to rebalance my portfolio. Had the first 2 in my list, didn't consider the last 2

Really found your recommendations insightful. Thank you, Bassem!

As someone who is in his 30s and way behind on investments - I loved this video. I am trying to learn all that I can before I dive into the market in 2025. I am looking to invest on a weekly schedule, and hold the ETFs in my TFSA for 10-30 years. I am curious why VEQT over XEQT?

[RenatoMelo-wm]

Thank you for this excellent video. Do you use any website to manage or app? I need some control over my rooms, TFSA, RRSP, etc.

[sr_ramjet]

Thanks for the video. Just subscribed, what are your thoughts on holding some gold stock or ETF backed by real gold as the 5th recommendation ?

[Rogerederer-br]

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Old school retro we love…unlike the Paul/Tyson pillow fight

[northstarie]

Love your video, excellent. Appreciated it.

[carinas_introverted_plans]

thank you so much, informative and to the point!

[wofapapaye-gued]

The best video so far. Do more ETF in the future.

[christianlevac]

Great choices, have all three in my various portfolios

[SlyTrashPanda]

Just reviewing finances, thanks for the recommendations.

ETFs your recommending are in Canadian dollar and Canadian dollar is dropping value against US dollar so wouldn’t it be a wiser decision to buy ETFs that are in US dollar? all my money is in Canadian so I will have to convert Canadian to US dollar
