❤JAI SHREE KRISHNA❤

Great video! Would be nice if you could list all the books you mentioned in the comments or description

The trust i have for people in finance that has a receding hairline ik they put in the work in their research

As much as this video is insightful. The editing threw me off completely. All the abruptly cutting the videos where even thee audio gets worked up. I am having a hard time keeping up. Pleasee keep that in mind thankyou

Read Warren Buffett’s letters. All of them.

Bah easy, just read. I learnt finance and economics on my own. Regarding markets, read and also hands on risking money.

Great video on finance.

Definitely improved my financial knowledge can use that to improve my trading skills on stock market.

As they say sometimes skills from one domain can help you deal with other domains they are interconnected.

So hyped this what learning should be about a way to engage with life and the world all the while helping you with important survival needs and important goals.

Great stuff keep the fire up AFNick.

I think I understand economics more then most people in economics I reading alot of Economic books and watching videos like documentaries about the 2008 financial crash about it its what I'm passionate about i just want to get a normal job in economics that pays me decently I don't expect to get rich from it or anything I think I'm capable of getting into economics I might take online course for some certificate on economics hopefully I get lucky and randomly get into economics which I'm passionate about

starting he series

I'm a science student but finance really interests me and am looking forward to learn it on my own.

The real teacher is "experience", a euphemism for loss. Whenever an advisor touts "experience" I always believed what they were really saying is, "I've lost money." My best self-taught lessons were exactly that. Loss. Because it hurts. It's like fire. You only have to be burned once to respect it.

QQQ, VOO, VT, government enforced retirement & fixed deposits

So glad I found this channel, I wish you could’ve taught some classes at my university

Happy i started trading consistently years ago

Is this AI video?)

Learn about Bitcoin. Everything else follows.

This video has an early/mid 2000's vibe and I'm here for it. Appreciate the knowledge Nick!

Hey I don't know why this video looks like it's made from AI?

Thank you so much for this video. It was informative and I’m looking forward to reading all of these books. Love from the UK 🇬🇧

Good one 🕜

Do you take interns?

Can anyone list out all the books mentioned in the video?

I think your interns are still out there trying to finish this reading list. 😅

Thumbnail got it. He looked like RG 😅

Most of these suggestions are not formal financial education (unless you're a trader/speculator) – stick with the CFA materials and proper finance textbooks and then branch out if you want

Can we direct how politicians trade? I mean the Pelosis are on a roll.

why you are not rich ?
