A CFA charterholder debunks financial hype and explains investing fundamentals with unusual patience.
About this channel
Investing and personal finance educational videos with a hint of economics, posted regularly. I'm a CFA charterholder and CFP professional working as an analyst for an investment management company in Ottawa. I'm a huge finance nerd and am passionate about the field - I think people lack the resources they need to make educated financial decisions, and hopefully this channel helps with that!
