What students love
“Selling is easy to overthink. If the business quality and management remain intact, time usually does the heavy lifting. Simple, but not easy.”

“Super insightful investing plan for 2026! Loved the breakdown of asset allocation and the deep dive into top holdings like Mercado Libre, Tesla, Alphabet, Meta, and Netflix. This is a must-watch for long-term investors!”

“I hit 190,590 today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way so far. I started with a smaller amount of 87k a week ago and now I’m at 190k plus today.”

“One of your better videos Brian! Remarkable layout of how to think of investing in general for the long term. Many people just “pick” stocks but lack this broad approach.”

“Thanks for the comparison and using VOO as a very standard benchmark for 10-year total returns. I personally like and have both SCHD and DGRO as the majority of my dividend group.”

What could be better
“You got efficient market hypothesis wrong. All it means is most prices reflect all available information and you're not generating alpha based on current news.”

“Why would you use a taxable account for stock picking when you’re taxed every time you sell instead of a self-managed 401k when you have no such tax penalty?”

“My soul crumpled when you discussed the Efficient Market Hypothesis. You got it completely wrong. The simplest way to understand EMH is that you can't beat the market over any meaningful period.”

“You are not comparing apples to apples. The correct amount of money that you need to have invested in 1991 MUST be accounted for inflation. $10,000 in 1991 is equivalent to ~$25,000 today.”

“How much of this is for the sake of video and how much of this is real? Show the folio with exact amounts or it’s not real.”

“I liked your channel but then I saw Tesla stock was your second largest holding and I lost a lot of faith. No mention of the absolutely absurd PE ratio whatsoever.”
“I really like your videos for stock analysis. I bought some products of you. But I am a little bit shocked that you just invest a large amount of your capital into an ETF.”
“You mentioned around 4:30 in the video that inflation was driven by price increases in various goods during COVID. But that's really just the effect, the cause is easy money policies.”
“This video taught me an important lesson. The investor's opinion on GOOGLE clearly is telling me despite the fact that he probably is a good investor he has very limited domain knowledge on the company.”
