    I wish they taught investing at school level. There is so much advantage to doing this!
    My biggest regret is that I started so late.

      They don't teach in schools because if people started to learn the power of investing early, they could probably retire in their 50s. That would be bad for employers. The system is designed to keep society working into old age.

      I believe it's never too late for anyone Most important thing is to get started and build your income over time to continue investing more as time goes on. I put in around 75K fourteen months ago in equity index funds, ETFs and individual stocks, current portfolio value is ~$690K and growing.

    Glancing over the videos for something to watch, I noticed that primarily, the "fight" videos are the ones that get over 100K views. These great learning videos only get 5K to 10K views. I appreciate your continuing to make them, Dave.

      Correcting misinformation is a great way to educate people also so I appreciate that he does that. Plus hopefully he can get through to some of the people who have fallen into those lies.

      You can setup a brokerage account where you can buy ETFs or purchase a mutual fund directly from the financial institution. Look for ones with low fees, all in one portfolio ETFs are a good option.

    I know professor dave has moved on. From Flat earth, but i so would love for him to do an interview with a cgi artist/computer scientist. To show what their software looks like. And how their probably is no geniune talented artist that can deny 3d modeling math, lighting, dymanics, physics,.. they may not have a full grasp on all theses topics but they have to have a lot of info inorder to symmulate these things aka create a fake image. And how imposible real life cams and satillite footage would be to fake. I went to school for this and head longed into light and motion physics and complex geometry.
