    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.

      Well that's just in the first couple days. My academic tutorials accumulate views over years and years, since students watch them specifically when they need to for a particular class.

      Videos like these have more utility but can only appeal to those interested in the topic at hand
      While anyone can watch a good fight video

      I started watching these videos, they might not get as many but I love them anyways.
      Though I do enjoy watching him dismantle all these flat earth/young earth it whatever.
      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.

      I lost a lot chasing individual stocks and I feel pretty silly for not understanding how investing works. I have a double major in economics but I’ve been trying to make sense of the market. Well done on profits!

    • @ShelleyfromCali
      @ShelleyfromCali Місяць тому +1

      Keep it simple, buy things you understand, take some risk but don't try to shoot the lights out. I’m invested in ETFs, equity index funds, and individual stocks and use a CFA. On average, she takes 10% of earnings, but using *Lina Dineikiene's* system makes it much more hands-off. I conservatively follow her recommendations and market entry and exit points, and tbh this makes it fairly simple for me... I am convinced it's not just hard work but smart work :-)

    Dave is teaching future generations what they should’ve taught us. Learning about investing and economics early is a HUGE benefit. And I’m not even 30 yet so I still benefit from these videos as well. Thanks professor!

    I love how this guy is essentially a glorified chemistry professor ( a status well earned i might add) yet he can cover subjects completely outside of his field so well that even actual teachers who teach on these topics use HIS VIDEOS in THEIR CLASS
    Well done Dave 👍

    Key takeaways -
    1. Two popular ways of investing in-
    A. Stocks which are basically representation of ownership of a company. Investors are benefitted by either dividends that the company payout 4 times a year and capital gain which is when the stock is sold and investors makes sone extra money over original investment.
    B. bonds - loaning money in return for a guarantee payment in a later date.
    2. Financial institutions- institutions that move money of savers to borrowers. Banks, MF, hedge funds and pension funds.
    3.MF - pooling money from savers and investing in a variety of stocks and bonds
    4. Hedge funds- funds used by pvt financial organisations to make more money using risky strategies. Commonly big shots invest in such funds as they have better knowledge.
    It’s better to diversify and invest early as time is a valuable asset.

      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.
