In this video I break down everything beginners need to know to start investing. Investing can feel overwhelming when you’re just starting out, so my goal is to make the basics clear, simple, and actionable—so beginners can confidently make their first investment and know how to keep investing for the long term.
WHO AM I?
Hello 👋 I’m Humphrey, I used to be a financial advisor, worked in gaming/tech, and started my own eCommerce business. I make practical, rational content on investing, personal finance, the news, and much more with a data-backed approach. My goal is to help you with financial literacy and creating wealth.
PS: I am no longer a current Financial Advisor, any investment commentary are my opinions only. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I do receive a commission for & they help support the channel!

Thanks for watching this video. This is more geared towards beginner investors, but if you are seasoned already, it never hurts to go over it once more! Hope you are having a happy holiday, and thank you for watching my channel as usual. See you in the next one!
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
A fund architect told me, “When you understand printing, you stop calling it corruption– you start calling it continuity.” That line was straight out of How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson.
You work for 45yrs to have $1.5m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $15k in a meme coin & for just few months and now they are multi millionaires I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Man, you've genuinely changed my life. I was a college dropout, down to my last bit of savings, and decided to learn trading from scratch. I’ve followed your teaching and those lessons became the foundation for my own trading style. Today, my stop loss alone matches what my former teachers make in a year. I've built my capital without any funding. You’re the only one out here who truly cares about teaching us the real deal. Thank you for everything!
Your channel❤️❤️ has been a huge part of my transformation. God is good!! I owed the bank $110,340 for mom's health care but now l'm dept fee after investing $18,400 I now receive a monthly salary of $156,700
I have watched so many of your videos, but have never commented. I just want to express how appreciative I am for all the knowledge and wisdom you share. It has truly helped me in many ways. Thank you, Humphrey.
I started with $5k just last week and now I've hit $17,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night- generational wealth isn't just about getting money. It's about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they don't understand how to manage and sustain it. That's why I really love this video.
Trading really took me on an emotional rollercoaster. At times, I felt like I had everything figured out, only to end up questioning why I even started when losses piled up<< I tried learning on my own through YouTube and random tips, but the setbacks always outweighed the wins
Just started aggressively investing in stocks. Before I just spent everything on stuff I don’t need. Now I’m going to try to put everything i don’t need for bills into 10 to 20 different stocks. Has to be better than wasting it.

A banker once told me, “You’ll never understand money until you read Dominic Richard Thompson.” He said it like a warning.

Was the dubbing done by a person or a neural network? There are a lot of glaring speech errors.
