I think financial freedom comes from knowing that the money we get is depreciating over time from inflation through quantitative easing by the banks so we should learn to save other things that adds value over time like stocks or precious commodities like Gold.
Yes! It's very hard to understand this concept because it's intangible and can't be seen with naked eyes, unless one pay much attention into it and make effort to do something!
I am back again to your channel after 2~3 years! it's time to allocate some time and properly learn and apply all these finance knowledge before diving deeper to investing. As usual, a good compilation of information and knowledge in 17 minutes. Learned a lot again today!
So excited for this. Im not from Malaysia, but as a non-us citizen its interesting for me to learn about investment opportunities and basic concepts of investing. Looking forward to the series!
Thanks for the video Ziet. Really appreciate it, hopefully ur channel grow bigger and makes more important series like us to gain more knowledge. Support from Malaysia 🎉❤
I'm so happy this was helpful to you!! Episode 3 coming out in the next few weeks - can't wait to share with y'all! Do check out Episode 2 here: th-cam.com/video/1clNRUsj-zs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ywJeA0sX82WOWq-x
It would be nice to have an episode diving deeper into loan, including doing some math etc, should one be making the loan for example buying a house as long as possible or a way to min max the interest rate of the loan vs taking into account that the fiat currency is inflationary over time meaning, the same amount of price that you pay over time is actually worth less, suppose you're doing fixed rate or how things matters when it is at a dynamic rate.
Oh yess! You bet we'll dive into those chapters - but first we will clear off the general stuffs (like general economics/finance) that beginners should know first!
Ziet, I just have my 2cents I wanna add about inflation: Even given no inflation, people will still need to go out and buy things. You can't stop eating food, drinking water or renting a place to live, just because the prices of things don't go up. Even in a deflationary economy this would still be true. Inflation is a hidden tax by the government that hits everyone, the rich and the poor. In fact it may hurt the poor even more than the rich as the poor people may have a higher percentage of assets in cash to meet their daily needs
Hi Ziet, followed you for a few years now. Just some suggestions: possibly break this down to Part 1 and part 2 instead of all in one video? Or bite size concise explanation for each topic? I noticed you slowed down your speech in this one however the delivery didn’t work me. It felt less natural. Keep up the good work and waiting for more contents from you 👍🏻
Bravo 🎉 Really good educational video. This is the foundation of what finance or econs students study in school but presented in an easily understandable way.
Hi weiyuen, that's a good question! Yes, there is deflation - opposite of inflation, when prices decrease over a period of time. It might sound good at first, but, deflation usually can lead to decreased consumer spending (as people wait for prices to fall further), lower production, job layoffs, and overall economic slowdown. I didn't cover it in this video as it's a less common scenario than inflation, but it's a very important concept in economics nonetheless. Historical examples (deflationary period): 1. The Great Depression (1930s) 2. Japan (1990s to 2000s) 3. United States (2007-2008) Can read more from Investopedia here: www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/what-difference-between-inflation-and-deflation.asp#:~:text=Inflation%20occurs%20when%20the%20prices,one%20condition%20to%20the%20other. Keep the great questions coming!
@@ZietInvests I see. Good to know there's such a thing. I have never seen anyone cover this topic before. Many thanks for the great info. I will read more on the link you sent.
Thank you very much! I do edit some of my own videos, but for more complex videos like this one that requires more motion graphics, I have my trusty teammate (video editor) to do the job hehe. he uses Adobe Premiere Pro + After Effects (essential to achieve all the 2D motion graphics shown in this video)
It's not something that I think about at this moment! I believe financial education should be given for free to everyone, watching my videos would be the greatest support❤️
Hi Resh! My stock portfolio can be found on my instagram pinned post - roughly 70% TSLA with the rest AAPL, GOOG and AMZN. 80% of my holdings are in interactive brokers 😁
@ZietInvests Hi Ziet, appreciate your kind reply. Yup I've just seen your portfolio, and I'm quite surprised you didn't invest in any ETFs. May I know if there's any reason behind it?
Hi bro, thanks for the video! if paper currency were replaced with coins of varying sizes made of gold, silver, and bronze, it would contribute to combating inflation. What do you think?
one thing i appreciate about this channel is that comments are always replied. let me bring up one more this time. how can we invest in Franklin Income Fund from asia?
Hi, from what i can see online, the fund you mentioned is a mutual fund, i think you can try looking for it via fund-specialty brokers like FSMOne by iFast - personally never invested in mutual fund so i cant provide you much input on that 😅
Hey there! Great question about the withholding tax for owning IVV on the ASX. When you invest in US-based ETFs like IVV from Australia, you're generally subject to a 15% withholding tax on the dividends due to the tax treaty between the US and Australia.
Hi there! To say no impact is a lie, but to quantify the impact is also very hard since no wars are the same, and no stock market crash are the same historically. But that's the beauty tho - with uncertainties come risk, and with risk comes reward!

Hi Jessica, thank you very much for your feedback. Very well noted, we will fix that for upcoming episodes that we're working on!
Bravo 🎉 Really good educational video. This is the foundation of what finance or econs students study in school but presented in an easily understandable way.
Thank you so much for this Ivan! Really helps us to keep going🥰
Great video Ziet. Hope to see more coming. Im just curious. Is there "deflation"? Since there is inflation? Sorry if I'm asking something stupid.

It might sound good at first, but, deflation usually can lead to decreased consumer spending (as people wait for prices to fall further), lower production, job layoffs, and overall economic slowdown.

Hi Ziet, thanks for the video! Really helpful. May I know what stocks are you holding in your portfolio and its allocation on IkBR?
Hi Resh! My stock portfolio can be found on my instagram pinned post - roughly 70% TSLA with the rest AAPL, GOOG and AMZN. 80% of my holdings are in interactive brokers 😁
@ZietInvests Hi Ziet, appreciate your kind reply. Yup I've just seen your portfolio, and I'm quite surprised you didn't invest in any ETFs. May I know if there's any reason behind it?
Nice. Thanks for sharing this 👍
You're most welcome brother!

Ahhhh why not! Will look into it hehe
bro, really become a bro gurus. Keep it up bro
Love “bro gurus”🤣🤣 thank you!
Hi bro, thanks for the video!
if paper currency were replaced with coins of varying sizes made of gold, silver, and bronze, it would contribute to combating inflation.
What do you think?
Hi there! i dont think that will ever happen else its going backwards :P
Good job bro. Keep it up
Thank you!😁

Perfect! So it's the same as the Ireland domiciled ETF. Kam sia
Hello ziet, do you think the current wars happening around the globe will have negative impact on the stock market in the years to come?
Hi there! To say no impact is a lie, but to quantify the impact is also very hard since no wars are the same, and no stock market crash are the same historically.
But that's the beauty tho - with uncertainties come risk, and with risk comes reward!
