When looking into what to invest in, you have to do your research. I am still grappling the concept of AI (artificial intelligence) and how it has such an influence on us. A few months ago I watched a couple of YouTube videos showing how AI services can create an actual video by giving it certain criteria. From just commands and a description, AI can create an entire YouTube video. That is when I knew that AI was going to…

When I look back at how I started my investment journey, I know that I made the best decisions with the knowledge and information I had at that time. I also feel that I was very conscious about my investing patterns which lead to a more conservative portfolio.

Don’t Forget The Referral 

Don’t Forget The Referral 

Comments 0 Comment

A friend of mine asked me about the Chase Ink credit card and that he was thinking of opening one. I was happy that he came to me and the excitement made me forget about referrals.

Who knew they had this interest and the talent. They both got really good at what they do and created a side…
