In this concluding part of the conversation with CbianBen, we break down the basics of stock analysis. In very simple to understand terms, we go over how to research a stock, what to look for companies' financial statements and how to know when to buy or sell a stock.
This is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything nor is this financial advice. Everything we say on this podcast is for education and entertainment purposes only.
This is scintillating episode with many nuggets of wisdom shared. One thing Ben said that really stood out for me was: "the biggest jail you can ever be in is to be broke."
Financial literacy is not a luxury really, it is a must for everyone to have. And TIB is dedicated to sharing just that! We gat you :-).

This is the second part of the conversation with CbianBen on making money in the stock market. Content is not financial advice, everything said here is for education and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, I am joined by Ben Ihesiaba, popularly known as CbianBen on social media. We talk about how to make money in the stock market. Ben is a software engineer in Atlanta who moonlights as an investment researcher for a group of people. While he is not a licensed stockbroker, he has been actively dealing in stocks for about 20 years. He shares his investment approach, breaking down the rudiments of buying a stock in a way that even the complete newbie can understand.
Like me, Ben is also an immigrant who is very passionate about promoting financial literacy within our community and helping you secure the bag. This is episode is the first of a very interesting 3-part series that will help you understand the way money works with stocks. Please note that none of this is financial advice nor is it a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Everything we say here is for education and entertainment purposes only.
In this episode, I take a look at the latest GDP report from the US and what it might mean for you and I. I consider the economic definition of a recession from a GDP standpoint, why we all should pay attention and individual steps that we can begin to take to protect our personal finances.
I go on to discuss some pillars of wealth building and how you as an immigrant may begin to leverage them to secure the bag. Enjoy the episode!
In this episode of The Immigrant Bag, I take a look at the gap in immigrants' retirement savings that you do not normally hear people talk about. In many cases, immigrants who relocate in their 30s or 40s, have many years of retirement savings to catch up on. To put in it perspective, a 43 year old who has been working in Canada since the college has about a 20 year head start on a 43 year old immigrant who has only been working here for a couple of years.
Retirement savings is a huge topic that cannot be discussed exhaustively in one episode. I try to scratch the surface just enough to ginger a positive reflection on the issue while also discussing potential mitigation strategies.
None of this content is financial advice. It is meant for education and entertainment only.
In this first ever episode of The Immigrant Bag, I'm excited to share the thinking behind the creation of the podcast and the unique gap it is filling by providing financial literacy in simple knowledge nuggets to help immigrants secure the bag.
I also discuss the latest BoC interest rate hike and what it means in layman's terms for everyday people. None of this content is financial advice, it is meant for education and entertainment purposes only.
