‘Creating a proper portfolio is about understanding yourself.'  Wise words as we cook up a great portfolio with our next guest, Ivyn Sambo, a law student and an amazing financial content creator we consider as a friend to EasyEquities.

With thousands of subscribers to his YouTube channel, Ivyn's words and messages resonate with many South Africans looking to take ownership of their own financial journeys and the markets.

We talked about the peer pressure that INVSTRs may go through when discussing the markets online, to being a student that has access to stock markets and investment opportunities, as well as understanding personal lessons in establishing the value of money when growing up. Equally as important, we look at what Ivyn uses to research stocks before buying shares in a company. You might want to take notes for this one!

Hit play on this episode to see how one of the most influential voices in the EasyEquities community invests and makes his money-making decisions.

Happy 2022!
