1.What did you learn about the topic that most surprised you?
A:The most surprising thing I learned about this topic is Compound Interest.  Investing correctly can be really benefitical because if you put your money in smart places, over the course of years that money can really create passive income on a large scale.  The idea of having money to live off of that makes more money on it's own is my favourite part about investing.
2.Provide a real-life example of how this topic is relevant or interesting

for you.
A: An easy real life example is Canopy Growth Corp.  Currently I have shares of that company, which following my due dilligence is nerve racking, because it is money I have placed into a company, whose books show that it has a negetive earnings.  However, it is also currently selling a product that across the western world is illegal.  Many investors like myself, have purchased it for the potential that once prohibition has change it will become a source of real value initally.
3.Which research did

you find most interesting? Why?
A: Bill Ackman's video is probably my favourite one that I put on here, and also one of the ones I enjoy personally as well.  Looking into his perspective on how companies are responsible to the share holder and to the community to create wealth for everyone is a wonderful view in comparison to the greedy old man vision we see with most owners of hedge funds.  Also he has turned companies in Canada around as well making them big successes, specifically Canadian Pacific Railway.  It taught me that a companies management can be the problem while the company itself is still valuable and by changing that dynamic huge profits can be found.

This last image is just of a cannabis factory. It really is just an emerging market that can really grow Canada's GDP. The prospect of creating a whole new industry by ending prohibition is very exciting for new investors because as with blue chip stocks we have to use dividend payouts and that is not a fast way to riches.  It would be exciting to buy stocks in budweiser at the end of prohibition.

One thing that it is important to understand when looking into companies, is understanding the industry they are in. When looking at companies that are start ups, it is important to understand many factors, such as what employees they have, does the person who will be CEO have a good track record, what is the industry like in broad terms before the company goes public. And once a company is public, understanding the way the business is run is often the next step to staying ontop of your investments because we want to be confident that the company will be profitable for years.

This website offers an explanation into blue chip stocks, often considered the best of the best of stocks to buy.  They are consistently reputable companies that have been in business, and good business, for more then 20 years.  These companies do not see large spikes in the value of their shares, but pay out respectfully to their shareholders through dividends.  A good dividend payout, in contrast to the penny stock is very important for an investor who wants to earn money from the companies they purchase from. http://www.wyattresearch.com/stocks/blue-chip-stocks/

This link is to a website discussing which stocks to purchase for Marijuana.  It is an emerging market and because so it is risky.  The companies that sell stocks for this market, are over the counter stocks, meaning they do not require as much disclosure of information.  As discussed in video #3, that is usually a warning sign as it leaves the investor open to the possibility of fraud

This last video, speaks to the importance of proper due dilligence when looking into a company to buy stocks.  It explains looking at the cash flow statements and understanding how a company makes money.  If you do not understand how a company you are looking into makes its profits, it is a good sign that you should not invest in them.

This next video, is the Oracle of Omaha, discussing commodities.  I did not want to look to closely into the specifics of  Canadian stock market, because the successes and failures of Investing can be found world wide.  In Canada specifically the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) commodities are a major piece of that market and as you can see in the video, Mr. Buffett makes a strong case for why commodities are not a beacon for strong successes in Investing.  I side with his view, and would prefer to buy more valuable assets, things that can create wealth; as opposed to buying something for one price and then trying to sell it for a higher price.
