The Plain Bagel
Investing and personal finance educational videos with a hint of economics, posted regularly.
I'm a CFA charterholder and CFP professional working as an analyst for an investment management company in Ottawa. I'm a huge finance nerd and am passionate about the field - I think people lack the resources they need to make educated financial decisions, and hopefully this channel helps with that!

A viewer has informed me that someone is using my likeness to promote a trading community on Instagram.
As an FYI, I don't promote ANY financial service offering on my channel, and my only active social media channels are here on YouTube and X. Be safe out there.
