want to know the biggest investment that I've made hey guys it's Adrian here the Canadian in
a T-shirt and today I'll be talking about my biggest investment it's the coolest app
and the best community that I am proud to be a part of and that's Blossom social Blossom
is a social media platform designed for Canadian investors to discuss stocks ask questions about
investing and you can follow your favorite YouTubers and see our portfolios totally for
free Blossom is a total Game Changer and I'm not just speaking as a fan I'm invested I have skin
in the game I've put more money into Blossom than ryokan or even TD which are my favorite
stocks that's how much I believe in the future of this platform I joined the blossom team six
months ago and honestly it's been one of the best decisions I ever made the community on
Blossom is so welcoming and knowledgeable and passionate and they're continuing to
grow every day when I joined back in February we had about 7 000 viewers now we're at over 30
000 Canadian investors and no I can't take the credits the platform speaks for itself on top
of that we've brought together the biggest Canadian Financial YouTubers like Brandon
Beavis humble Trader passive income investing Daniel proc Financial Nirvana Mama Robin Haney
and on the Instagram Tick Tock side we've got joy Yang money with Cass Bilal from Canadian stocks
and more you should definitely check them out they're all awesome and we've genuinely become
friends all thanks to Blossom in fact we're doing a canada-wide meet and greet tour I'll talk about

News briefs from the blossom team and check out the most popular posts for the week as well as
for the month at the top you'll see our upcoming events speaking of which I just came back from
the Calgary meet and greet event it was a ton of fun meaning over a 100 of you guys and answering
questions that's why my voice is a little raspy I was talking for about five hours straight but
totally worth it we have two more events coming up Toronto will be on August 1st in the rec room
right beside the CN Tower and Montreal will be on August 3rd buy your tickets down below
they cost thirty dollars which includes food and drinks hope to see you there so that's the social
media side of things but a really cool part of Blossom is tracking your investing portfolio
here you can see my profile Canadian T-shirt with a quick snapshot of my portfolio breakdown
my largest Holdings and scroll down to see the full list of all of my stocks and ETFs that I
invested you guys probably recognize my largest Holdings like ryokan TD Coca-Cola Enbridge and
more this number inside the chart tells me my gain or loss for the day today was a good day
in the markets so my portfolio went up almost one percent not bad at all I can also select all time
this tells me that in terms of capital gains my portfolio has gone up 6.37 remember this is just
capital gains my actual rate of return is much higher because of dividends which I'll get to in
a second privacy is super important that's why on Blossom you can only see percentages not dollars
if I go to Brandon's account I have no idea how much money he has that's his business all I know
is that his portfolio went up 0.39 today and he has about 10 invested in Google the dollar
amounts are only visible to him on my portfolio I'll switch to private view so I can see the
dollar amounts again I'm the only person who can see this but for this video I'll give you guys a
quick peek Blossom is a super clean and easy way to track my portfolio as a whole so I can see that
my portfolio is worth about two hundred and eleven thousand dollars remember in public view you guys
can see that I went up up by 0.95 today but for me in private view I can see that I earned almost two
thousand dollars in capital gains that's a great day you can also see the all-time returns as a
whole and for each individual stock everything I've shown you is totally free on Blossom but
they've recently launched some extra tracking features especially for dividends with Blossom
Pro you should definitely give this a shot you have a seven day free trial and after
that it's about five dollars a month for me it's well worth it for the extra dividend analytics
let's take a look here in public view I can see my overall dividend yield across all my stocks and
ETFs is 4.59 but the cool part is in private view now I can see that my portfolio is earning
me almost eight thousand seven hundred dollars a year in dividends that's over 700 a month in
passive income I can also track dividends each month remember some stocks pay quarterly dividend
that's why I see a spike every three months I can also see a breakdown of each stock and how much in
dividends they pay me I love this feature and it's going to get even better with each update from my
portfolio you can click on trades to see every time I buy or sell a stock I'll usually include
a quick explanation as well and click on posts to see all the posts that I've made over time and
feel free to join the discussion in the comments check out the blossom social YouTube channel for
more in-depth walkthroughs with Max the CEO and click my referral link below to download Blossom
