hey guys it's Adrian here the Canadian in a T-shirt and today I'll be sharing
an announcement that I am very excited for I am partnering with and investing in a company
called Blossom social Blossom is a social media platform exclusively for Canadian investors to
discuss stocks share ideas with friends and you can even see my portfolio totally for free that's
right I'm revealing my entire investing portfolio and it won't cost you anything no monthly fee no
paywalls it's all out in the open and no this is totally separate from my membership program I'll
talk about that later in the video right now you can download this app for free and see what I'm
investing in and follow my trades every time I buy a stock and it's not just me you can follow
some of the biggest YouTubers and influencers in the Canadian Finance space like Brandon Beavis
humble Trader passive income investing Robin Haney and more we're all showing our investments out
in the open and that's the whole point of Blossom transparency I'm sure you guys have seen this on
YouTube Reddit social media in general where gurus and Anonymous users are hyping up a stock and you
have no way of vetting them or trusting them they could be lying maybe they don't even own
the stock they're just being paid to promote it and you have no way of verifying the truth
that's why transparency is so important I've been running this YouTube channel for three and a half
years and I will never recommend a stock or an investment that I don't personally own if I don't
believe in a company enough to put my own money in I would never sell it to my audience authenticity
and trust is everything for me and my YouTube friends all feel the same way and that's the
power of Blossom on this app all of the advice and opinions that you see are backed up by real data
real trades and real portfolios if Brandon makes a video telling you to buy for the stock at 55.00
share look them up on Blossom you'll see he actually owns Fortis and he bought it at that
price now you know who to trust and this isn't just for influencers it's for everyday Canadians
when you download the blossom app I'll include a link down below you can link it to your brokerages
like questrade and well simple and share your portfolio with friends family and like-minded
investors you can follow other investors to see their trades and holdings and they can follow you
it's all about building transparency and don't worry there's no bragging or comparing there are
no dollar amounts on Blossom it's all percentages let's look at my account you see a snapshot of my
entire portfolio but you don't see how much money I have you just see the breakdown of my Holdings
here I own TD and they make up six percent of my portfolio but no one sees how much money I have
in TD it could be a hundred dollars it could be a hundred thousand dollars that's hidden and that's
the point we're not showing off we're trying to learn from each other so there's no reason to be
intimidated again this app is totally free and it's only available for Canadians which is great
news since the vast majority of investing info is US focused this is also a new app it just launched
in the summer but it's growing fast and already has over 7 000 users across Canada I've only had
the app for a few hours and I've already had some great discussions about my portfolio and my trades
really guys it is such a welcoming community on Blossom which you don't always get on Reddit or
Twitter in the spirit of transparency I'm not just promoting this company I'm invested in it
I'm not doing this video to make money with affiliate income you guys know me I've never
done a sponsorship or paid ads I only recommend products and services that I personally use and
I wholeheartedly believe it but with Blossom it goes even further I have invested my own money
into this company that's how much I believe in this platform it's going to be a game changer
especially in the next phase when we combine this social network with a brokerage this will be the
first of its kind in Canada and I'm so excited to make it happen this app is still so new and
we're building new features every week and I'm not just cheering from the sidelines I'm working
with Brandon and the development team Max Anika and Karthik to make this platform even better we
know what influencers want and we know what our audience wants so we can make the best social and
learning experience for Canadian investors I'll include my referral link down below to sign up
for blossom again this app is totally free there's no reason not to try it but please use my referral
link to help support my channel I will earn a small commission at no cost to you plus we're
having a friendly competition among the YouTubers to see who could bring in the most users so I
appreciate the help if you're on your computer it will take you to a landing page like this and if
you're on your phone it will automatically take you you to the Apple App Store or Google Play
Store for the past two years I've been running a membership program where I reveal my portfolio and
make exclusive videos every time I buy a new stock this membership program costs five dollars a month
or about one dollar a week it's been a great way to engage with my audience and to help support my
channel but don't worry it's not going away now that I'm on Blossom I am revealing my portfolio
for free so I do expect to lose some of my members but that's okay there's still enough value to keep
my members only videos going while also giving away my portfolio on Blossom here's what I mean if
you just want a snapshot summary of my portfolio to see what stocks I'm invested in and what trades
I'm making then follow me on Blossom at Canadian t-shirt it won't cost you a thing but if you want
a full detailed breakdown of each stock I own with dollar amounts number of shares Book value
market value dividends received drip ratios drip thresholds and if you want a 10 minute
analysis of why I'm buying the stock how it fits in my portfolio and my recent stock performance
then you'll want to watch my exclusive members only videos I hope some of you will do both one
last thing right now on Blossom I'm only showing my tvsa and rrsp portfolio I'm not showing my
margin account just yet that's where I hold most of my growth stocks like Amazon and meta
don't worry I will reveal my margin account soon probably in a month or two but I want to
reveal my margin portfolio to my Members First they've been supporting me for over two years so
they deserve to see it first and then I'll show it on Blossom to gain access to these members
