Iām 30 years old and an immigrant from the Philippines, currently working in Canada as a temporary foreign worker. Iāve been working here for the past two years. I started my investment journey in October 2025. I began with a BMO TFSA, then explored Fidelity and eventually moved to Wealthsimple as I learned more about investing and became more comfortable managing my money. One of the biggest moments in my investing journey was experiencing my first major market dip. The market downturn in April 2026, driven by rising tensions surrounding the IranāUSāIsrael conflict, was a completely new experience for me. I remember feeling very anxious and worried as I watched my investments drop. It was my first real experience of seeing the market decline, and it made me question whether I was making the right decisions with my money. Looking back, though, I realize that experiencing that dip was an important part of my journey as a new investor. It taught me that investing isnāt just about numbers and returnsāitās also about learning how to manage your emotions when the market doesnāt go the way you expect.
