How Islanders can protect their investments as Trump turmoil shakes the markets [Video]

Syed Imran Ali, a third-year student at the University of Prince Edward Island, started investing about six months ago.

Originally from Pakistan and attending UPEI’s School of Sustainable Design Engineering, Ali said he wanted to prepare financially to build his life here on the Island.

“After graduation, a lot of the students would be looking into purchasing their first house, maybe their car, maybe starting up a family,” he told CBC News. “It’s very important for students in general to start saving early, especially if you’re doing some part-time jobs, to save and invest them, so you can have it for your future.”

But lately, Ali has been paying close attention to how the markets are performing.
