    2. Gosh as a new commer i was struggling to understand these concepts but it all sunk in after 2 minutes of watching this.

  3. I love your videos, they are helping me a lot. Thank you so much. The only thing about the dealer word that got me a little confused is that from what I know dividends are an equity account right? So technically it should increase on the credit side. I guess I just need to think that dividend is an equity account that is treated differently. Thank you again!

  4. You made it quite easy to understand. Thanks
