  Why Investing Fashion Stocks Is So Hard: 3 Failures & 3 Comebacks 14.09.2026 54dk

  Lululemon was once one of the strongest brands in retail. Now comparable sales are falling, guidance has been cut repeatedly, and investors are asking whether the company can regain its footing—or whether its best days are behind it. In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan dig into why fashion companies can be some of the most difficult businesses to own for the long term. Consumer tastes can change quickly, switching costs are virtually nonexistent, aggressive expansion can backfire, and excessive discounting can train customers to stop paying full price. They look back at Express, Quiksilver and Aeropostale, three once-popular brands whose public shareholders were eventually wiped out, and contrast them with some remarkable comeback stories. Abercrombie & Fitch reinvented its brand, Victoria’s Secret changed course, and Crocs nearly went under before doubling down on the product that made it famous. Finally, Simon and Dan discuss what these examples could teach investors about Lululemon, whether its turnaround could take years, and why waiting for evidence of a recovery may make more sense than trying to perfectly time the bottom. Stocks discussed: LULU, ATZ.TO, GOOS, GRGD.TO, GAP, NKE, ANF, VSXY, CROX, ADS.DE.  Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

  Bond Yields Are Rising Fast — What It Means for Canada, the US and Homeowners 12.09.2026 1sa 7dk

  Bond yields are surging in Canada and the United States, and the implications are starting to ripple across the economy. In this episode of the Canadian Macro Show, Simon and Dan break down why the bond market appears to be pushing back against attempts to contain long-term yields, what rising government spending and persistent inflation could mean for interest rates, and why higher borrowing costs could become a major problem for housing, AI investment and economic growth. They also dig into the escalating Canada-US trade war and why Trump may be increasingly motivated to secure a deal with Canada ahead of the midterms. Plus, they discuss Canada's weakening labour market, the growing popularity of variable and shorter-term mortgages, the pressures facing Canadian consumers, and whether government-funded investment is masking underlying weakness in the private-sector economy. Finally, they look at how geopolitics, elevated oil prices, tariffs and fiscal policy are becoming increasingly interconnected with inflation, bond yields and investment markets—and why ignoring macroeconomic developments may be getting much harder for investors.     Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

  Lululemon’s Brand Crisis Deepens & Trump Targets Canadian Companies 10.09.2026 48dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down a rough quarter for Lululemon as falling comparable sales, heavier markdowns and weakening international growth raise serious questions about whether the brand can turn things around. They also look at BRP’s latest results and how tariffs are creating major uncertainty for an otherwise well-run business, before digging into the latest Canada–U.S. trade tensions surrounding Bombardier and Canadian banks. Then, they turn to Couche-Tard, where fuel profits remain strong but merchandise growth continues to struggle as consumers increasingly trade down and look for value. Finally, they check in on GameStop’s ongoing pivot toward collectibles and whether the company is quietly building a more sustainable business despite continued declines in its traditional operations.

  Data Center Revolt and the Best Ways to Invest in Pharma & Biotech 07.09.2026 48dk

  The AI infrastructure boom is running into a growing obstacle: communities and regulators are pushing back against massive data center projects. Simon and Dan look at why opposition to new data centers is accelerating, particularly around electricity demand, utility costs, water usage and the strain these projects can put on existing infrastructure. They also discuss what delays could mean for the AI buildout, which parts of the ecosystem could benefit from constrained computing capacity, and why Alberta is emerging as an important battleground for new projects. Then, Simon follows up on last week’s Royalty Pharma deep dive by looking at the different ways investors can gain exposure to pharmaceuticals and biotech. From diversified ETFs to established drugmakers, higher-risk biotech companies and the royalty model, they break down the trade-offs between diversification, upside potential and clinical-development risk. They also discuss why seemingly “safe” pharmaceutical giants can still carry significant concentration risk, how AI could reshape drug development, and why healthcare may be one of the more overlooked ways to invest in the AI theme. Stocks/ETFs discussed: RPRX, MRNA, MRK, JNJ, ABBV, LLY, VRTX, REGN, AMGN, GILD, ISRG, SHOP, HUT, SEI, TT, IXJ, ZHU.TO, XPH, IHE, IBB, XBI.   Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

  The BoC Is Concerned About Inflation & Bond Yields Hit New Multi-Year Highs 05.09.2026 59dk

  Bond yields are climbing, energy prices are surging, and central banks are being forced to navigate an increasingly complicated inflation picture. Simon and Dan break down what the bond market may be signaling and why higher long-term yields matter even if the Bank of Canada keeps its policy rate unchanged. They discuss the potential impact on Canadian housing, rental construction and mortgage financing, along with why inflation-adjusted home prices can continue falling even when nominal prices stabilize. They also look at the sharp increase in diesel prices and refinery margins, what higher transportation costs could eventually mean for consumers, and whether households have enough room left to absorb another round of price increases. The conversation then turns to monetary policy following the latest Bank of Canada decision and Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, before digging into one of the biggest risks surrounding the AI boom: financing. With hundreds of billions being poured into AI infrastructure, rising borrowing costs and increasingly interconnected financing arrangements could become a major vulnerability. Simon and Dan discuss what happens if AI companies ultimately generate less revenue than expected, whether hyperscalers could be left with excess capacity, and why enormous technological breakthroughs can still coincide with massive capital destruction for investors. Stocks/ETFs discussed: NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, ORCL, TSLA, WMT, TGT, HD, LOW, DLTR, L.TO, DOL.TO. Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

  Nvidia’s AI Boom Gets Bigger, Canadian Banks Hold Up and Dollar Tree’s Turnaround 03.09.2026 49dk

  Nvidia (NVDA) delivered another massive quarter, with data center revenue surging and management forecasting extraordinary growth ahead. But as the AI buildout gets larger, Nvidia is also becoming increasingly involved in financing, demand guarantees and other arrangements across the AI ecosystem. Simon and Dan break down why that matters, where the risks are building, and what could happen if some of AI’s biggest customers eventually pull back. They also wrap up Canadian bank earnings season with a closer look at CIBC (CM.TO), including rising mortgage delinquencies, commercial credit trends and the growing importance of wealth management and capital markets across the Canadian banks. Salesforce (CRM) delivered a strong quarter as its AI products continue gaining traction, providing another example of why not every software company is being disrupted by AI. Dollar Tree (DLTR) continues its turnaround, expanding its multi-price strategy and improving store operations as more consumers search for value. Simon and Dan compare its progress with Dollarama (DOL.TO) and discuss why Dollar Tree could potentially offer more upside despite Dollarama remaining the stronger operator. Finally, Best Buy (BBY) provides an interesting look at consumer spending, with a notable divergence emerging between its U.S. and Canadian businesses. Subscribe to Our New Youtube Channel!

  Two Stocks That Could Surprise Investors | AppLovin & Royalty Pharma Deep Dive 31.08.2026 44dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we do a deep dive on two companies we haven’t covered much before: Royalty Pharma and AppLovin. We start with Royalty Pharma, a unique business that finances pharmaceutical and biotech products in exchange for future royalty streams. We break down how the business model works, why it has similarities to precious metals royalty companies like Franco-Nevada, and how investors should think about portfolio receipts, cash flow, milestone payments, drug approval risk, concentration risk and capital allocation. We then turn to AppLovin, one of the most talked-about stocks in the market. We look at how its AI-powered mobile advertising platform works, why the company generates extremely high margins with minimal capital expenditures, and what makes the business so profitable. We also discuss the risks facing AppLovin, including slowing growth, competition from Meta, Apple and Alphabet, concerns raised by short sellers, and why the market is having such a hard time valuing the company after a massive run-up and sharp drawdown.

  The Canada-U.S. Trade War Fallout with Ben Rabidoux and Ron Butler 29.08.2026 1sa 26dk

  In this episode of Canadian Macro, Simon and Dan are joined by Ben Rabidoux and Ron Butler for a wide-ranging discussion on the renewed U.S.-Canada trade tensions and what they could mean for the Canadian economy. They discuss why the trade war could weigh on consumer confidence, business investment, housing activity and key sectors like autos, agriculture, energy and manufacturing. The conversation also covers how political rhetoric, counter-tariffs and uncertainty around future U.S. policy could keep buyers and businesses on the sidelines. Ben breaks down what he is seeing in the Canadian housing market, including why parts of Ontario may be moving closer to a bottom, why housing bottoms tend to be a multi-year process, and how weak consumer confidence, affordability challenges and falling new supply are shaping the outlook. Ron joins the discussion to explain what is happening on the mortgage front, including why more borrowers are moving toward variable rates, how household stress is showing up in refinancing and debt consolidation, and why power-of-sale activity could continue rising into 2027. The episode also covers the K-shaped economy, weakening consumer spending, Canadian bank risks, mortgage fraud, potential U.S. pressure on Canadian financial institutions, and why the next phase of the trade war could have major implications for markets, housing and the broader economy.

  Canadian Banks Start Strong as Walmart and Intuit Slow Down 27.08.2026 41dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest earnings from major U.S. retailers, Canadian banks, and one beaten-down software company. We start with Walmart and Target, where the results show that the consumer may be starting to feel more pressure. Walmart continues to perform well overall, but its comparable sales growth slowed sharply, and management noted that higher gas prices are changing consumer behaviour. Target showed stronger comparable sales than expected, but both retailers are leaning on price cuts and grocery strength as discretionary spending remains under pressure. We then turn to Canadian bank earnings, including Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank and National Bank. We discuss provisions for credit losses, improving margins, strong capital markets results, wealth management growth, and why the banks continue to deliver despite concerns about the Canadian economy. Finally, we look at Intuit after its latest earnings, including the pressure facing TurboTax and Mailchimp, the continued strength of QuickBooks, and whether AI and pricing pressure are starting to disrupt parts of the business.

  10 Investing Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Portfolio 24.08.2026 51dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down 10 common mistakes that investors make and how they can hurt long-term returns. We discuss the danger of overconcentration, why chasing the hottest trade can derail a sound strategy, and how investors can get lured in by massive revenue growth while ignoring risks hiding on the balance sheet. We also cover emotional mistakes like fear of missing out, fear of losses, overconfidence, confirmation bias, anchoring to your cost basis, and the sunk cost fallacy. Along the way, we share examples from our own investing experience, including lessons learned from crypto, growth stocks, Telus, Shopify, Allied Properties REIT, and other situations where process mattered more than short-term results. Whether you invest in individual stocks, ETFs, dividend stocks, or a mix of everything, this episode is a reminder that avoiding big mistakes can be just as important as finding big winners.

  Trade Deal Hopes, Consumer Weakness, and Bond Market Jitters Send Gold & Bitcoin Higher 22.08.2026 51dk

  In this episode of Canadian Macro, Simon and Dan break down a busy week for inflation, trade, bonds, currencies and commodities. They start with the latest Canadian CPI report, including the renewed pressure from gasoline, food and diesel prices, and why the headline inflation number may not fully capture what households are actually feeling. They also discuss the early details of a potential U.S.-Canada trade deal, including tariffs on autos, steel and aluminum, the push to reopen Canadian markets to U.S. alcohol, and whether Keystone XL could re-enter the conversation. The main focus of the episode is the U.S. bond market. Simon and Dan explain why the U.S. Treasury is increasing buybacks of older Treasury bonds, what that could mean for long-term yields, and why recent moves involving Japan, the yen, and the FIMA repo facility suggest policymakers may be getting more nervous about Treasury market stability. They also discuss why gold and Bitcoin have rallied, what it could say about confidence in government bonds and fiat currencies, and why rising U.S. yields matter directly for Canada, mortgage rates, the loonie and the Bank of Canada.   Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

We start with Moderna, whose stock more than doubled after the company announced positive late-stage trial results for its personalized mRNA cancer therapy developed with Merck. We discuss why the news matters for Moderna, why Merck also benefited, and why biotech investing can be so volatile. We then look at Canadian Tire’s latest quarter, including the strength at SportChek and Mark’s, the stabilization in its financial services segment, and the upcoming Triangle Rewards partnership with Tim Hortons. From there, we discuss Home Depot and Lowe’s, what their results say about the housing and renovation market, and why elevated interest rates continue to weigh on big-ticket home improvement spending. We also revisit Constellation Software after its latest earnings, including organic growth concerns, record capital deployment, and why the company says AI has not materially disrupted its business so far. Finally, we cover Air Canada’s quarter, rising airline costs, CoreWeave’s explosive AI infrastructure growth and balance sheet risk, and Klarna’s latest results after a sharp post-earnings selloff.

  Canada’s Housing Reset, AI Circular Financing and the Fed’s Impossible Choice 15.08.2026 50dk

  In this episode of Canadian Macro, Simon and Dan break down the disconnect between headline economic data and what households are actually experiencing. They discuss why strong jobs and GDP numbers may not tell the full story for Canadian consumers, how mortgage renewals and rising housing costs are putting pressure on household finances, and why the Bank of Canada may be stuck waiting for clearer signals before making its next move. They also dive into the growing debate around the AI boom — including Nvidia’s massive AI financing plans, the risks of circular financing, whether AI companies can eventually generate enough profits to justify current spending, and what could happen if investor expectations shift. Plus, they discuss oil markets, inflation risks, bond yields, the Fed’s difficult choices, and what a potential slowdown could mean for investors.   Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

  Why Most Retirees Get the 4% Rule Wrong with Mark McGrath, CFP 10.08.2026 52dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon is joined by Mark McGrath, a CFP and advice-only financial planner focused on helping Canadian physicians with comprehensive financial planning. Mark explains how advice-only planning works, how it differs from traditional portfolio management, and why a full financial plan often needs to cover cash flow, taxes, retirement, insurance, estate planning, debt, and investment strategy together rather than in isolation.They also discuss common investing mistakes, including chasing returns, taking advice from the wrong people, overconcentrating in single stocks, relying too heavily on AI tools, and focusing too much on investments while ignoring risk management, insurance and estate planning. In the second half of the episode, Simon and Mark dig into retirement decumulation, annuities, the 4% rule, variable withdrawals, sequence-of-returns risk, and why retirement income planning is highly personal. They also discuss why investors should avoid wasting low tax brackets and how proportional withdrawals across RRSPs, TFSAs and non-registered accounts can be a useful starting point for retirees without a detailed decumulation plan.

  In this live episode of The Canadian Macro Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down the recent intervention in the Japanese yen and why it matters for global bond markets, U.S. Treasury yields, mortgage rates and the yen carry trade. They discuss why Japan and the U.S. may have stepped in, how the intervention worked, and why the yen remains under pressure despite the move. They also look at Canada’s latest GDP data, why the numbers have been so volatile, and whether Canada is heading for a shallow grind or avoiding a deeper downturn through fiscal spending and major resource projects. From there, they discuss the growing AI capex boom, the massive spending commitments from big tech, and what it could mean for energy, infrastructure and bond markets. They also touch on oil prices, Canadian energy stocks, gold’s recent move higher, and why changes to Canada’s population data could alter key economic metrics like GDP per capita and unemployment.   Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

  4 Stocks on Our Radar - Finding Value Outside the AI Hype 03.08.2026 51dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we look at four stocks that are on our radar right now, including a mix of well-known names and smaller Canadian companies that may be overlooked by investors. We start with Netflix, which has fallen sharply from its highs and now looks much more reasonably valued than it did during the peak of its run. We discuss the company’s ad-tier opportunity, pricing power, content spending, and how AI could potentially lower production costs over time. We then look at 5N Plus, a Canadian small-cap involved in specialty semiconductors and performance materials used in solar power, medical imaging, defense, advanced electronics and space applications. We also discuss Jamieson Wellness, its international growth opportunity, and the potential takeover interest in the company. Finally, we break down Agnico Eagle, why it stands out among major gold miners, its low all-in sustaining costs, strong balance sheet, free cash flow generation, and why gold miners may be worth another look after their recent pullback. Tickers discussed: NFLX, VNP.TO, JWEL.TO, AEM.TO, FNV.TO, NEM, K.TO, ABX.TO Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

  Is Canada Miscounting Its Population? Plus the Fed, Rising Yields, and Big Tech Capex 01.08.2026 1sa 13dk

  In this episode of The Canadian Macro Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down the latest Fed decision and why the bond market may be starting to challenge Kevin Warsh’s inflation message. They discuss the split reaction across the yield curve, with short-term yields moving differently than longer-term yields, and what that could mean for inflation, recession risk and future rate hikes. They also look at Canada’s population data problem and why undercounting temporary residents could distort unemployment, mortgage delinquency trends and the broader read on the Canadian economy. From there, they dig into big tech earnings, including Microsoft and Meta, and why investors are paying closer attention to AI capex, free cash flow, depreciation, and credit default swaps across the hyperscalers. They also discuss Anthropic, open-weight AI models, data privacy concerns, tariffs, copper demand, and what the AI infrastructure build-out could mean for energy and markets. Tickers discussed: MSFT, META, GOOG, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, ORCL, AAPL, SKM   Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!
