In this episode, Simon breaks down a type of risk that often flies under the radar for everyday investors—counterparty risk. Whether you're dealing with a brokerage, bank, crypto exchange, or even a gold custodian, you're exposed to the risk that the other party might not hold up their end of the deal.
Plus, we touch on lessons from great investors like Bill Nygren and Stan Druckenmiller—including the importance of maintaining conviction in your investment thesis and having the humility to change your mind.
We wrap up with a look at current retail investor allocations and whether markets have become a bit too complacent after a strong year for equities.

In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we talk about Canada’s February CPI print that came in much hotter than expected at 2.6% year over year. We also discuss the Bank of Canada’s latest rate cut and how rising inflation will likely make their next interest rate decision even more difficult.
We also dive into Google’s massive $32B acquisition of Wiz, the fastest-growing software company in history, and whether the deal will pass regulatory hurdles. Plus, we analyze earnings from Adobe, Vail Resorts, and Bird Construction, including why Adobe's AI investments aren’t exciting investors and whether Bird's recent stock dip presents an opportunity.

Markets hate uncertainty, and it’s showing. We break down the recent volatility, from the steep drawdowns in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 to the tariff-fueled market jitters. We also discuss why knowing what you own and being diversified is so important when markets are volatile.
We also talk about how the recent volatility is creating opportunities for investors with capital to deploy. We highlight stocks on our radar, including TFII, CP, Nvidia, American Express, Costco, and Amazon, and discuss what makes them interesting at these levels. Plus, why sometimes market moves have a clear reason—like tariffs or earnings surprises—and sometimes, why the reason is not as obvious.

In this episode, we talk about recent market volatility with the NASDAQ dropping 4% in one day, marking its largest single-day decline since 2022. We unpack what's driving this volatility, including uncertainty surrounding tariffs, Trump's ambiguous comments on recession risks, and the unraveling of the Yen carry trade. Big tech companies are feeling the pinch, with Tesla down 46% year-to-date.
We also discuss the U.S. government announcement of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and what it could mean going forward. We finish by discussing the recent earnings from Costco's and Franco-Nevada.

The trade war between Canada and the U.S. is evolving fast, and its impact on investors is undeniable. In this episode, we break down the latest developments, including the U.S. granting automakers a temporary exemption and potential carve-outs for agricultural products. Simon shares his critical take on the Canadian government’s counter-tariffs and why they could hit the most vulnerable Canadians hardest.
We also discuss the broader market implications—how uncertainty leads to hesitation in home purchases, business investments, and overall economic activity. But where there’s uncertainty, there’s opportunity. We look at TFII and BRP, two beaten-down stocks that might be worth watching, and highlight five Canadian stocks that should see little impact from tariffs on their businesses.
Finally, we shift gears to the state of retail investing, looking at how the rise of DIY investors post-2020 has shaped risk-taking behavior. Are retail investors making smarter moves, or are we heading toward more speculation with the rise of event contracts and private equity products?

The tariffs are officially here. As of March 4th, U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods have gone into effect, and Canada has responded with a massive $155 billion counter-tariff package. We break down what’s getting hit, Trudeau’s potential non-tariff measures, and the broader economic implications.
Then, we shift to Canadian bank earnings. TD, RBC, National Bank, and CIBC all reported, giving us a snapshot of how the financial sector is holding up amid rising provisions and economic uncertainty. We analyze key metrics, what CEOs are saying about the economy, and why mortgage delinquency rates are starting to creep up.

In this episode, we dive into Paul Graham’s essay on how wealth creation has evolved over the past few decades. We explore why inherited wealth is on the decline, what industries are driving the newest fortunes, and how compounding still remains a powerful path to wealth.
Then, Simon gives his key takeaways from Warren Buffett’s latest letter to shareholders. Including why Buffett prefers to invest in companies rather than to hold bonds, his concerns about the currency and how the underlying businesses that Berkshire owns have been doing.
