In this episode, Simon Belanger joins Daniel Foch for a live macro discussion covering some of the biggest stories in Canada and the U.S. They start with Real Brokerage’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX, breaking down the deal structure, why RE/MAX shares are trading below the headline offer price, and what the market may be signalling about dilution and the real estate industry.
They also discuss Canada’s new Canada Strong Fund, whether it really qualifies as a sovereign wealth fund, and the risks of governments trying to balance commercial returns with politically strategic investments. The conversation touches on government-backed investments in strategic industries, comparisons with U.S. policy under Trump, and the challenge of measuring success when national interest and market returns may eventually conflict.
The episode wraps up with a look at the latest Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve decisions, the risk of sticky inflation from higher energy prices, the possibility of stagflation, and why both central banks may be stuck in wait-and-see mode until the data gives them a clearer path forward.
Tickers of Stocks Discussed: RMAX, REAX, INTC, MP, LAC, TMQ, X, BAM, SPY, XIU

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we share some of our biggest investing mistakes: stocks we owned, sold too early, and watched soar afterward. From Apple Inc. to Alphabet Inc., Shopify Inc., Brookfield Corporation and more, we break down why we sold, what we learned, and how those experiences shaped our investing philosophy today.
We also discuss the emotional side of investing, why patience matters, and how short-term thinking can destroy long-term returns. Plus, we react to Lululemon Athletica Inc. hiring a former Nike, Inc. executive as CEO and whether the selloff could create an opportunity for investors.
If you’ve ever sold a stock too soon, this episode is for you.

In this news and earnings episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Canada’s latest CPI report as inflation reaccelerates, with rising gasoline, food, rent, and insurance costs putting pressure on households.

Next, we analyze Adobe’s massive $25 billion buyback announcement. Is management signaling the stock is deeply undervalued, or trying to put a floor under shares as AI disruption fears intensify?
Finally, we discuss QXO’s $17 billion acquisition of TopBuild and why traditional industrial businesses may be attractive in the AI era, plus TSMC’s incredible growth as demand for chips and AI infrastructure keeps surging.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest data on Canadian household wealth and what it reveals about the growing divide between those benefiting from rising asset prices and those falling behind. We discuss household debt levels, savings rates, real estate stagnation, and why many Canadians may be feeling more financial pressure than headline numbers suggest.
We also dive into BMO’s annual retirement survey, where Canadians now believe they need $1.7 million to retire. We unpack why these figures can be misleading, how retirement needs vary dramatically across provinces, and the key factors that actually determine how much you’ll need to stop working.
Finally, we discuss Wealthsimple’s new partnership with X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to trade stocks directly through the platform. We explore what this means for retail investors, the gamification of investing, and whether making stock trading easier is ultimately helping—or hurting—long-term investors.
Tickers of stocks discussed: RY, NA, TSLA

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we welcome back Bipan Rai from BMO ETFs to break down one of the biggest macro stories of the year: the oil shock triggered by the Iran conflict and what it could mean for inflation, central banks, and investors.
We discuss why this environment may look very different from 2022, whether the Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve are likely to stay on hold, and why markets may be underestimating downside risks to economic growth. We also cover why gold has struggled despite geopolitical turmoil, rising bond yields, and the surge in the US dollar.
Finally, we dive into private credit stress, whether contagion risks are overblown, and where Bipin sees opportunities today—including commodities, diversification, and equal-weight strategies.

In this episode, we break down the market’s reaction to the announced ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and what it means for investors. With oil prices pulling back sharply and equities rallying, we discuss why this remains a highly headline-driven market—and why having a clear portfolio strategy matters more than ever.
We then shift to earnings, starting with a strong turnaround quarter from BRP, where inventory normalization and improved margins are driving a sharp recovery. We also revisit Boyd Group, a long-term compounder facing short-term pressure from insurance trends and used vehicle dynamics.
Finally, we dive into the latest Canadian ETF flows to understand where investors are allocating capital today, including the rise in Canadian equities, the decline in crypto exposure, and the continued growth of more complex ETF products.

Before diving into the stocks, we discuss major breaking news in AI and private markets, including reports of a potential SpaceX IPO and OpenAI’s massive new funding round at an eye-popping valuation.

Simon looks at Siemens Energy, a global player benefiting from rising demand for power infrastructure, while navigating challenges in its wind segment. Dan rounds things out with Dollarama, exploring whether recent weakness is a temporary blip or a longer-term shift in consumer behavior.
We also discuss broader themes including AI commoditization, capital allocation, energy demand, and how changing consumer habits could permanently impact retail.
Tickers of stocks discussed: QXO, Siemens Energy (SMERY / ENR), Dollarama (DOL.TO)
