Spicy Hot Retirement Takes for Canadians

In this episode, we’re joined by Bipen Rai, Managing Director and Head of ETF and Alternatives Strategy at BMO Global Asset Management.

We discuss the current macro environment, the outlook for interest rates, and how investors should think about portfolio construction as markets move further away from the post-GFC playbook. Bipen shares his perspective on gold and why it continues to play an important role in portfolios, how macro risks are evolving, and what signals investors should be paying attention to as we move forward.

We also touch on the broader investing landscape, risk management, and how investors can think more deliberately about diversification in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Gold, Interest Rates, and the Macro Outlook with Bipen Rai 

Canadian CPI surprised slightly to the downside, but food inflation is still biting, with big moves in staples like beef and coffee. We also break down the shakeup at Lululemon as the CEO steps down, and why investors appear to be welcoming change. On the Canadian side, we dig into Group Dynamite’s eye-popping results and what’s behind the momentum. Finally, we tackle the name that’s been weighing on markets. We wrap with WSP’s latest acquisition and why grid modernization could be one of the more compelling “picks and shovels” angles to the broader AI buildout.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: LULU, ORCL, WSP.TO, GRGD.TO

Why Oracle Is Spooking Markets and a Red-Hot 2024 Canadian IPO

In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we discuss a viral tweet about paying off a low-rate mortgage sparked a familiar debate — invest or kill the mortgage? For Canadians, the answer isn’t nearly as simple. With higher renewal rates, stretched market valuations, and taxes in the mix, the math has quietly shifted.

We break down when investing still makes sense, when paying down a mortgage becomes a compelling risk-free return, and why today’s market environment looks very different from the last decade.

We also dig into where value can still exist in an expensive market — including a deep dive into a Canadian apartment REIT that’s been hit hard despite strong fundamentals. Is this a classic “blood in the streets” setup, or a value trap?
