We then look at a recent twitter post from Ben Felix who compared lump sum investing with dollar cost averaging (DCA). We finished the episode by talking about two companies on our radar that we’ve never discussed before on the podcast.

Looking at 2 Impressive Under the Radar Companies

In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, Braden shares his observations from his recent travels across Europe, focusing on the evolving landscape of investment opportunities and the significant shift in credit card adoption in Spain compared to his last visit. He highlights the dramatic increase in credit card acceptance, noting the ease of transactions even with the smallest vendors.

Simon dives into the mechanics of how Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) companies generate revenue and discusses the intriguing findings from a recent New York Federal Reserve study. The study outlines how the adoption of BNPL services varies significantly between financially fragile and financially stable households, shedding light on consumer behavior and financial health.

Wrapping up the episode, they explore the investment philosophy of renowned investor Norbert Lou. They also discuss the breaking news announcement by the US government to potentially reclassify marijuana from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 3 drug, examining the potential ripple effects this major shift could have on Canadian cannabis stocks.

The investor who made 325x their money

Simon and Dan start with a look at the GDP growth in Canada and the US and what it means for interest rates and investors going forward.

They then go over recent earnings from Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Canadian Pacific. Alphabet's surprising dividend announcement and strong revenue growth across its various segments contrast with the challenges posed by current search engine dynamics. Meta's robust revenue growth faces the headwinds of future investment expectations, while Tesla navigates production costs and market demands amidst falling sales prices. Canadian Pacific reports a steady quarter. They finish by touching on 3M's strategic decisions, including a dividend "reset" following a major spinoff and legal settlements, providing a broader perspective on the implications for long-term dividend strategies.
