In this episode we talk about irrational optimism and why it's a common characteristic of great founders and investors. 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 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.

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

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down another busy week of market news and earnings.

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.

Tickers discussed: MRNA, MRK, CTC.A.TO, HD, LOW, CSU.TO, AC.TO, CRWV, KLAR, AAPL

Moderna’s Stock Soars and Will CoreWeave’s AI Bet Work?

In this special episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan make their boldest calls yet for the rest of 2026.

With only a few months left in the year, they discuss the trends, companies, and market shifts they believe could surprise investors — from potential winners and losers to unexpected moves that could reshape portfolios.

Some predictions may sound unlikely, but that’s the point. Being bold means accepting that some calls will be wrong, while others could look obvious in hindsight.

Tune in and let us know which predictions you think will happen — and which ones are completely off the mark.

Tickers discussed: CSU.TO, AEM.TO, BYD.TO, GOOS.TO, BRK.B, XEG.TO, XLE, ZEB.TO, HEB.TO, CNQ.TO, CNR.TO, RY.TO, NA.TO, LVMH.PA.
