BlackRock Applies for a US Bitcoin ETF

Bond yields are climbing, energy prices are surging, and central banks are being forced to navigate an increasingly complicated inflation picture.

Simon and Dan break down what the bond market may be signaling and why higher long-term yields matter even if the Bank of Canada keeps its policy rate unchanged. They discuss the potential impact on Canadian housing, rental construction and mortgage financing, along with why inflation-adjusted home prices can continue falling even when nominal prices stabilize.

They also look at the sharp increase in diesel prices and refinery margins, what higher transportation costs could eventually mean for consumers, and whether households have enough room left to absorb another round of price increases.

The conversation then turns to monetary policy following the latest Bank of Canada decision and Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, before digging into one of the biggest risks surrounding the AI boom: financing.

With hundreds of billions being poured into AI infrastructure, rising borrowing costs and increasingly interconnected financing arrangements could become a major vulnerability. Simon and Dan discuss what happens if AI companies ultimately generate less revenue than expected, whether hyperscalers could be left with excess capacity, and why enormous technological breakthroughs can still coincide with massive capital destruction for investors.

Stocks/ETFs discussed: NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, ORCL, TSLA, WMT, TGT, HD, LOW, DLTR, L.TO, DOL.TO.

The BoC Is Concerned About Inflation & Bond Yields Hit New Multi-Year Highs

Nvidia (NVDA) delivered another massive quarter, with data center revenue surging and management forecasting extraordinary growth ahead. But as the AI buildout gets larger, Nvidia is also becoming increasingly involved in financing, demand guarantees and other arrangements across the AI ecosystem. Simon and Dan break down why that matters, where the risks are building, and what could happen if some of AI’s biggest customers eventually pull back.

They also wrap up Canadian bank earnings season with a closer look at CIBC (CM.TO), including rising mortgage delinquencies, commercial credit trends and the growing importance of wealth management and capital markets across the Canadian banks.

Salesforce (CRM) delivered a strong quarter as its AI products continue gaining traction, providing another example of why not every software company is being disrupted by AI.

Dollar Tree (DLTR) continues its turnaround, expanding its multi-price strategy and improving store operations as more consumers search for value. Simon and Dan compare its progress with Dollarama (DOL.TO) and discuss why Dollar Tree could potentially offer more upside despite Dollarama remaining the stronger operator.

Finally, Best Buy (BBY) provides an interesting look at consumer spending, with a notable divergence emerging between its U.S. and Canadian businesses.

Nvidia’s AI Boom Gets Bigger, Canadian Banks Hold Up and Dollar Tree’s Turnaround

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we do a deep dive on two companies we haven’t covered much before: Royalty Pharma and AppLovin.

We start with Royalty Pharma, a unique business that finances pharmaceutical and biotech products in exchange for future royalty streams. We break down how the business model works, why it has similarities to precious metals royalty companies like Franco-Nevada, and how investors should think about portfolio receipts, cash flow, milestone payments, drug approval risk, concentration risk and capital allocation.

We then turn to AppLovin, one of the most talked-about stocks in the market. We look at how its AI-powered mobile advertising platform works, why the company generates extremely high margins with minimal capital expenditures, and what makes the business so profitable.

We also discuss the risks facing AppLovin, including slowing growth, competition from Meta, Apple and Alphabet, concerns raised by short sellers, and why the market is having such a hard time valuing the company after a massive run-up and sharp drawdown.

Tickers discussed: RPRX, APP, FNV.TO, WPM.TO, ISRG, META, GOOGL, GOOG, TTD
