10 Stocks to Watch for 2022

In this episode, Simon and Daniel break down the sudden surge in bond yields and what it could be signaling about inflation, interest rates, and consumer stress.

They start by looking at the latest Canadian CPI data and why inflation may not be fully reflecting the impact of higher fuel prices yet. Simon highlights key takeaways from Walmart, Lowe’s, and Home Depot earnings, including rising transportation costs, weaker DIY demand, and signs that lower-income consumers are becoming increasingly stretched.

The discussion then shifts to the bond market, including the sharp rise in U.S. 2-year, 10-year, and 30-year yields, changing Fed rate expectations, and why markets may be pricing in more persistent inflation risk. Simon and Daniel also touch on Japanese government bond yields, the yen carry trade, and why a disorderly unwind could matter for global markets.

They wrap up by connecting higher bond yields to the Canadian housing market, mortgage renewals, variable-rate risk, and the growing financial pressure facing homeowners as higher mortgage payments collide with rising food and fuel costs.

Bond Yields, Inflation Pressures and the Consumer Squeeze

In this episode, Simon and Dan cover a wide mix of macro updates, Canadian corporate earnings, and AI-related investment themes.

They start by discussing the latest Canadian inflation data, where headline CPI surprisingly slowed despite a volatile energy environment. The hosts also weigh the broader macroeconomic impact of surging bond yields—highlighting the climb in both U.S. and Canadian yields—and explain how these moves directly pressure household disposable income via upcoming fixed-rate mortgage renewals.

The conversation then shifts to corporate earnings, starting with Constellation Software's strong quarter, record M&A spending, and whether AI poses a structural threat to the software sector. They also touch on Atkins Réalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin), reviewing its massive nuclear opportunities, unique Candu technology moat, and a new partnership with Nvidia to develop nuclear-powered AI factories.

They wrap up by analyzing Canadian Tire's sluggish retail top-line growth, exploring a large sequential decline in Sport Chek store locations and elevated credit card delinquencies that signal a stretched consumer. Finally, the hosts highlight key industrial earnings from Applied Materials and Finning International, which are both capitalizing on the massive infrastructure and data center build-outs fueling the global AI boom.

Tickers of stocks discussed: CSU.TO, ATRL.TO, WSP.TO, CTC-A.TO, DOL, AMAT, ASML, FTT, TIH

Constellation Software, a Hidden Canadian AI Stock, and a Nuclear Energy Play

In this episode, Simon and Dan answer listener questions covering Canada’s new sovereign wealth fund, speculative space ETFs, real economy stocks, and how younger investors can get started.

They start by discussing where the new Canada Strong Fund could potentially invest, including critical minerals, uranium, energy infrastructure, pipelines, and companies tied to national sovereignty. They also look at why a West-to-East pipeline could become a much bigger political and economic issue as Canada thinks more seriously about energy security.

The conversation then shifts to the new Canadian-listed space ETF, the risks of niche thematic funds, and why space investing remains a high-risk, high-reward area. Simon and Dan also compare the recent strength in technology and semiconductor stocks with more traditional “real economy” companies like railways, waste collection, infrastructure, and industrial businesses.

They wrap up by discussing some of the most surprising Canadian stock performers of 2026, including Aritzia and Bombardier, before answering a listener question on how young Canadians can start investing using accounts like the FHSA and TFSA, as well as broad-based ETF options.

Tickers of stocks discussed: CCO, NMG, TECK, MDA, SOBO, ENB, TRP, ORBX, RKLB, PL, ASTS, TOY, CLS, CP, WCN, QQQ, SPY, DIA, RSP, L, BDGI, BRK.B, ATZ, LULU, NKE, BBD.B, ZEQT, XEQT, VEQT, FGRO, FEQT, XIU
