2021 Investing Year in Review

Simon and Dan kick off with a quick update on the Canadian Investor Podcast’s first YouTube Live (March 3rd at noon ET).

Then it’s straight into the GoEasy saga: Q4 earnings get pushed right up near the regulatory deadline, adding to a growing list of red flags around leadership turnover and loan-book quality. Simon and Dan explain why, like poker, you can’t cherry-pick the information you like.

Next, Canadian Tire shows momentum: improving comps, margin expansion, and buybacks doing the heavy lifting—plus a look at rising credit-card write-offs and how the company is using AI to sharpen promos and inventory.

They also dig into Blue Owl as private credit stress goes mainstream—redemptions, asset sales, and “par value” optics in a mark-to-model world. Finally, Home Depot remains stuck in a slow renovation cycle, leaning harder into the pro/distribution channel through acquisitions as higher rates weigh on demand.

Tickers discussed: GSY, CTC.A, OWL, BAM, BN, HD, BRK.B

Private Credit Cracks, Canadian Tire’s Turnaround & GoEasy Delays Earnings

Simon and Dan take a break from the usual AI doom talk to focus on the other side of the trade: industries AI is unlikely to disrupt—and may actually strengthen. They discuss why parts of the “real economy” (natural resources, waste collection, skilled trades, and critical infrastructure work) have durable moats tied to physical assets, regulation, and human accountability.

In Stocks on Our Radar, Dan revisits Shopify after a sharp drawdown and explains why AI could be a tailwind through payments and backend infrastructure, even if storefront tools get commoditized. Simon breaks down why he started a position in WSP Global, pointing to its backlog, acquisition strategy, and long runway from grid buildouts and electrification tied to AI-driven energy demand.

Tickers discussed: SHOP, WSP.TO, ACM, PWR, BDGI.TO, ARE.TO

4 Industries AI Can’t Replace and Stocks on Our Radar

Simon and Dan are back with another earnings-driven episode — this time focused entirely on Canadian companies.

They dig into a fresh batch of results across insurance, commodities, transportation, and airlines, discussing what’s actually driving performance beneath the headlines, why some stocks are pulling back despite strong fundamentals, and how different business models are holding up in a slowing economy.

The conversation touches on operating leverage, cash flow trends, balance sheet strength, cyclical pressures, and how today’s environment is reshaping investor sentiment — including where AI could become a tailwind versus a real threat. They also explore why more “real-world” businesses may be starting to look attractive again after years of being overlooked.

Expect a mix of earnings analysis, macro context, capital allocation discussion, and a few candid rants along the way.

Tickers discussed: IFC.TO, AEM.TO, TFII.TO, AC.TO
