Additionally, Simon shares recent changes he’s made to his parents' retirement portfolio, including rebalancing their equities and cash as well as adding gold, and Bitcoin allocations.

Signs Markets Might be Peaking and Mixed Results from Canadian Banks

In this episode, Simon and Braden explore the nuanced debate between growth, value, and quality investing. Braden shares his perspective on how these styles overlap and differ, emphasizing the importance of understanding your own "order of operations" when analyzing investment opportunities. Whether you're starting with business quality or valuation first, this discussion will help you refine your approach.

They also dive into a fascinating research piece by Lyn Alden and Sam Callahan, examining Bitcoin's strong correlation with global liquidity. The piece also looks at how global M2 influences equities, and other assets, and why liquidity matters more than you might think for long-term investors.

Finally, Braden walks through recent moves in his portfolio, including trimming winners like TFI International and reallocating capital to Canadian growth stories like Terravest and WSP Global. Simon explains recent adjustments he has made to his strategy, including increasing cash allocation with US treasury bills to balance risk and take advantage of future opportunities.

Year-End Changes We are Making to our Portfolios

In this episode, we start by discussing the Bank of Canada’s final rate announcement of the year. Will it be another 50bps cut, or will they ease up with just 25bps? We break down the economic data driving each case, including GDP contractions, inflation surprises, and the impact on the Canadian dollar.

We also discuss Scotiabank’s fourth-quarter results—what went wrong with their targets, where they’re showing stability, and why provisions and write-offs are key metrics to watch.

Plus, we analyze Intel’s CEO “retirement,” its struggle to regain dominance in chip manufacturing.

Finally, we touch on Goeasy and Affirm Holdings' latest results, exploring what their growth and delinquency data reveal about the health of Canadian and global consumers. 

Tickers of stock discussed: GSY.TO, BNS.TO, AFRM, INTC
