In this episode, we break down one of the strangest acquisition stories in recent memory: GameStop’s proposed bid for eBay and the unanswered questions around how the deal would actually be financed.

We also look at Shopify’s earnings, where the headline numbers looked strong but the stock sold off sharply as investors focused on guidance, valuation, and whether AI will be a tailwind or a threat. From there, we discuss Alphabet’s monster quarter, including explosive growth in Google Cloud, soaring backlog, and why the company’s AI infrastructure spending is starting to show up in the numbers.

We then turn to Canadian markets with updates on Suncor, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, and Toromont. Suncor is benefiting from higher oil prices and record production, CPKC is showing operating improvements despite a softer macro backdrop, and Toromont delivered a standout quarter helped by unexpected AI-related demand through its AVL acquisition.

Tickers of stocks discussed: GME, EBAY, SHOP, GOOG, GOOGL, SU.TO, CP.TO, CNR.TO, TIH.TO

 GameStop’s Wild eBay Bid, Shopify’s AI Question, and Google’s Monster Quarter

In this episode, Simon and Daniel Foch break down the latest Canadian employment numbers, including rising unemployment, pressure on youth employment, and the growing divide between full-time and part-time work.

They also discuss what Canada’s spring economic update could mean for housing, infrastructure, critical minerals, energy, and the federal government’s push to speed up major project approvals. Simon and Daniel look at whether Canada could be better positioned than many investors think in a world of geopolitical uncertainty, energy shocks, and shifting global supply chains.

They also touch on the Bank of Canada’s latest monetary policy outlook, the impact of higher oil prices, why railways could benefit from elevated fuel costs, and what Berkshire Hathaway’s massive cash position says about patience, liquidity, and investing in uncertain markets.

Tickers of stocks discussed: BRK.B, SHEL, ARX, CNR, CP, TSLA, NVDA

Carney’s Big Pivot: Jobs, Energy, Housing & Major Projects

In this episode, Simon and Dan break down 10 common mistakes Canadian investors make, from treating the TFSA like a basic savings account to overconcentrating in Canadian stocks and real estate. They discuss why home-country bias can quietly increase portfolio risk, when CDRs and Canadian-listed U.S. ETFs may or may not make sense, and how withholding taxes, currency conversion, and account type can affect returns.

They also dig into the psychology of chasing yield, the danger of focusing too much on dividends instead of total returns, and why high-fee funds should be judged on performance net of fees rather than fees alone. The episode wraps with a look at analyst price targets, investor pitch decks, and why relying too heavily on management presentations can lead investors to miss major red flags.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: V, RY, AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, SHOP, CLS, CSU, FTS, VFV, VOO, BCE, MSTR, MSTY, ZLB, XIC, GSY, LSPD, WEED, CM.

10 Costly Mistakes Canadian Investors Make

In this episode, Simon Belanger joins Daniel Foch for a live macro discussion covering some of the biggest stories in Canada and the U.S. They start with Real Brokerage’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX, breaking down the deal structure, why RE/MAX shares are trading below the headline offer price, and what the market may be signalling about dilution and the real estate industry.

They also discuss Canada’s new Canada Strong Fund, whether it really qualifies as a sovereign wealth fund, and the risks of governments trying to balance commercial returns with politically strategic investments. The conversation touches on government-backed investments in strategic industries, comparisons with U.S. policy under Trump, and the challenge of measuring success when national interest and market returns may eventually conflict.

The episode wraps up with a look at the latest Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve decisions, the risk of sticky inflation from higher energy prices, the possibility of stagflation, and why both central banks may be stuck in wait-and-see mode until the data gives them a clearer path forward.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: RMAX, REAX, INTC, MP, LAC, TMQ, X, BAM, SPY, XIU
