The 20 Biggest Tech Acquisitions

What separates a good acquisition from a truly company-defining one? In this episode, Simon and Dan look at some of the best acquisitions in Canadian and U.S. market history — the deals that changed business models, unlocked decades of growth, created massive shareholder value, or quietly reshaped entire industries. From convenience stores and railways to software, social media, insurance, and e-commerce infrastructure, they break down why some acquisitions become legendary while others fade into the background.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed:
ATD.TO, SJ.TO, CNR.TO, TRI.TO, AAPL, GOOGL, META, MSFT, BRK.B, DIS, AMZN, NVDA, AMD

The 10 Greatest Acquisitions in Canadian and U.S. Stock Market History

In this episode, Simon and Dan Foch break down the latest Micron earnings and what they reveal about the massive demand for AI infrastructure. We look at why higher DRAM and NAND prices matter beyond semiconductor stocks, how rising memory costs could flow through to consumer products like iPhones, laptops, gaming consoles and data centers, and whether Apple price hikes are an early sign of broader tech inflation.

We also discuss the latest inflation pressures, including the impact of higher oil prices, and what these could mean for central banks and consumers. Plus, we dig into the BC and Government of Canada condo bailout, what it says about the state of the housing market, and whether policymakers are once again stepping in to soften the landing for real estate.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: MU, AAPL, NVDA, AMD, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META

Canada’s Condo Bailout and Apple’s Memory Price Problem

In this episode, Simon and Dan break down Canada’s latest inflation print, with CPI hitting 3.2% in May as gasoline, airfare, and food prices continue to pressure consumers. They also cover earnings from Empire, Air Transat, Couche-Tard, and Stingray, including the competitive pressure in grocery, Air Transat’s fuel and Cuba-related headwinds, Couche-Tard’s rally after a stronger quarter, and Stingray’s surprising growth following its TuneIn acquisition. They finish with a quick look at OSFI lowering the domestic stability buffer for Canadian banks and what it could mean for lending, buybacks, dividends, and the broader economy.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: EMP.A.TO, TRZ.TO, ATD.TO, RAY.A.TO
