What Canadians hold in their TFSA and researching stocks

In this episode, Simon and Dan break down why software stocks continue to struggle despite many companies showing little evidence of major AI disruption so far. They discuss the ongoing valuation reset across SaaS, the shift away from seat-based pricing, and why companies like Salesforce, ServiceNow, Adobe, Constellation Software, and Topicus may need more than solid earnings to regain investor confidence.

They then turn to Bitcoin, looking at why it remains well below its roughly US$125,000 peak. Simon covers the role of ETF outflows, leverage, post-election crypto optimism fading, quantum computing fears, profit-taking, and higher bond yields as potential headwinds.

To wrap up, they highlight stocks on their radar, including Visa and Mastercard as high-quality payment networks facing stablecoin disruption risk, and Waste Connections as a real-economy compounder trading at a more attractive valuation while the market remains focused on AI-related names.

Tickers of stocks discussed: CRM, NOW, ADBE, CSU.TO, TOI.V, V, MA, WCN, WM, RSG, GFL.TO, BTC.

 Are Software Stocks Broken? Plus 3 Stocks on Our Radar

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
