  • What Canadian Tire’s Earnings Reveal About the Canadian Consumer
    May 22 2025

    In this episode, we break down Canada’s April CPI print, which came in below 2% largely due to the removal of the consumer carbon tax. We explain why this drop is likely temporary and what core inflation measures are still signaling to the Bank of Canada. We also discuss Moody’s long-anticipated downgrade of U.S. government debt, how it compares to past downgrades, and what surging bond yields mean for investors on both sides of the border.

    In company news, Dan shares his take on Boyd Group’s latest results, including why he’s still holding despite near-term headwinds. We also cover Canadian Tire’s earnings, consumer credit data, and what it tells us about the average Canadian household. Finally, we look at South Bow’s first-quarter results post-spinout from TC Energy and assess the sustainability of its high dividend yield.

    Tickers of stocks discussed: CTC-A.TO, BYD.TO, SOBO.TO

  • 5 RRSP Mistakes to Avoid and Investing Biases to Avoid
    May 19 2025

    Following up on our TFSA episode, we dive into 5 of the most common RRSP mistakes we’ve seen Canadians make—from contributing when your tax rate is low to accidentally double-claiming a tax credit. We also shift gears and explore the psychological traps that investors fall into, including the endowment effect, anchoring bias, and the disposition effect. These are the subtle but powerful behaviours that can quietly drag down your investment returns over time.

    To wrap up the episode, Simon revisits his past investment in Allied Properties REIT, why he sold it at a loss, and how the company and office space market have fared since then.
