An Intriguing Canadian Small Cap Stock and The Power of Simple Investing Ideas
In this episode, Simon takes a different approach by using a stock screener to uncover a Canadian small-cap company he had never heard of—Calian Group (CGY). He breaks down the company’s diverse business lines, financials, and key questions he’s looking to answer about its long-term potential. The episode then shifts to the timeless investing lesson of simplicity vs. complexity. Braden discusses why experienced investors often come full circle—starting with simple ideas, getting lost in complexity, and eventually realizing that the best long-term winners are the ones they truly understand. He shares personal examples, including his "stop being an idiot" moment that led him to quadruple down on Constellation Software (CSU), his best investment to date.

Should You Invest for Dividend Income or Maximize Total Returns?
Following Dan’s debate with Kanwal from Simply Investing, Simon and Dan dive into one of the biggest debates in investing—dividend income vs. total return. They break down the pros and cons of each strategy, discussing capital retention, income predictability, sequence of return risk, and sector concentration. Is relying solely on dividends a sustainable retirement strategy, or does a diversified total return approach offer better long-term outcomes? They also share their own experiences, including how Simon structured his parents' portfolio.
