    7 Stocks We Sold Too Early… And Still Regret

    2026-04-27 | 43 mins.
    In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we share some of our biggest investing mistakes: stocks we owned, sold too early, and watched soar afterward. From Apple Inc. to Alphabet Inc., Shopify Inc., Brookfield Corporation and more, we break down why we sold, what we learned, and how those experiences shaped our investing philosophy today.
    We also discuss the emotional side of investing, why patience matters, and how short-term thinking can destroy long-term returns. Plus, we react to Lululemon Athletica Inc. hiring a former Nike, Inc. executive as CEO and whether the selloff could create an opportunity for investors.
    If you’ve ever sold a stock too soon, this episode is for you.

    2026-04-23 | 45 mins.
    In this news and earnings episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Canada’s latest CPI report as inflation reaccelerates, with rising gasoline, food, rent, and insurance costs putting pressure on households.

    Next, we analyze Adobe’s massive $25 billion buyback announcement. Is management signaling the stock is deeply undervalued, or trying to put a floor under shares as AI disruption fears intensify?
    Finally, we discuss QXO’s $17 billion acquisition of TopBuild and why traditional industrial businesses may be attractive in the AI era, plus TSMC’s incredible growth as demand for chips and AI infrastructure keeps surging.

    Do Canadians Really Need $1.7 Million to Retire? + The Gamification of Investing

    2026-04-20 | 46 mins.
    In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest data on Canadian household wealth and what it reveals about the growing divide between those benefiting from rising asset prices and those falling behind. We discuss household debt levels, savings rates, real estate stagnation, and why many Canadians may be feeling more financial pressure than headline numbers suggest.
    We also dive into BMO’s annual retirement survey, where Canadians now believe they need $1.7 million to retire. We unpack why these figures can be misleading, how retirement needs vary dramatically across provinces, and the key factors that actually determine how much you’ll need to stop working.
    Finally, we discuss Wealthsimple’s new partnership with X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to trade stocks directly through the platform. We explore what this means for retail investors, the gamification of investing, and whether making stock trading easier is ultimately helping—or hurting—long-term investors.
    Tickers of stocks discussed: RY, NA, TSLA
