    Why Buffett’s Cash Pile Is Growing and Bitcoin’s Post-Election Surge

    In this packed episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we start by discussing Bitcoin's impressive rally following the U.S. presidential election. We explore how a less hostile regulatory environment could impact the crypto industry and debate why some portfolio exposure to Bitcoin might make sense in today’s macroeconomic environment.   Switching gears, we tackle the ongoing debate about whether the stock market is overvalued, comparing the top 20 U.S. companies today to 20 years ago. We unpack how today’s high-margin, high-growth companies differ from the commodity-heavy, low-growth businesses of the past and why a blanket “stocks are overvalued” statement might overlook crucial nuances like revenue growth and operating margins.  Finally, we analyze Berkshire Hathaway’s ballooning cash reserves, Warren Buffett’s aggressive selling of equities, and the implications of the Buffett Indicator hitting historically high levels.   Tickers of stock discussed: BRK-B, AAPL, NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, 2222, META, 2330, LLY, AVGO, TSLA, WMT, JPM, V, XOM, UNH, NOVO.B, 700, ORCL Beam Radiology Website Beam Radiology - Consultation Request Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Canadian Investor Podcast Network Twitter: @cdn_investing Simon’s twitter: @Fiat_Iceberg Braden’s twitter: @BradoCapital Dan’s Twitter: @stocktrades_ca Want to learn more about Real Estate Investing?

    Why Tech Giants Are Betting Big on Nuclear Power

    In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast we explore EY’s resignation as the Super Micro’s auditor. Why explain why this raises major concerns, especially when combined with a DOJ investigation and Hindenburg’s short report alleging accounting irregularities. Simon gives a breakdown of Super Micro’s impressive AI-fueled stock performance, followed by a stark analysis of the serious red flags that emerged. We’ll discuss why this situation should make investors very cautious and the broader implications of such red flags. Next, Braden taps into his chemical engineering background to demystify nuclear power and explain why the technology is key for human kind’s ever growing energy needs. With tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google betting on nuclear to meet massive AI-driven energy demands, we break down how nuclear reactors work, Canada’s leading role in nuclear innovation, and the emerging potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Are SMRs the future of clean energy, or are they still too costly and slow to deploy?

    Bank of Canada Cuts and the Case for Gold Miners

    In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we start by discussing the 50 bps rate cut by the Bank of Canada last week. We go over our key takeaways from the press conference. Simon and Dan also discuss the implications of the BoC rate cut, rising bond yields and pressures on the Canadian dollar.  In the earnings roundup, we examine Rogers Communications, where flat revenues and shrinking ARPUs reflect mounting competition, despite modest wireless growth. With high debt levels from recent acquisitions, Rogers faces challenges managing capital, but solid free cash flow keeps its dividend payout sustainable. We then turn to Newmont and go over why the stock went down 15% after its most recent earnings release. We finish with Canadian National Railway’s quarter, with revenue growth driven by long-haul grain exports, though struggles in petroleum, auto shipments, and lumber reflect broader economic headwinds.  Tickers of stocks discussed: UBIL-U.TO, CBIL.TO, CNR.TO, NGT.TO, RCI-B.TO Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Canadian Investor Podcast Network Twitter: @cdn_investing Simon’s twitter: @Fiat_Iceberg Braden’s twitter: @BradoCapital Dan’s Twitter: @stocktrades_ca Want to learn more about Real Estate Investing?
