    Is the US Economy About to Crack? The Evidence Behind the Headline

    Is the American consumer finally hitting a wall? 📉 Watch on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/2M-g-khQctg The the headline news is buzzing about a "massive jobs jump" in the US, but the real story is much more concerning. In this video, I go behind the headlines to look at why the US consumer, who drives 70% of economic output, is starting to blink. I'll break down the latest charts on retail sales (which just flatlined at 0.0%), the surprising January jobs report (+130,000), and the massive 2025 labor revisions that reveal the economy was much weaker last year than we were told. With inflation cooling to 2.4% but monthly pressures still firm, the Federal Reserve is in a tight spot. Are rate cuts coming sooner than expected, or are we stuck in a "high-for-longer" trap? What I'm Covering:🛍️ Retail Sales Stall: Why discretionary spending (furniture, electronics, clothing) is falling off a cliff.💼 The Jobs Rebound vs. Reality: January added 130k jobs, but 2025 growth was slashed from 584k down to just 181k.📈 The Healthcare Lead: Why 60% of new hiring is concentrated in just one sector.📉 Inflation Deep Dive: CPI hits 2.4%, but core monthly prices are still rising by 0.3%.🏦 The Fed's Next Move: Breaking down the 92% odds of a "Hold" at the next meeting.

    TFSA US Withholding Tax: What You've Been Told Is Wrong

    In this episode, I break down the 15% U.S. withholding tax and explain why the “never hold U.S. stocks in a TFSA” rule is often misunderstood. I look at when the warning is valid—and when avoiding U.S. investments can actually hurt long-term results.

    Is the Canadian Rental Crisis Finally Over? (Reality Check)

    🤗 Join over 550,000+ DIY Investors on the Blossom app (FREE) ➤ https://getblossom.onelink.me/SOfu/brandonbeavis  Watch on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/kN_y2GVGOc8 Is the "up-only" era of Canadian rent finally over? For the first time in the post-pandemic cycle, we are seeing asking rents hit negative territory. But the national average hides a much more complex story. In this video, I break down the latest Canadian Rental Report from Rentals.ca. I look at why prices in major hubs like Toronto and Vancouver are finally cooling off, while cities like Edmonton are seeing double-digit spikes. Is this a crash, a correction, or a simple rebalancing? I analyze the data on unit sizes, supply vs. demand, and the impact of recent changes to temporary resident caps. If you are a renter looking for a deal, or a landlord watching the market, this is the reality check you need.
