In this episode of the Canadian Investor podcast, Simon and Dan take a look back at how markets have performed so far this year from the S&P 500’s strong double-digit gains to gold’s massive rally and the surprising outperformance of the TSX. They break down what’s been driving returns in both Canada and the U.S., why certain sectors are leading, and how rare multi-year double-digit runs really are. The discussion then shifts to AMD’s landmark deal with OpenAI and what it signals about the AI arms race, before diving into Constellation Software’s latest conference call, leadership transition, and evolving view on capital deployment. The episode wraps up with a thoughtful conversation on economic moats how they’re built, how AI may erode them, and why management ultimately determines how durable they are.
Tickers of stocks discussed: SPY, ZSP, ZCN, BTC, GLD, AMD, NVDA, CSU.TO, ADBE, CNR.TO, CP.TO
