Following up on our TFSA episode, we dive into 5 of the most common RRSP mistakes we’ve seen Canadians make—from contributing when your tax rate is low to accidentally double-claiming a tax credit.

These are the subtle but powerful behaviours that can quietly drag down your investment returns over time.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down a whirlwind week of headlines that continue to move markets. We start with the latest from the Trump administration, where the president announced plans to reduce the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods—though no specifics were given and he made it clear the rate won’t be going to zero. Markets also reacted sharply to speculation that Trump might replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, only for him to later walk back those comments, stating Powell would remain in his role until the end of his term. We then dive into Tesla’s earnings, where the company posted a 9% year-over-year revenue decline and a 40% drop in EPS, with falling deliveries and razor-thin margins putting pressure on the stock—despite a surprising post-earnings rally. We also cover American Express, which delivered solid numbers driven by younger cardholders, and remains resilient thanks to its premium card base and growing fee revenue. Over at BlackRock, inflows hit $84 billion for the quarter. Finally, we take a look at West Fraser Timber’s results amid increasing trade uncertainty, highlighting the company’s strong balance sheet and the challenges ahead for Canadian wood product exporters.

We kick off this episode with a deep dive into the latest U.S. tariff announcements.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down a chaotic week in the markets dominated by volatility, misinformation, and tariff uncertainty. We start with a bizarre moment on Truth Social where former President Trump shared a video falsely claiming Warren Buffett endorsed his tariff policies—a claim quickly debunked by Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway. We then turn to the wild swings in the U.S. markets, including a dramatic intraday reversal driven by conflicting rumors around tariff delays. On the earnings front, we look at two American companies that reported earnings after liberation day and how the tariffs may impact their businesses. We also discuss how Dollarama continues to outperform expectations, showing strong growth and resilience in a challenging environment. We wrap up with a discussion on how earnings revisions and valuation multiples could create a “double whammy” for investors, with lower earnings and lower investor confidence both weighing on equity markets.

In this episode, we discuss the “reciprocal” tariffs announced by President Trump. The tariffs were far greater than expected which led to the major north american indices shedding 10% and in some instances more in just 2 days. We go over the methodology behind the new tariff regime and how Canada and Mexico were exempt, and the immediate impact on global markets. We walk through the selloff in equities, rising credit spreads, and the companies most affected—particularly those dependent on global manufacturing like Apple, Nike, and Lululemon. We also explore the broader implications of this abrupt shift in trade policy: the risk of escalating retaliation, the potential for a global recession, and how investors can think about navigating uncertainty. Finally, we discuss the importance of discipline during volatile markets and why a systematic approach to investing may be more valuable than ever.

The trade war between Canada and the U.S. is evolving fast, and its impact on investors is undeniable. In this episode, we break down the latest developments, including the U.S. granting automakers a temporary exemption and potential carve-outs for agricultural products. Simon shares his critical take on the Canadian government’s counter-tariffs and why they could hit the most vulnerable Canadians hardest. We also discuss the broader market implications—how uncertainty leads to hesitation in home purchases, business investments, and overall economic activity. But where there’s uncertainty, there’s opportunity. We look at TFII and BRP, two beaten-down stocks that might be worth watching, and highlight five Canadian stocks that should see little impact from tariffs on their businesses. Finally, we shift gears to the state of retail investing, looking at how the rise of DIY investors post-2020 has shaped risk-taking behavior.
