News over the weekend that the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace agreement make Kevin Warsh's job "a lot easier" on moving interest rates, says Ted Thacther. He explains how the deal eases inflation fears as stocks move higher into the start of Monday's trading session. Ted also likes Nvidia (NVDA) as forward P/E hovers near a 10-year low. Microsoft (MSFT) is another Mag 7 name he sees having substantial upside after getting beaten down in the SaaS-pocalypse. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode, we break down a packed week of macro, market and stock-specific news. We start with the Bank of Canada holding rates at 2.25% as inflation pressures remain sticky, then look at the latest U.S. CPI print and why markets are still worried about inflation staying higher for longer. We also discuss the insider tipping allegations surrounding TerraVest and why governance risk can matter, even when the underlying business remains strong. From there, we move to the IPO market, including OpenAI reportedly filing confidentially for an IPO, the latest on SpaceX’s expected public listing, and Wealthsimple’s new IPO access feature for retail investors. Finally, we look at Lululemon’s tough quarter, weak Americas sales, margin pressure, lowered guidance, and whether the company is starting to look more like a turnaround story than a premium compounder.

Stocks were up, oil was down, yields were down, and the VIX was down after Trump said tonight's bombing of Iran was cancelled and that Tehran had approved a draft agreement that would extend ceasefire. Big tech was mostly better though MSFT was a drag.
Windows Central's Daniel Rubino discusses major takeaways from Apple's (AAPL) WWDC 2026 event and expectations for the new Siri capabilities. He says Wall Street is being slightly disingenuous with Apple's earnings; however, it's not the killer moment people are expecting either. Daniel adds that companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) are likely already working on similar updates.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Dryden Pence turns his focus to the hyperscalers and their ability to drive profits as the AI trade evolves. In Alphabet (GOOGL), Dryden says he likes to see its investment "toward the future" that will capture "dominant" pieces of the market. Meta Platforms (META) shares continue to move below $600 as it expands AI capabilities, with Dryden saying the Mag 7 company is "behind" on developments. He adds that Microsoft (MSFT) is tied so closely to so many businesses that its growth is "embedded."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

He favors buying mega-cap names like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Broadcom (AVGO), citing attractive valuations and strong liquidity.

Nine days of gains. Then this. All four indices are in the red and Microsoft is lagging on top of that down today without having participated much in the rally either. That setup is exactly what this trade looks for. IV rank on MSFT is at 58, which is high for this name. The trade: buy the 405 put, sell two 395 puts in the July cycle with 44 days to go. That gets filled for a $3.30 credit, an 82% probability of profit, and a break-even at $382, a level that would represent all-time lows on the chart. Max profit sits at $1,340 on $5,600 of buying power. The real goal is a couple hundred dollars in the next week or two.
Software companies are in the best position to benefit from AI expansion, says Ryan Kelly. He lists Microsoft (MSFT) and Salesforce (CRM) as two companies to add some of that AI muscle. In the hardware space, he considers TSMC (TSM) an "absolute essential" part of the supply chain and sees Micron (MU) having much more room to run after a 1,000% year-over-year rally. Ryan believes Nucor (NUE) will benefit inside and outside of the AI trade and Rolls-Royce (RYCEY) as a strong international company. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Despite Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and CrowdStrike (CRWD) having valuations that continue to expand, Phil Palumbo doesn't see an issue as long as the outlook for cybersecurity stays strong. If a correction takes shape, Phil calls it a buying opportunity. He considers Microsoft's (MSFT) enterprise tech reach as a strong Mag 7 opportunity, while listing Uber Technologies (UBER) as a cheap tech stock. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In this episode, we break down the latest CPP Investments annual report and why comparing CPP’s returns directly to the S&P 500 or TSX misses the mark. We discuss CPP’s 7.8% fiscal-year return, its heavy exposure to private equity, real assets and credit, and whether the high fees and complexity are justified over the long run. We also look at five Canadian stocks that could fit a “buy it, lock it away, and don’t touch it for 10 years” mindset. From railways and waste collection to royalty companies, grocers, and energy producers, we discuss which businesses may have the durability, moats, and cash flow profiles to survive and compound through different market environments.

SUMMARY DEL SHOW Futuros ligeramente al alza para abrir junio, con tech sosteniendo el tono, pero con el crudo todavía elevado y el conflicto EE. UU. Irán manteniendo al mercado sensible. Hoy el foco es ISM Manufacturero y, sobre todo, precios pagados. $NVDA amplía su ofensiva fuera del data center con el RTX Spark y el procesador N1X junto a $MSFT y arquitectura $ARM.

In this episode, Simon, Braden, and Daniel break down the AI boom from multiple angles: whether today’s market resembles the dot-com bubble, why demand for compute, electricity, and data keeps accelerating, and where the biggest bottlenecks are starting to appear. They also discuss how AI could reshape the job market, why companies may eventually need to “right-size” their AI usage, and whether cheaper models could become a major theme in the years ahead. The conversation then shifts to Canada’s economic challenges, including weak GDP growth, poor consumer sentiment, declining incentives for entrepreneurs, and why Canada risks losing more talent and high-growth companies to the U.S. Tickers of stocks discussed: NVDA, TSM, MU, MSFT, META, GOOGL, AMZN, ORCL, PWR, RBNK, SHOP Watch the full video on Our New Youtube Channel!

In this episode, Simon and Daniel break down the growing macro risks facing Canada and the U.S., starting with the recent oil shock and what it could mean for inflation, consumer spending, and central bank policy. They discuss why Canada’s energy infrastructure is back in focus, including potential federal support for a new Alberta-to-West Coast pipeline, the bigger debate around a West-to-East pipeline, and why energy security could become a much larger political and economic issue. They also look at the latest U.S. CPI and PPI data, the relationship between producer prices and future inflation, and how central banks may respond if higher energy prices start flowing through the economy. The conversation then shifts to the sharp rally in semiconductor stocks, massive AI-related capex from the mega-cap tech companies, and whether markets are starting to show signs of excess. The episode wraps up with a discussion on privatizing Canadian infrastructure assets like airports and ports, rising U.S. Treasury yields, Canadian consumer debt, and why the current economy feels increasingly K-shaped.

A direct “black” to “white” transferAny company that launched a race-specific grant or loan program after 2020 is now officially in the DOJ's crosshairs, and "social justice" is being litigated as "civil rights fraud."PayPal board:“Independent” chair David W. Dorman (2015-; 17%)member of the Dell Technologies BoardMichael Dell and Donald Trump are BFFs: Dell pledged $6.25B to Trump AccountsJonathan Christodoro (2015-; 13%): a disciple of billionaire Carl Icahn (former Managing Director at Icahn Capital), one of Trump's oldest and most vocal alliesFounder PayPal Mafia Trump BFFs: Musk (DOGE), David Sacks (AI and Crypto Czar), Peter Thiel (JD Vance creator)Frank Yeary (2015-; 12%): Intel director since 2009 and chair since 2023It Was One of DOGE's Most Absurd Abuses. A Court Finally Exposed ItThis whole saga centers on a major legal showdown between the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The case is a consolidated lawsuit (often called the NEH-DOGE lawsuit) filed in May 2025 by groups including the Authors Guild, the American Historical Association, and the Modern Language Association. On May 7, 2026, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon issued a massive 143-page ruling. She essentially nuked DOGE's attempt to defund hundreds of humanities projects, calling their process a "textbook example of unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination."The AI Purge: Instead of a professional review, DOGE staffers (described in court as young "technologists" with no background in humanities) ran thousands of grant descriptions through ChatGPT.DOGE staffers—mostly described as 20-somethings with "zero experience in the humanities"—attempted to dodge government transparency laws by conducting official business on Signal with auto-delete enabled. The court found this was a blatant violation of the Federal Records Act, proving that "efficiency" is often just code for "avoiding a paper trail."The Woke Filter: They told the AI to flag anything related to "DEI." This backfired spectacularly when the AI flagged projects on Holocaust survivors, Appalachian history, and Italian-American archives simply because they used words like "identity," "culture," or "women."DOGE didn't actually read the grants they cut. Instead, they used ChatGPT and basic keyword searches to flag any program containing "incriminating" words like "history," "culture," "identity," or "BIPOC." If the AI thought it sounded "woke," the funding was axed—a move Judge Colleen McMahon called a "textbook example of unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination."In perhaps the most "mask-off" moment of the proceedings, it was revealed that DOGE staffers flagged and canceled a documentary about Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust. The reason? Their AI-driven filter decided that focusing on "Jewish cultures" and "female voices" made it an illegal DEI program. Apparently, documenting Nazi atrocities is now "radical identity politics."The ruling highlighted a minor detail the administration seemed to forget: DOGE isn't a real government agency. The judge noted that DOGE had absolutely no lawful authority to terminate congressionally appropriated funds. They were essentially a group of private-sector bros playing President with the NEH checkbookThe Redirect: The court found that the $100 million "saved" wasn't actually returned to the Treasury. Instead, it was being funneled into the administration's own projects, like the "National Garden of American Heroes."Why Two Big Companies Just Cut Paid Family Leave MMFor the last decade, a tight labor market forced companies to compete for talent with generous perks. Now, with the job market cooling and employees having less leverage to quit, companies like Deloitte and Zoom are quietly rolling back benefits.Zoom, the company that became the face of remote work, has slashed its paid parental leave. Birthing parents saw their leave drop from up to 24 weeks to 18 weeks, while non-birthing parents were cut from 16 weeks down to 10.Deloitte is making deep cuts, but not for everyone. The reductions specifically target “Center” employees—the administrative, IT, and finance support staff who generally earn less—rather than the high-earning consultants. Their leave was halved from 16 weeks to just eight.Beyond just time off, Deloitte is axing its $50,000 reimbursement program for adoption, surrogacy, and IVF for these support roles.I Hate Working 5 Days': Zoom CEO Eric Yuan Says AI Could Shrink Workweeks To 3 Days In A Major Future ShiftGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Chipotle CEO [Scott Boatwright] tells customers to ‘just ask' if they want bigger portions after downsizing accusations: “You should ask for a little more ...

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down Greg Abel’s first Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting as CEO and what it says about the future of the company after Warren Buffett. They discuss Berkshire’s nearly $400 billion cash pile, whether it is a sign of excessive caution or disciplined capital allocation, and why patience can look like a mistake when markets keep moving higher. They also look at Berkshire’s insurance business, BNSF Railway, energy exposure, AI-related power demand, stock buybacks, and why the conglomerate structure still matters. In the second half of the episode, Simon and Dan shift to private markets and the growing interest in companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Perplexity, and other pre-IPO businesses. They explain how platforms like EquityZen and Forge Global work, the risks of buying private company shares, and why access alone does not necessarily mean a good investment opportunity. They also discuss accredited investor rules in Canada and the U.S., whether those rules actually protect investors, and why wealth is a poor substitute for financial sophistication.
