• Why the TSX Is Crushing the S&P 500 This Year

  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.

• 50 Ways to Invest in the AI Revolution - Part 2

  Simon and Dan return with the second half of their deep dive into 50 Ways to Invest in the AI Revolution. While Part 1 covered the obvious giants—semiconductors, hyperscalers, pure-play AI software, enterprise apps, and data center REITs—this episode looks at some of the less obvious but equally important beneficiaries of AI. From utilities and grid infrastructure to commodities like uranium, copper, and natural gas, they explore the backbone powering AI’s massive energy demand. They also dig into healthcare, cybersecurity, IT consulting, and industrial automation—sectors where AI is already improving efficiency, margins, and innovation in ways most investors overlook. Once again, they highlight dozens of companies and ETFs across these subsectors, balancing both the opportunities and the risks. If you’re wondering how to get diversified AI exposure beyond the usual suspects like NVDA and MSFT, this episode is packed with fresh angles and ticker ideas. Tickers discussed: Utilities & infrastructure: NEE, CNP, D, CPX.TO, BEPC, BIP.UN.TO, PWR, MTZ, SU, ENB Commodities & energy: TECK.B.TO, TOU.TO, URA, U.UN.TO, UNG, ZEO.TO, BCIM Healthcare: GEHC, SMMNY, PFE, ISRG, WELL.TO, ZHQ.TO Cybersecurity: CRWD, PANW, HAK, CYBR.TOConsulting & IT services: ACN, IBM, INFY Industrial automation: ROK, ABB, PNG.V Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Our New Youtube Channel!
