    this pod threw me down the rabbit hole of investing and has changed financial life for the better, learned a ton. however, it’s becoming harder and harder to listen with a big focus on government policy, rates (some is okay) and far too much bitcoin for my liking (even tho I hold some)

  • One of the 5% Here

    I enjoy hearing what is going on in Canada’s market and hearing your opinions. Learned a lot from you both since I have been listening.

    Just so we’re clear, “both sides” here are not in favor of Trump, nor Musk. We’re just waiting for another shoe to drop in our oligarchy. Those of us that have common sense want the best for Canada, too.
