Episode notes
Canadian Stock Discount
- Canadian stocks trade at a significant discount to their U.S. peers, especially those with U.S.-based operations.
- This discount presents an opportunity, particularly given concerns about tariffs and political actions.
Knowledge-Based Industries in Canada
- Canada's strong education system and tech hubs foster knowledge-based industries.
- These industries offer advantages like scalability, high margins, and resilience against tariffs and inflation.

- Small-cap stocks experienced a significant sell-off in 2022-2023, leading to cheap valuations.
- This, combined with reversing interest rates, creates a potentially extended positive cycle for these stocks.
