In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we go over General Mills' Q4 results. Despite being a consumer staple company with brands like Cheerios, Betty Crocker, and Häagen-Dazs, the company is facing some challenges due to consumers opting for cheaper alternatives.

Next, we turn our attention to Alimentation Couche-Tard. Reporting its second consecutive quarter of soft earnings, Couche-Tard saw revenue beat expectations but profits were below what bay street was expecting. We'll explore the factors contributing to their 32% year-over-year decline in earnings, including challenges in fuel margins and consumer behavior shifts in Canada.

We also answer some listeners' questions about investing when markets are at all time highs, the best methods for currency conversion, and alternative fixed income investments.

In this special Canada Day episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we dive into the dangers of speaking in absolutes when it comes to investing. From misconceptions about invincible companies like Visa, Mastercard, and Nvidia, to the importance of framing investment theses around probabilities rather than certainties, we discuss how rigid thinking can blindside investors to potential risks.

We also explore the concept of blackout periods for stock buybacks and their impact on market demand. With companies potentially repurchasing up to $1 trillion worth of shares by 2025, we consider how this practice might artificially boost stock prices and the potential repercussions if buybacks decrease.

We finish this episode by discussing stocks that we added to our watchlist.

On this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast we break down the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and its ramifications for the Bank of Canada's (BOC) upcoming monetary policy decisions. With the annual inflation rate now at 2.9% and core inflation seeing its first rise in months, we examine the challenges the BOC faces in balancing rate adjustments against a backdrop of a weak economy and high consumer debt.

We'll also explore the varying performance of major Canadian grocery chains, contrasting Empire's cautious outlook with Loblaw's robust growth, and discuss strategic moves in the retail sector. Additionally, we go over the recent earnings release of two of the major Canadian cannabis producers in Canopy and Aurora. We finish the episode by talking about Winnebago’s decline in sales and what it means for the RV industry.
