  • Ep 18 - Home Country Bias
    Jan 26 2026

    "You can't have the majority of your portfolio in Canadian stocks. Don't you know that Canada is only 3% of the world's market?!?!?"


    This week on the pod Bob and Nelson tackle this question from a more contrarian perspective. We argue that the TSX is actually much more diversified than it first appears, and that some of the advantages to concentrating in one country outweigh some of the disadvantages.


    Agree with us? Think we're crazy? Let us know on the Twitter. Find Bob here, and Nelson is here.

  • Ep 17 - Is The 60/40 Portfolio Dead?
    Jan 19 2026

    This week on the pod Bob and Nelson discuss the death of the 60/40 portfolio, and how so many investors just don't hold bonds altogether. Is this a smart strategy, or are investors who move into 100% equity portfolios taking on too much risk?


    As always, you can get more Bob in your life by visiting Tawcan, and Nelson can be found at Canadian Dividend Investing.
