What’s Driving the Drop in Tech Stocks ...

BRADEN DENNIS & SIMON BELANGER
About this episode

Simon and Dan break down Canada’s latest CPI print and why inflation data doesn’t always match what you see at the grocery store. They dig into the recent drawdown in risk assets, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to the high-growth and AI names that have gone from “can’t miss” to painful drawdowns. They also look at Berkshire’s new stake in Alphabet, what it might signal for big tech, and wrap up with another strong quarter from Loblaw and what it says about food inflation, pricing power, and defensive compounding in a choppy market.

Tickers of stocks discussed: QQQ, MSFT, AMZN, META, GOOGL, BRK.B, UNH, NVDA, ORCL, ADBE, DUOL, HIMS, IONQ, RGTI, CELH, GSY.TO, L.TO, DOL.TO, HD
