In this episode, Simon and Dan break down 10 common mistakes Canadian investors make, from treating the TFSA like a basic savings account to overconcentrating in Canadian stocks and real estate. They discuss why home-country bias can quietly increase portfolio risk, when CDRs and Canadian-listed U.S. ETFs may or may not make sense, and how withholding taxes, currency conversion, and account type can affect returns.

They also dig into the psychology of chasing yield, the danger of focusing too much on dividends instead of total returns, and why high-fee funds should be judged on performance net of fees rather than fees alone. The episode wraps with a look at analyst price targets, investor pitch decks, and why relying too heavily on management presentations can lead investors to miss major red flags.

Tickers of Stocks Discussed: V, RY, AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, SHOP, CLS, CSU, FTS, VFV, VOO, BCE, MSTR, MSTY, ZLB, XIC, GSY, LSPD, WEED, CM.
