The three amigos reunite for the 2025 year-in-review and break down the biggest market takeaways of the year. Dan explains how the TSX delivered rare outperformance versus U.S. markets, powered by financials and a major run in precious metals—while telecoms slid out of Canada’s top market-cap ranks. The crew then dives into AI’s public-market ripple effects: the data center CapEx boom, who’s winning across chips, infrastructure, and power, and why data center REITs may not be the pure-play many investors expect. Simon recaps “Liberation Day” and the tariff-driven selloff that rattled markets, before they close on gold and silver’s breakout, banks leaning on capital markets, Bitcoin’s volatility (and the MicroStrategy trade), and a quiet three-year stretch of weakness in Canadian railways.
