My first ever investment: $VFV. I came across a Youtube video of Warren recommending beginners to buy a S&P 500 index fund, and I did just that! To this day, I still have no idea who will perform better between $AMZN $META $GOOG $TSLA $NVDA but it’s okay. I’m happy to just own them all!

$ATD continuing to pursue opportunities in addition to their RECENT Zabka deal! There are very few operators with such an excellent track record of ā€œdigestingā€ acquisitions… I’m thrilled about what the next 5 years for them will look like! ā›½ļø āš”ļø

$TRI.TO at $110: AI is going to decimate this business! Westlaw will be replaced by a Claude plugin! $TRI.TO at $170: (crickets) Kudos to @NewcomerInvest, he nailed this one. Convinced me to buy, too, which obviously I'm happy with.

After today’s rally, $CSU.TO has flipped to positive returns YTD. A big change compared to the doom and gloom we had recently. Looks like the best buy days may be over!

$TRI.TO up 55% since this buy. Remarkable!
Replying to @NewcomerInvest
Date: June 11th 2026 Stock: Thomson Reuters $TRI Action: Buy (add to position) Price: C$111.68 Rationale: Continuing to reinvest my dividends into this business at an attractive valuation. Stock: Alimentation Couche-Tard $ATD Action: Sell (~6.9% of position) Price: C$84.18 Rationale: Monetizing part of my position at a reasonable price. Stock: Uber Technologies $UBER.TO Action: Buy (NEW POSITION!) Price: C$10.05 (Equivalent to price of approx. $68-$69 for $UBER on the NYSE) Rationale: I have looked at this one for a long time. A powerful business now trading at a attractive valuation. I see this one as presenting a good opportunity both for a shorter term ā€œflipā€ as well as for a long term position. Started very small but will continue to scale into it if it stays at this level.

$BN Brookfield is a best-in-class asset manager with a credible path to mid-teens earnings growth over the next few years. It’s my largest single stock and I am comfortable continuing to add at current levels.

$FNV.TO continues to execute and add more assets to their portfolio. They have a clean balance sheet with no debt, tons of financial firepower, and probably one of the best management teams in Canada. It has more than doubled since my initial buy at C$147 and I plan to continue holding as one of my largest investments. Thesis (copied below) is still the exact same as when I started buying šŸ‘‡šŸ½
Franco Nevada $FNV is the BEST stock you’ve never heard of! Here’s why I’ve made it one of my LARGEST holdings (a thread 🧵) ā¬‡ļø

$CSU.TO Constellation Software is my biggest new position this year, and for good reason. The ā€œSaaSpocalypseā€ stock movement this year has presented an incredible opportunity for investors with a long-term horizon. Constellation is undeniably one of Canada’s greatest companies with a unique culture. It may take time for it to recover in the markets but this gives us time to keep accumulating shares. I do expect this to be one of my better performers over the coming years.

YTD Stocks Total Return Update: 2026 PERFORMANCE: +28% | $NPI, Northland Power +25% | $CNR, Canadian National Railway +23% | $FNV, Franco Nevada +19% | $VFV, Unhedged S&P 500 ETF +17% | $XEQT, World ETF +16% | $EQB, EQ Bank +4% | $ATD, Alimentation Couche-Tard -3.3% | $PYPL, PayPal -5% | $BAM, Brookfield Asset Management -9% | $CSU, Constellation Software -9.7% | $KITS, Kits Eyecare -10% | $AQN, Algonquin Power -12% | $ENGH, Enghouse Systems -12% | $UBER, Uber Technologies -13% | $FFH, Fairfax -15.5% | $BN, Brookfield Corporation -17% | $TRI, Thomson Reuters -22% | $MCD, McDonald’s Corporation -24% | $BABA, Alibaba -65% | $ABXX, Abaxx Technologies Average holding performance is -5% vs +17% for my world ETF. Took advantage of volatility in the markets this year to start positions in some high quality beaten up stocks, including $CSU, $TRI, $UBER, $MCD. Also averaged up into $BN recently given the drop in the stock price. My strategy remains the same: keep buying great companies at a discount and stay invested for the long term. Cheers & happy investing! Note: ā€œYTD Total Return" reflects the year-to-date change in stock price compared to its value on 12/31/2025 and includes dividends received YTD.

$RY.TO $DOL.TO $L.TO $FTS.TO Companies I hold in extremely high regard that I would love to own one day if the price is right
What stock do you want to own, but can’t currently due to valuation?

$KITS continues to grow nicely. - A product people genuinely want to buy - A very experienced team - A clean balance sheet Their best days are ahead of them. Probably Canada’s best small cap stock. I’m thrilled to be a shareholder! šŸ‘“ šŸ˜Ž

As always, Mr Market offers incredible opportunities, and to my great regret I did not seize the opportunity this year. People who bought $KITS at the low this year are already up over 50%!

For anyone who needs a refresher: Thesis below. I bought a starter position in 2021 and then made sizeable purchases in 2024, now holding $KITS at an avg price a little above C$8.
KITS is the best small cap company you’ve never heard of. In just a few years, they scaled from $0 to $150M+ in annual revenue run rate. In this mega thread, I’ll explain why I recently made this one of my LARGEST holdings! 🧵 ā¬‡ļø $KITS

When buying $UBER you’re getting: • 42M trips per day • 208M monthly active users • 10M active drivers & couriers • Presence in 75+ markets & 15,000+ cities • An impeccable balance sheet • Core business executing well with gross bookings up ~20%+ • Shifted from unprofitable to exploding free cash flows • Cash flows reinvested for growth, acquisitions (ie. Delivery Hero) AND buybacks • Trading cheaply under 20 P/E • Unmatched global mobility & transportation data moat • Opportunity to become a default launch network for AV partners • Massive optionality in adjacent areas (travel/hotels, ads, grocery) It’s rare to find a compounder with this level of dominance, structural moat, and growth runway still priced like a utility. The AV risk is real… but I like the risk reward at $68. I will keep adding to my position šŸš™

A few years ago I put a solid amount into $XEQT.TO , mostly because I didn’t know where else to deploy it at the time. I told myself it would be my ā€œunofficial cash pileā€ that I could draw from whenever I saw a great stock opportunity… In the end, I resisted the temptation and mostly left it alone to see what would happen. The results have been great so far! It’s not as fun, but I’ve really come to appreciate the value of these all-in-one ETFs. I think most investors should at least consider having some exposure to them. What do you think about these all-in-one ETFs?
