In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we start by talking about the best performing stocks on the TSX and look at some common themes. We also explore why trying to beat the S&P 500 might not be the best strategy for every investor. We also discuss some comments from Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, that adopting a long-term perspective is crucial. Businesses should be valued over decades, not in the short term. This mindset helps investors stay focused on their goals rather than reacting to market fluctuations.
