Get your library cards ready! This week on the pod Bob and Nelson discuss our favourite finance books, which will likely include some of your favourites -- and potentially some new ones, too.

We also discuss one that is popular in the community, but is unloved by at least one of us. We're hiding deep in our respective bunkers just in case y'all get *real* excited about that one.

Let us know in the comments which finance books you like. Bonus points for a little more obscure ones.

Your favourite podcast is back, baby!

In season 2 Bob and Nelson are ready to tackle everything of interest for DIY Canadian investors. This week's episode we start out with a quick recap of season 1 and what you can expect for season two.

Then we pivot to discussing what types of investments belong in which account, the perils of overoptimizing for taxes, and an interesting dividend strategy that has a history of beating the TSX over the long-term.

This week's episode was special. Not only is it our season finale, but we took your questions LIVE on Twitter. We covered all sorts of things, including what we do when a company cuts its dividend, whether currency hedging is a good idea, and, of course, some dividend stocks we think might be interesting today.

Thanks everyone for a great season 1, and we'll see you again in the fall.

This week's episode is a special one. Bob and Nelson discuss some of the most important investing lessons we've learned recently, including the importance of growth, feelings of FOMO as seemingly everyone else embraces the AI bubble, and how some of the most important investing lessons have impacts far away from the portfolio.

There is a very good chance we're going to look stupid, but screw it. Predictions are fun!

In this episode of the pod, Nelson and Bob make all sorts of wild predictions. We opine on whether the stock market will continue to perform, what'll happen with interest rates, which companies will cut dividends, and a few *really* interesting wildcards at the end.

So-called "one decision" stocks are fantastic choices for long-term investors. You only need to make one decision -- when to buy -- and the rest takes care of itself.

But what stocks belong on such a vaunted list?

Join Bob and Nelson as we go through such stocks in our portfolios, sharing the best of the best in sectors such as Canadian banking, utilities, REITs, and even some U.S. tech. Your portfolio might never look the same again.

This week Bob and Nelson are talking bubbles. More specifically, the AI bubble.

We talk about how you might want to invest if you worry about a bubble, some other bubbles we remember, and steps you can take to protect yourself if you just can't resist speculating on something frisky.

And, as a bonus, Nelson goes off on an old-man-yells-at-cloud anti-AI rant that he's been holding inside for a long time.

Both Bob and Nelson have a simple retirement plan. We want to live off the dividends while the underlying shares continue to go up in value.

This method has a ton of advantages. It's worked well historically. It's simple. And it comes with much lower taxes than you might first assume.

But that doesn't mean it's a perfect solution for everyone. This episode we dig deep into the concept and point out not just the positives, but the negatives as well.

If you plan to retire on just the dividends, you won't want to miss this one.
