In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we dive into the latest trends and insights shaping the market. First, have a look at the TD Direct Investing Index which shows that investor sentiment is slightly bearish despite markets hitting all time highs. We look at the stocks that have been the most bought and sold by TD’s self-directed investors with some surprise names on the list. Switching gears, we share the results of a Twitter poll on the best personal finance hacks. We then talk about a listener’s question on when to trim a core position due to high valuation multiples, using Intuitive Surgical as a case study.   Lastly, we explore the concept of battleground stocks—those highly volatile and polarizing stocks that attract both passionate bulls and bears. Using examples like Tesla, Palantir, and Disney, we discuss the risks and rewards of investing in these contentious equities and share lessons learned from their market behavior.
