Believes momentum will continue. What's holding us back are Donald Trump's tariffs, which are very specific. About 90% of goods are moving across the border tariff-free under USMCA. It's a very complicated setup.
On the other hand, our economy's been "liberated" by turning on a big gas and a big oil export facility on the West Coast. These have pumped a lot of $$ into the Canadian economy. Gold production with the price rising has also added a lot.
The pessimism around Trump's noise has flattened the housing market. But we are going to get rate cuts, which should hopefully rekindle that market. Bruce's wife is in real estate, and so he's had feedback that housing is starting to pick up a bit.
The TACO part of Trump is coming through, and people are starting to ignore Trump and just get on with their lives. The outlook looks very good.
Canada has lots of technology expertise, so we're well-equipped for the AI revolution and will benefit from that.
The plan is OK. Lots of moving parts. The turnaround from overpaying the dividend is there. Looking forward, dividend's probably safe; can probably start growing it again 3-4 years from now when the fibre play starts to pay off. Fibre is a big move to the future; if it works, it'll be spectacular.
CRTC decision today to allow competitors to use BCE's fibre footprint will reduce profits, as the access price will be regulated. Hopefully the regulated price will at least cover the costs. Also takes away the oligopoly aspect.
Luxury space has been suffering. Consumer sentiment worldwide has been crushed by Trump and by Ukraine war, but it will come back. Louis Vuitton is going to be here for the long term. Thinks it's at the bottom, he's been accumulating.
It's a sentiment stock. So once sentiment turns, the stock will pop.
Dividend bounces around, but between 5-9% over last few years. World-class name. Auto industry has been depressed for a decade, but now coming back. Politicians are hammering less on EVs. Elon's burned his bridges with the luxury consumer; Teslas will disappear, and BMW and Mercedes will come back. He sold to buy a bit more NVDA.
