XEQT vs VEQT: Which All-Equity ETF Should Canadian Investors Pick in 2026?

We compared 12 all-equity and equity-focused ETFs for Canadian investors. XEQT (iShares) and VEQT (Vanguard) are the two dominant players—both track global markets with minimal fees. XEQT wins slightly on size and lower MER, but VEQT just cut its fee and offers comparable performance. For most Canadians in a TFSA or RRSP, either is an excellent choice. If you want to build your own portfolio, US-listed ETFs like ITOT + IEFA + IEMG in an RRSP offer lower costs and better tax treatment.

XEQT AUM:C$14.81B

Four AI Infrastructure Giants: Which Bet on GPU Cloud Makes Sense in 2026?

We're comparing four companies racing to build AI data centers—APLD, CRWV, NBIS, and IREN. All are unprofitable or early-stage, all depend on Nvidia, and all are extremely volatile. NBIS just got a $2B Nvidia vote of confidence and has the wildest growth story. CRWV is the biggest revenue-wise but drowning in debt. IREN is the only profitable one but pivoting away from crypto. APLD is the smallest and riskiest. Winner: NBIS—if you can stomach the volatility.

NBIS Current Price:$111.71 (up 16% today after Nvidia news)

PLTR vs. BBAI: David vs. Goliath in the AI-Defense Arms Race

You're comparing a mega-cap AI powerhouse (PLTR, $361B, 70% revenue growth) against a micro-cap competitor (BBAI, $2B, shrinking revenue). PLTR is the established player with real profits and analyst backing. BBAI is a speculative bet that's currently under investigation. PLTR wins decisively, but comes with a sky-high valuation that leaves little room for error.

BBAI Market Cap:$1.97B

Canadian Dividend Royalty: The Safest Passive Income Play Right Now

After running an elimination tournament on 14 Canadian dividend candidates, Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV.TO) emerges as the safest inflation-hedged pick. The yield is under 1%—low for a passive income play—but FNV combines gold-linked cash flows, zero debt, 19 consecutive years of dividend increases, and a capital-light royalty model that's safer than mining. The real edge is total return, not current income.

Dividend Yield:Under 1% (approximately 0.9%) — low yield is the trade-off for inflation-protected total returns

NO PICK: Markets Closed for Weekend Murder — Oil Chaos Creates Trap, Not Opportunity

After the worst week in nearly five months, with the S&P 500 down 1.7% Friday and oil spiking 35% weekly to breach $90/barrel amid U.S.-Iran conflict, the market faces a deadly stagflation setup. Today is Sunday March 8 — markets are closed. Every apparent 'opportunity' is actually a trap: energy stocks can't ship oil through the closed Strait of Hormuz, tech is being repriced for AI disruption, and Friday's -92,000 jobs print signals recession risk. This is a 'watch and wait' week, not a buying week.

WTI Crude Oil:$90.90/barrel (+35% weekly)
