Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

In this episode, we dissect the financial indicators that are currently painting a vivid picture of the economic landscape. The conversation begins with a deep dive into the steepening yield curve and its historical significance as a precursor to recessions. Though the inverted yield curve has long been a reliable indicator of economic downturns, its effects are not immediately felt; the fallout could be delayed by months or even years. We shed some light on the current state where long-term yields have been climbing, especially in the US, inching towards a flat curve, which historically has brought economies closer to recessions, especially coming off a period of yield curve inversion. Transitioning from global economic indicators, the discussion pivots to the domestic financial arena, focusing on the High-Interest Savings Accounts (HISA) and the recent regulatory pullback in Canada. Over the last 15 years, the near-zero rate environment has challenged savers and low-risk investors to find yield, often nudging them higher on the risk curve. The recent uptick in rates ushered in a plethora of opportunities in the fixed income domain, particularly the High-Interest Savings Accounts ETFs, which offered a haven for capital while providing meaningful near-equity liquid returns with lower risk profiles, boasting up to 5-5.5% returns. However, this financial refuge didn't sit well with banks, leading to a robust lobbying effort to regulators to rein in on these products. The regulatory bodies acquiesced, introducing measures that pared nearly 0.5% off returns. This move, aimed at securing a backdoor 0.5% margin for banks, starkly contrasts with the ethos of ensuring the safety and security of Canadian investors. The episode also touches on the irony where certain banks and brokerages like TD have barred these trades, while risk-laden triple inverse emerging market crypto ETFs continue to operate without a hitch.…

In this episode, we delve into the recent strategic moves I've made in my portfolio, which may have caught some by surprise but are rooted in my reading of evolving market dynamics. Here’s a breakdown of the latest decisions: exited positions in Costco with a 17% gain, Empire at break-even, Walmart with a 17.5% gain, Target at a -2% loss, and iShares Pharma at a loss of 3.6%. These are substantial moves that weren’t initially on my agenda. It’s important to note that these decisions weren’t based on the underlying fundamentals or valuations of these companies – which I continue to appreciate. The catalyst was rather a growing sense of a short-term negative game-changer moment on the horizon. I've previously discussed the potential impact of Ozempic, and more broadly, the GLP-1 family of drugs, on sectors beyond healthcare due to their potential in reducing obesity and promoting weight loss. This thread pulls at the fabric of various industries: The potential societal disruption is enormous, and while the world buzzes about AI and ChatGPT, this healthcare evolution could be a parallel narrative growing in significance. Reflecting on my portfolio, the decent returns already achieved were near my threshold of satisfaction. The decision to secure these profits and transition to lower risk, chunky yield options seemed a prudent move amidst the growing narrative. The key takeaway here is that admiring a company doesn't always equate to liking its stock at a given moment. While I have a positive outlook on COST and WMT, the short-term negative sentiment driving down stock values led me to bank the profits and await a more opportune entry point. Concerns loom around the long-term impacts of these drugs, creating a potential false sense of security leading to overeating, and the unknown side effects that could emerge over time. The play moving forward hinges on the momentum GLP-1 drugs gain. If this narrative unfolds akin to how AI captured market attention, it could depress stock values in the short term. This scenario presents an opportunity to re-enter at a more favorable price point. If it doesn’t pan out, the gains locked in provide a cushion to strategize for another day, especially with external market pressures like high valuation, sustained high rates, inflation, a potential hard landing, and geopolitical tensions looming large.…

Today we delve into the ongoing market recalibration as investors and institutions adjust to a high-interest rate, slow growth, and sticky inflation scenario. Wall Street and Bay Street, initially resistant to acknowledging the shifting dynamics, are now coming to terms with a reality that contradicts earlier forecasts. A group, notably with a less than stellar track record, had incorrectly predicted the transitory nature of inflation, the onset of a recession by mid-2023, a soft landing, and a decline in interest rates by this time. Despite these missteps, there's a continued reliance on the insights from these factions, raising questions on the prudence of such reliance. Breaking down the terminology, 'sticky inflation' refers to a scenario of lower inflation rates, albeit higher than what we've been accustomed to. Factors contributing to this include regionalization of global trade, adjustments in supply chains, and the transition towards climate-friendly technologies. High-interest rates, on the other hand, translate to a higher cost of capital, subsequently leading to a decrease in asset values. Additionally, slower economic growth forecasts are predicting slower earnings, which play into lower asset prices, essentially impacting stock values negatively. Interestingly, bond prices continue to trend upward despite economic indicators hinting at a slowdown, an impending recession, and an inverted yield curve. This trend seems to be dissociated from economic or inflationary factors and is more so a result of supply issues. The extension of the debt ceiling has propelled the Treasury towards raising funds through the debt market. However, with China facing its own set of challenges and banks entangled in their dilemmas, there has been a notable absence of buyers. Furthermore, the supply of bonds is dwindling as the Federal Reserve has ceased purchasing bonds, and existing bonds are retiring upon maturity. The ensuing scenario is one of lower bond prices correlating to higher yields. As the market undergoes this period of adjustment and recalibration, the discourse is veering towards whether a slow, painful grind downwards or an abrupt '87 style crash is on the horizon. Some argue for a quick, 'rip off the bandaid' approach. In terms of strategic plays, the allure of bonds, especially in the short term, is becoming more pronounced as they offer near-equity returns amidst the current market volatility. The narrative is slightly different in the medium to long term; expectations are that interest rates will peak and then descend, presenting a golden opportunity for capital gains in bonds. Concurrently, quality assets may be undervalued, paving the way for intriguing investment prospects in sectors like banks, utilities, luxury retail, and for the contrarian investor, commercial real estate in anticipation of a full-scale return to office work. Now, as we maneuver through this transitional phase, the looming question remains: How can investors strategically position themselves to not only weather the storm but thrive amidst the evolving financial landscape?…
