Sentiment: Positive

2025 is a perfect reminder of how investing often feels contradictory: everything and nothing is happening at the same time. The S&P 500 is up about 6% (including dividends), and the TSX 60 has returned more than 9% as of July 1st. In the U.S., GDP growth is steady, unemployment remains low, but housing starts have slowed. Hardly the picture of an imminent recession.

I like that Telus is deleveraging, and I'll be following how much revenue the co-location of cell towers could bring to the table now that Telus's tower network is half-owned by a third party. I see lots of smoke around the U.S. economy. If goods prices increase, consumers will have difficulty coping with more inflation. It could lead to a softer job market.
