What makes a great business? And just as importantly, when is a great business worth buying?

Those were some of the themes Jason Del Vicario CFA explored during his appearance on BNN Bloomberg‘s Trading Day on July 6th.

The conversation covered:
• Rogers Communications (RCI-B.TO) and the acquisition of the remaining stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment—why even exceptional assets can become less attractive when the price paid is too high.
• Copart (NASDAQ: CPRT)—a business we’ve long admired for its dominant market position, hard-to-replicate asset base, founder-led culture, and attractive long-term prospects.
• Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU)—one of Canada’s highest-quality businesses. While concerns around AI have weighed on the share price, we continue to believe its portfolio of mission-critical vertical market software businesses is exceptionally well positioned for the long term.

At Hillside Wealth Management, our focus isn’t on predicting short-term market movements. It’s on identifying exceptional businesses, understanding what they’re worth, and patiently investing when opportunities arise.

📺 Jason Del Vicario CFA was back on BNN Bloomberg today, discussing everything from SpaceX and #AI enthusiasm to overlooked opportunities in software and Japan.

A few takeaways from the conversation:
✅ In the long run, stock prices follow business results.
✅ While investors are focused on the latest AI stories, many high-quality businesses have quietly become much more attractive.
✅ These periods of excitement and pessimism are often when long-term opportunities are created.
✅ We’re continuing to find interesting ideas in places that aren’t getting much attention, including small-cap companies in Japan.

As Benjamin Graham famously said:
“In the short run, the market is a voting machine. In the long run, it is a weighing machine.”.
