The oil market has been rocked by escalating tensions in the Middle East, massive price swings, and a growing debate over whether the world is heading into a full-blown energy shock. In this special two-part episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, we bring you perspectives from both sides of the market.

First, Josh Young, Portfolio Manager at Bison Investments, breaks down the crisis from the buy side, explaining why he believes the oil market was already tightening long before the latest geopolitical escalation and why the risk of a major supply shock is being underestimated. He walks through what could happen if disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz persist — including his view that if the strait were to remain closed for roughly 60 days, oil prices could surge to new all-time highs. Josh also explains why energy stocks may still have significant upside and how he’s positioning his portfolio to capture asymmetric opportunities in the sector. He also notes that higher global oil prices could be particularly positive for Canadian oil producers, which stand to benefit from stronger crude pricing and increased demand for secure supply outside the Middle East. In Pro Picks, Josh highlights Crescent Energy (CRGY), which he describes as a “Moneyball”-style operator buying and improving undervalued assets; Ensign Energy Services (ESI.TO), an oilfield services company he believes is being overly punished for its Middle East exposure despite strong free cash flow; and Journey Energy (JOY.TO), a small-cap Canadian producer he says still has meaningful upside driven by its Duvernay exposure and potential takeover interest.

Then we shift to the sell side with Patrick O’Rourke, Managing Director, Institutional Equity Research at ATB Cormark Capital Markets, who explains how analysts and institutional investors are interpreting the crisis — with a particular focus on what it means for Canadian oil prices and producers. Patrick breaks down why crude volatility has been concentrated at the front end of the curve, why energy equities haven’t fully reacted yet, and how investors are trying to determine whether higher oil prices will last. He also explains how global supply disruptions are tightening Canadian heavy oil differentials, improving realized prices for Canadian crude, and increasing demand for barrels that can reach the Gulf Coast or Asian markets.

From geopolitical risk to Canadian energy policy to the stocks investors are watching closely, this episode takes you inside the biggest debate in energy markets right now—whether this is just another oil spike or the beginning of a much larger structural shift.

Small caps are finally having their moment — and according to Greg Dean, Founder & Lead Investor at Langdon Equity Partners, the opportunity set may be bigger than most investors realize. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Greg explains why he focuses exclusively on global small-cap companies and how he searches the world for businesses that can potentially double over the next 3–5 years. He shares the disciplined framework behind his strategy, why he avoids highly leveraged businesses, and why volatility and market stress often create the best entry points for long-term investors.

The conversation also dives into the big debate around software valuations and how the market is reassessing the long-term value of many tech companies. Greg walks through his view on the selloff in enterprise software and discusses what investors may be missing about durable software franchises. The discussion includes Constellation Software (CSU.TO) and why its acquisition-driven model and disciplined capital allocation have made it one of the most resilient compounders in the market.

In the Mailbag, Greg weighs in on a wide range of stocks across sectors. He shares his perspective on TerraVest Industries (TVK.TO) and why its acquisition-driven model has created significant value but now trades at a premium. He discusses retailer Group Dynamite (GRGD.TO), a Canadian success story with strong same-store sales growth but a valuation that reflects much of the optimism. Greg also breaks down why he likes A&W Food Services (AW.TO) as a capital-light restaurant and royalty business with an attractive yield and steady growth. The conversation also touches on U.S. insurance distributor Goosehead Insurance (GSHD) and the debate around AI disruption, as well as Canadian financial names EQB Inc. (EQB.TO) and Dominion Lending Centres (DLCG.TO) and how the evolving mortgage and lending landscape could shape their outlook.

For his Pro Picks, Greg highlights three high-conviction ideas he believes have strong long-term upside. First is YETI Holdings (YETI), where he sees a misunderstood brand expanding beyond drinkware into bags, coolers and international markets. Next is Royal Unibrew (RBREW.CO), a European beverage company producing and distributing beer, soft drinks and other beverages across several markets. Finally, he discusses Hypoport (HYQ.DE), a German fintech platform that connects banks and brokers through mortgage software and could see meaningful earnings growth as housing volumes recover.

If the market rotation into smaller companies continues, Greg believes the real opportunity may be in high-quality small caps that investors have never heard of — but that could quietly compound for years to come.

The oil market just got a historic geopolitical shock — and Eric Nuttall says market complacency is creating a major opportunity in energy stocks.

Geopolitics has jolted the oil market — but according to Eric Nuttall, the real story for investors was already unfolding long before the latest headlines. The Partner & Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners, joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar for an emergency session to break down the implications of the Iran crisis, why the market may be dangerously complacent about global oil supply, and why he believes energy stocks remain in a multi-year bull market. Eric explains why the widely anticipated oil “super-glut” never materialized, why U.S. shale production may have plateaued, and why long-dated oil reserves could become increasingly valuable in the years ahead. He also discusses why energy stocks have pulled back despite rising geopolitical risks and why patient investors could still see significant upside in the sector.

Before getting to the Mailbag, Amber asks Eric about Strathcona Resources (SCR), a stock he says he bought this week. Eric explains why he’s attracted to the company’s long-life reserves and discounted valuation compared with larger peers like Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ). The purchase comes even after Eric opposed the company’s now failed bid to buy MEG Energy (MEG). He explains why he sees compelling value in Strathcona today and why companies with deep, long-dated reserves could benefit the most if oil prices rise.

In the Mailbag, Eric tackles viewer questions starting with Baytex Energy (BTE), explaining why he doesn’t regret selling it and why the company’s recent rally reflects buybacks and a cleaner balance sheet after exiting the Eagle Ford. He then discusses Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE), where strong economics and improving results have driven a major run in the stock. From there he responds to a question on Logan Energy (LGN), warning that going too far down the market-cap spectrum can leave investors stuck in stocks without enough institutional buying power to drive a rerating. He then shares his thesis on Cenovus Energy (CVE) following its acquisition of MEG Energy (MEG), before turning to natural gas with Birchcliff Energy (BIR) and ARC Resources (ARX), where he explains why he’s currently less enthusiastic about Canadian gas. The Mailbag wraps with a blunt take on Surge Energy (SGY).

In Pro Picks, Eric first reflects briefly on some of his past ideas on the show — including Veren (VRN), MEG Energy (MEG), and NuVista Energy (NVA) — all of which were ultimately taken out, though he says he would rather see the full investment thesis play out than rely on M&A. Today he shares three current high-conviction ideas: Whitecap Resources (WCP), Athabasca Oil (ATH), and Ovintiv (OVV). He explains why Whitecap remains his largest holding thanks to its long inventory runway and discounted valuation, why Athabasca’s deep reserve base could become increasingly strategic in a tightening oil market, and why Ovintiv’s cleaner asset base and aggressive share buybacks could drive a meaningful re-rating if the company attracts more long-term institutional investors.

Small-caps are outperforming. Software stocks are getting crushed. Is this the great rotation? 

On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Andrey Omelchak, President, CEO & CIO at LionGuard Capital, breaks down one of the biggest shifts happening in markets right now. As AI fears hammer software valuations and once-untouchable names get cut in half, small and mid-cap stocks are quietly catching a bid. Andrey explains why he believes the market has overreacted in parts of software — but also why select small caps, defense plays, and “Build Canada” beneficiaries may offer stronger risk-adjusted returns from here.

He shares how he’s thinking about geopolitics, rising oil prices, gold as a safe haven, and why defense spending is becoming one of the most obvious long-term investment themes. At the same time, he argues that today’s short-term market mindset is creating major inefficiencies — particularly in overlooked Canadian small caps.

In the mailbag, we tackle the AI disruption debate head-on with a look at major software names including Thomson Reuters (TRI) and Constellation Software (CSU), plus small-cap tech like Docebo (DCBO) and Kneat.com (KSI). Are these sharp drawdowns buying opportunities — or signs of structural change? Andrey also weighs in on engineering and infrastructure firms WSP Global (WSP), AtkinsRéalis (ATRL) and Stantec (STN), battery manufacturer Electrovaya (ELVA), healthcare roll-up WELL Health (WELL), fintech lender Propel Holdings (PRL), and GoEasy (GSY). Which names are unfairly penalized — and which still carry real risk?

In Pro Picks, Andrey highlights Calian Group (CGY), a defense and cybersecurity player benefiting from rising NATO and Canadian military spending; Bird Construction (BDT), a direct “Build Canada” infrastructure beneficiary with a rapidly expanding, higher-quality backlog; and Canaccord Genuity Group (CF), where he sees meaningful upside from a capital markets recovery and potential monetization of its UK wealth business.

Is this the beginning of a lasting market regime change — from software dominance to small-cap opportunity — or just another bout of AI-driven volatility?

“I hate this market. It’s funny because we are strongly outperforming, but I still don’t like this market.”

That’s how dividend investor Rebecca Teltscher, Portfolio Manager at Newhaven Asset Management, sums up today’s market on this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar. Value is working. Dividend stocks are back. Utilities, pipelines and energy have seen major inflows. And yet, Rebecca says this is one of the hardest environments she’s seen to deploy capital, with sectors moving quickly from unloved to fully valued.

Before we get to the Mailbag, Rebecca explains why she’s staying patient in TELUS (T.TO) despite dividend concerns and a leadership transition, why long-held positions like Manulife (MFC.TO) have rewarded disciplined dividend investors who reinvested through volatility, and why she believes fixed income currently offers limited real returns relative to dividend-paying equities. With bond yields compressed and volatility creeping into the rate market, she argues dividend stocks have effectively become the new “safe haven” — even if the easy money has already been made.

In the Mailbag, we begin with the Canadian banks, including BMO (BMO.TO) and TD (TD.TO). Rebecca admits she was wrong last year not adding more exposure as the banks rallied, but says she now wants more clarity on the Canadian economy and the trajectory of loan-loss provisions before committing new capital. She then discusses consumer lender goeasy (GSY.TO) and why subprime credit risk doesn’t align with her capital-preservation philosophy. From there, she weighs the valuation debate around Dollarama (DOL.TO), breaks down the ongoing challenges in office real estate including Allied Properties (AP.UN), revisits the credibility issues and dividend reset at Northland Power (NPI.TO), analyzes Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) versus Brookfield Corp. (BN), and closes with energy producer Whitecap Resources (WCP.TO) and the sustainability of its dividend in a volatile oil environment.

In Pro Picks, Rebecca begins by revisiting her past ideas — including her long-time favourite Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), along with Premium Brands (PBH.TO) and AltaGas (ALA.TO). On CNQ, she explains why its balance sheet strength, capital discipline and history of never cutting its dividend make it a core long-term holding she plans to own for decades. She then shares where she’s putting money to work now: CAE (CAE.TO) for its long runway in civil aviation and defense training, Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN.TO) as a utility turnaround with new management credibility, and ARC Resources (ARX.TO) as a natural gas name with embedded growth and optionality.

Is sustainable investing still relevant — or was ESG just a pandemic-era trade?

On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar we speak with Amber Fairbanks of Impax Asset Management to unpack the ESG backlash, the performance debate, and why she believes sustainable investing isn’t a label — it’s simply long-term investing done right. After years of inflows and hype, ESG has fallen out of favour, but Fairbanks argues the real opportunity may lie in focusing on durable secular trends, corporate culture, and risk management — not marketing buzzwords. From AI disruption to oil & gas exclusions, she explains where sustainability adds value, where it doesn’t, and why time horizon matters more than headlines.

In the Mailbag, we tackle some of the most talked-about names in the market: Nvidia (NVDA) ahead of earnings and whether its AI dominance can continue; Salesforce (CRM) amid the SaaS scare; Tyler Technologies (TYL) — a beat-up software name she believes is worth considering given its deep government relationships; Boston Scientific (BSX) after its sharp drop on guidance; Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) in medtech; Novo Nordisk (NVO) following its stunning fall from grace; and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) as cybersecurity faces AI disruption. Which selloffs are an opportunity — and which deserve caution?

In Pro Picks, Fairbanks shares three sustainable high-conviction ideas positioned for long-term secular growth. She highlights On Holding (ONON), the premium athletic brand capitalizing on the global wellness trend and expanding brand awareness; Bright Horizons Family Solutions (BFAM), the employer-sponsored childcare provider she believes is misunderstood after conservative guidance but poised to regain consistency; and Autoliv (ALV), the auto safety leader benefiting from rising global safety regulation and increased safety content per vehicle. Each reflects her disciplined focus on durable growth, competitive advantage, and corporate culture — core pillars of her sustainable investing framework.

If you’ve been wondering whether ESG still delivers alpha — this conversation is for you.

For years, U.S. markets felt unstoppable. Now the script is flipping.

On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Matthew Strauss, SVP, Portfolio Manager & Lead – Global Equities at CI Global Asset Management, makes the case for rotating into global and emerging market equities. After years of American dominance, Matthew argues that stretched U.S. valuations, crowded positioning, and a shifting growth differential are finally pushing investors to look abroad.

Matthew, who has been investing in emerging markets since the 1990s, breaks down how the asset class has matured — from serial crises to more disciplined fiscal policy, freer-floating currencies, and stronger domestic growth engines. He explains why today’s emerging markets are no longer just export stories, why China, Taiwan, South Korea and India now dominate the field, and why widening economic growth differentials could support another year — or even two — of international outperformance.

In the Mailbag, we globe-trot through investor questions on India where Matthew remains constructive long term but cautious near term given valuations and slowing flows. We discuss MercadoLibre (MELI) and rising competition from Amazon (AMZN) and Sea Limited (SE), why he exited Pop Mart (9992.HK) after peak Labubu growth, the activist push at Japanese toilet-maker Toto and what that says about the Japanese market (5332.T), and whether luxury giant LVMH (MC.PA) needs a stronger Chinese consumer before becoming attractive again.

In Pro Picks, Matthew shares three high-conviction international ideas. First, Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), where he sees upside from high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) tied to the AI build-out despite lingering execution risks. Second, Alibaba (BABA), which he believes is evolving from a pure e-commerce story into a full-stack AI cloud infrastructure player in China. And third, Vista Energy (VIST), a fast-growing Argentine shale producer with improving well productivity, low break-even costs around $45 oil, and a disciplined balance sheet positioned to benefit from export-priced crude.

AI was supposed to supercharge software. Instead, it’s threatening to disrupt it.

Ivana Delevska, Founder & CIO of Spear Advisors, joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar to break down whether the brutal software sell-off is justified — or overdone. As hyperscalers ramp capex and next-generation AI agents get more powerful, investors are questioning which business models survive and which get left behind. Ivana explains why AI is no longer one broad trade, why valuation suddenly matters again, and where she believes the real opportunity now sits in the value chain.

In the mailbag, Ivana tackles your biggest stock questions: Is the drop in Oracle (ORCL) a buying opportunity despite its leverage and OpenAI exposure? What does the reset in software mean for Constellation Software (CSU.TO)? After strong growth and free cash flow, did the market overreact to Shopify (SHOP)? Is Snowflake (SNOW) simply too expensive at current multiples? And what should investors do with Palantir (PLTR), Nvidia (NVDA), and Micron (MU) as the AI cycle rotates from chips to memory to infrastructure?

In Pro Picks, Ivana begins by revisiting her past calls — including Constellation Energy (CEG), Nvidia (NVDA), and Marvell (MRVL) — explaining where she’s taken profits, reduced exposure, and why parts of the AI trade have shifted from offensive to defensive. She then shares where she sees the next leg of upside: Coherent (COHR) in optical networking, KLA Corp (KLAC) in semiconductor capital equipment, and Arista Networks (ANET) in AI networking — areas she believes can still compound strongly as the AI spending cycle moves deeper into hardware and connectivity.

Biotech stocks were left for dead — written off after years of brutal bear markets, failed trials, rising rates, and policy shocks. But what if the sector is quietly waking up?

On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Eden Rahim, Portfolio Manager at Next Edge Capital, to unpack why one of the market’s most volatile and misunderstood sectors may be entering a new bull cycle. Eden walks us through biotech’s “nuclear winter” — from the 2011–2015 boom, to rolling bear markets, to the post-COVID hangover that crushed even former darlings like Moderna. He explains why extreme capitulation readings — with companies trading below net cash and only 1% of stocks above their 50-day moving average — signaled a generational bottom. And since April, biotech has quietly been outperforming the S&P 500… without the headlines.

But this is not a “buy the ETF and forget it” story. Eden breaks down why biotech is the ultimate stock-picker’s market, how he handicaps regulatory, clinical and commercial risk, and why he focuses on post-Phase 2 companies where the odds shift dramatically. He also addresses the new wild card investors must navigate: shifting FDA goalposts and regulatory uncertainty.

In the Mailbag, Amber and Eden tackle stocks that aren’t exactly household names for most investors. They break down Sarepta (SRPT) and whether its dramatic collapse reflects broader gene therapy risks. They discuss WELL Health (WELL) and why the stock can lag even when analyst targets look optimistic. They also look at DRI Healthcare (DRI.UN), the pharmaceutical royalty company offering dividend-paying exposure to drug innovation, and whether its leveraged royalty model is a smarter way to get biotech-like upside with cash flow. Plus, they touch on why Canadian biotech companies often migrate south — and what that means for investors hunting for overlooked opportunities.

In Pro Picks, Eden shares three high-conviction ideas: Alpha Cognition (ACOG), a newly approved Alzheimer’s therapy with improved tolerability and strong commercial runway; ClearPoint Neuro (CLPT), a brain-delivery platform embedded across dozens of gene therapy programs; and NeurAxis (NRXS), a small-cap device company targeting gut-brain disorders with expanding reimbursement tailwinds. Volatile, under-the-radar — and potentially early leaders in a new biotech cycle.

Gold and silver have been rocked in recent weeks, so what should investors do now? According to Jonathan Wellum gold isn’t just a trade — it’s insurance. The President & CEO of ROCKLINC Investment Partners and former money manager to Canadian billionaire Michael Lee-Chin, joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar to lay out why soaring government debt, currency debasement, and rising geopolitical friction have pushed him to one of his most conviction-heavy stances yet: a portfolio anchored by gold, silver, and precious-metal businesses. Jonathan explains why this cycle still feels early despite the recent sell-off, how central-bank buying has reshaped the gold market, and why sharp volatility hasn’t shaken his long-term thesis.

Drawing on decades of experience as a disciplined value investor, Jonathan explains why precious-metal royalty companies form the backbone of his exposure, offering cash-flow durability without the same operational risks as miners. He also walks through silver’s extreme swings, why supply deficits still matter despite violent pullbacks, and how electrification, AI infrastructure, and data-centre demand are quietly tightening metals markets — all while stressing that gold’s role in portfolios is protection first, speculation second.

While precious metals are a core pillar of his strategy, Jonathan makes it clear he’s far from a one-theme investor. He also breaks down how he’s selectively allocating to insurance, industrials and global compounders — areas where valuations have reset and disciplined capital allocation still offers long-term upside.

In the Mailbag, Jonathan weighs in on whether investors have “missed” the move in Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM), breaks down the upside torque in Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) if gold prices stay elevated, and explains why royalty models continue to outperform through cycles. He also addresses volatility in silver-exposed names, comments on Cameco (CCO) amid the nuclear renaissance, and shares why he’s cautious about junior miners despite the temptation of leverage. He also fields questions on Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), Fairfax Financial (FFH), Markel (MKL), and Trisura Group (TSU). The discussion extends to technology names caught in the AI-driven selloff — including ServiceNow (NOW) and Thomson Reuters (TRI), and he also gives his take on Constellation Software (CSU) as he outlines how he separates true value opportunities from potential value traps.

In Pro Picks, Jonathan shares three high-conviction ideas that reflect his diversified, valuation-driven approach. He highlights Carlisle Companies (CSL), a quietly dominant industrial with strong returns on capital; MercadoLibre (MELI), a leading Latin American e-commerce and fintech platform with years of growth runway; and Sprott Inc. (SII), a leveraged way to participate in a broad commodity and precious-metals cycle through asset management rather than direct exposure.

Tech is starting to crack and value is outperforming. Where should you be positioned? On this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the show heads to Phoenix, Arizona for a special on-the-road episode with Bill and Cole Smead of Smead Capital Management, the father-son investing team behind $5.5 billion in assets under management. In a wide-ranging and candid conversation, the duo explains why today’s market setup looks increasingly fragile and where disciplined value investors are still finding opportunity. 

Amber digs into Smead’s eight criteria for stock selection, how insider ownership and capital allocation drive long-term returns, and why years of crowding into passive strategies and the S&P 500 have quietly increased risk. They argue that the forces that powered years of U.S. outperformance — concentration, momentum, and passive flows — now look increasingly vulnerable. From the parallels between today’s AI spending boom and the telecom bubble of the late 1990s to their view that capital-intensive tech could face declining returns, Bill and Cole make the case that history may not repeat — but it certainly rhymes.

The discussion also explores why international markets look more compelling than the U.S., how under-owned sectors like financials, healthcare, housing, and commodities could benefit from mean reversion, and why owning unpopular assets — and holding winners longer than feels comfortable — remains central to their approach.

In the Mailbag, the Smeads tackle viewer questions and specific stocks across regions and sectors, including European banks Barclays (BARC) and UniCredit (UCG), healthcare giant Merck (MRK), and Canadian energy names Cenovus Energy (CVE) and Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE). They explain why scars from past cycles often create today’s best opportunities — and where investors should still be cautious.

In Pro Picks, Bill and Cole share several high-conviction ideas that reflect their current positioning, including regional bank Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), U.S. healthcare leader UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Canadian oil producer Strathcona Resources (SCR), and Canadian lumber company West Fraser Timber (WFG) — names they believe offer attractive long-term value supported by balance sheets, capital discipline, and structural tailwinds.

Investors are talking about a “sell America” trade — but is the U.S. really done, or is this just another moment where global diversification finally pays? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Jeff Elliott, Managing Director and Head of Global Equity at BMO Global Asset Management, to break down how a bottom-up stock picker is navigating today’s volatile, policy-driven markets.

Jeff explains why last year’s global outperformance wasn’t about abandoning the U.S., but about fundamentals — earnings growth, valuation discipline, and avoiding crowded trades. He shares how his team broadens exposure to Europe, emerging markets, and Canada without making top-down regional bets, and why portfolio construction matters just as much as finding the right stocks.

Healthcare takes centre stage as Jeff draws on his deep sector expertise to unpack one of the most politically exposed — and misunderstood — areas of the market. He explains why policy noise can create sharp dislocations without permanently damaging businesses, and how active managers look for mispriced opportunities across pharma, biotech, and med-tech while others retreat from the sector.

In the Mailbag, Jeff cuts through policy-driven volatility across several heavily debated names. He explains why Medicare Advantage headlines have punished UnitedHealth (UNH), why a low valuation and big dividend aren’t enough for Pfizer (PFE), and why Eli Lilly (LLY) still stands out for durable growth. He also weighs in on Moderna (MRNA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), and Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL), showing how fundamentals — not headlines — ultimately determine where volatility creates opportunity.

In Pro Picks, Jeff highlights three high-conviction healthcare ideas where he sees durable growth despite policy noise. He starts with Boston Scientific (BSX), explaining why its leadership in atrial fibrillation treatment and med-tech innovation continues to drive long-term opportunity. He also revisits Eli Lilly (LLY), outlining why its depth in GLP-1s and next-generation therapies gives it a stronger growth runway than peers. Rounding out the picks is UCB (UCB.BR), a lesser-known European biotech where Jeff sees a transformative drug pipeline that could meaningfully change the company’s growth profile over the coming years.

If you’re trying to understand how to invest globally without chasing headlines — and how active stock picking really works when policy risk and volatility dominate — this is a conversation worth watching.

What if the biggest risk to the S&P 500 isn’t a recession, rates, or geopolitics — but the way we invest?

Amber Kanwar sits down with Michael Green, Portfolio Manager & Chief Strategist, Simplify Asset Management , to unpack a provocative — and deeply unsettling — idea: under certain conditions, the S&P 500 could theoretically go to zero. Not because every company fails, but because market structure breaks.

Green explains how the explosive growth of passive investing has quietly changed how markets behave, why flows now matter more than fundamentals, and how index-driven buying can amplify momentum on the way up — and instability on the way down. Drawing on his famously prescient call on the collapse of the XIV volatility ETF, Green walks through the math behind systemic “zero events,” why they become self-catalyzing, and why policymakers — not individual investors — ultimately own this risk.

The conversation also dives into gold and commodities as flow-driven markets, the role demographics play in shaping inflation and asset prices, and why machines — not humans — may be the dominant drivers of future demand. Green lays out why electricity-hungry systems like data centers are reshaping commodity demand, why traditional “human food” commodities face long-term headwinds, and how structural shortages can quietly drive inflation higher.

In Pro Picks, Green explains how these themes are expressed through ETFs managed by Simplify Asset Management. He walks through the Simplify High-Yield ETF (CDX) and how its structure emphasizes endogenous cash flow, outlines how the Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA) uses a systematic trend-following approach to navigate volatile, flow-driven markets, and discusses how the Simplify Commodities Strategy No K-1 ETF (HARD) is designed to capture broad commodity trends, including rising demand for machine-driven resources like electricity. He also breaks down the role of gold as a flow-dominated asset and explains how the Simplify Gold Strategy Plus Income ETF (YGLD) is structured to generate income while helping cushion downside through options.

This is not a call to panic — it’s a framework for understanding the hidden mechanics shaping today’s markets, and the extreme tail risks most investors never consider.

In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber is joined by Sam LaBell, Portfolio Manager at Veritas Asset Management, for a brutally honest reality check on what investors own — and why some of those positions may be riskier than they look.

Sam digs into how investors should think about today’s biggest macro risks, from tariffs and geopolitics to slowing growth and stretched valuations, and explains why owning “popular” stocks can quietly increase risk rather than reduce it.

Sam also shares his view on gold, arguing that the rally still has legs as central bank demand and investor flows remain supportive — but that this stage of the cycle demands discipline, even as gold stocks remain undervalued despite a massive run.

In the Mailbag, Sam weighs in on Barrick Mining (ABX) and whether activist involvement can unlock further value, Bombardier (BBD.B) after a massive run, and Fairfax Financial (FFH) — explaining why the stock was attractive when returns on equity were improving, but why softer insurance conditions and today’s valuation now change the risk-reward. He also walks through his evolving view on Constellation Software (CSU), where AI introduces long-term uncertainty investors can’t yet model, and shares his perspective on Canadian telecoms including Rogers Communications (RCI.B), BCE (BCE), and TELUS (T).

Sam also explains why he’s short Shopify (SHOP) — not because the business is broken, but because expectations remain extreme and even a modest slowdown in growth could pressure the stock, making risk management essential.

In Pro Picks, Sam shares three high-conviction names he owns in the portfolio: WSP Global (WSP), a global engineering and consulting platform positioned to benefit from long-term infrastructure spending; GE HealthCare (GEHC), a misunderstood healthcare spinout with growing AI and software potential; and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN), a defensive, cash-generating business with steady growth and one of the cleanest accounting profiles in the Brookfield universe.

Distribution yields are calculated by using the most recent regular distribution, or expected distribution, (which may be based on income, dividends, return of capital, and option premiums, as applicable) and excluding additional year end distributions, and special reinvested distributions annualized for frequency, divided by current net asset value (NAV). The yield calculation does not include reinvested distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed, may fluctuate and are subject to change and/or elimination. Distribution rates may change without notice (up or down) depending on market conditions and NAV fluctuations. The payment of distributions should not be confused with the BMO ETF’s performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by a BMO ETF are greater than the performance of the investment fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a BMO ETF, and income and dividends earned by a BMO ETF, are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.

 

Cash distributions, if any, on units of a BMO ETF (other than accumulating units or units subject to a distribution reinvestment plan) are expected to be paid primarily out of dividends or distributions, and other income or gains, received by the BMO ETF less the expenses of the BMO ETF, but may also consist of non-taxable amounts including returns of capital, which may be paid in the manager’s sole discretion. To the extent that the expenses of a BMO ETF exceed the income generated by such BMO ETF in any given month, quarter, or year, as the case may be, it is not expected that a monthly, quarterly, or annual distribution will be paid. Certain BMO ETFs have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, which provides that a unitholder may elect to automatically reinvest all cash distributions paid on units held by that unitholder in additional units of the applicable BMO ETF in accordance with the terms of the distribution reinvestment plan.

Prime Minister Mark Carney declared a new world order at Davos this week, what does that mean for your money? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with David Picton, CEO of PICTON Investments, Canada’s largest hedge fund, to unpack what a shifting global order means for investors.

From the breakdown of the traditional 60/40 portfolio to the growing role of alternatives, Picton argues that investors are navigating a fundamentally different market regime. He explains why stocks and bonds no longer provide the diversification they once did, how inflation and massive fiscal spending are changing correlations, and why portfolio construction now matters as much as individual security selection. Picton outlines a He outlines his firm’s 40/30/30 framework  blending equities, bonds, and alternatives for a more flexible, total-portfolio approach that treats assets as return streams rather than rigid categories — an evolution he believes is essential as volatility, policy uncertainty, and global fragmentation reshape markets.

In Pro Picks, Picton highlights Rocket Companies (RKT) as a high-conviction idea that reflects his firm’s framework. He explains why Rocket’s scale, data advantage, and aggressive use of AI position it to benefit from consolidation in the U.S. mortgage market, especially as refinancing activity eventually returns and housing affordability becomes a political priority. As a bonus, Picton also discusses why his firm is increasingly cautious on big-cap technology, arguing that the easy phase of the AI trade is over and that selective short exposure may now play a role as winners and losers begin to separate.
