In the Money with Amber Kanwar Archiv

Long-term investing, Barry Schwartz reminds us, is a simple math problem that most investors overcomplicate — and as a self-described permabull, he’s here to explain why staying constructive matters even in the years that test you. Amber and the President & CIO of Baskin Wealth Management dig into the final trading month of the year as Barry breaks down why earnings growth powered the 2025 rally, why double-digit profit growth is still ahead, and why one off-trend year never justifies abandoning a sound philosophy. He also opens up about Baskin’s performance, the pressure of chasing the index, and why he still won’t touch gold miners despite their monster gains.

Barry tackles viewer questions head-on, starting with Canadian banks at record highs, explaining why National Bank (NA.TO) and Royal Bank (RY.TO) have earned their premium and why he’s not rushing back into TD Bank (TD.TO). He then digs into Telus (T.TO) and the broader telco group, calling out how attractive dividends can mask weak cash flow and rising leverage. On CN Rail (CNR.TO), he respects the long-term durability but sees better growth elsewhere. He weighs in on Constellation Software’s (CSU.TO) rare pullback, why slower growth doesn’t mean the compounding story is over, and why this may be a chance to add, not bail. On Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), he pushes back on worries about Buffett’s growing cash pile and argues the long-term thesis remains intact. He also revisits his long-term energy favourites Tourmaline (TOU.TO) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), explaining why he still prefers these disciplined, founder-influenced compounders over the “sexier” high-beta names that have led the recent energy trade.

Barry revisits his February recommendations — Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta (META) — and explains why he stayed steady even when Meta sold off, pointing to its 26 percent revenue growth as evidence that AI is already paying off inside the business. Then he turns to what he’s buying now: TFI International (TFII.TO), where he sees powerful upside once one of the worst freight recessions in years finally bottoms; Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO), which he believes is regaining momentum as U.S. stores improve and fresh food lifts margins; and Restaurant Brands International (QSR.TO), where Burger King’s turnaround and international expansion could finally unlock a stock that has traded in a range for too long. Each idea reflects the same discipline behind his past winners: buying great businesses when the market temporarily misprices them and letting time and compounding do the heavy lifting.

Gold is hovering near record highs, the market is begging for a rate cut, and AI is reshaping every corner of the economy. But are investors seeing the full picture? Amber sits down with Bipan Rai, Managing Director, Head of ETF & Alternatives Strategy at BMO Global Asset Management  for an unfiltered macro conversation at a moment when investors are looking for answers and clarity.

Bipan breaks down why markets abruptly priced in an aggressive December Fed cut despite an unclear jobs picture distorted by the U.S. government shutdown. He also explains why political pressure on the Federal Reserve is becoming impossible to ignore and how easily a poorly timed cut could become a policy mistake.

AI becomes the first major theme of the conversation. Bipan explains why the broad AI beta trade is ending and how debt financed spending is starting to separate real winners from firms with stretched balance sheets. The market may finally be waking up to these differences and he argues that this shift toward a more selective environment is actually a sign of long term health.

Gold is the other force that has defined 2025. Bipan breaks down why the metal’s record run has been powered mostly by retail and institutional ETF flows rather than central banks and why gold’s pause at the top is not a sign the move is over. He goes through the supply and demand math and explains why he still sees a path to gold reaching 4500 by mid 2026.

They also dig into Canada’s massive fiscal push, the USMCA wildcard, the mortgage renewal wall, and why global infrastructure spending is becoming one of the most durable multi-year investment themes.

In Pro Picks, Bipan brings three ETF ideas tied directly to the macro forces shaping markets right now. He starts with the BMO Gold Bullion ETF (ZGLD), which offers pure exposure to gold as it hovers near record levels. He then introduces the BMO Gold Bullion Covered Call Spread ETF (ZWGD), a strategy built to maintain upside participation in gold while generating meaningful yield by selling call spreads. And for investors looking to position for global fiscal stimulus, he highlights the BMO Global Infrastructure Fund ETF (BGIF), a portfolio of essential infrastructure exposure from pipelines to utilities to communication towers benefiting from governments racing to upgrade aging systems.

In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Bob Elliott, Co-Founder, CEO & CIO of Unlimited and formerly a member of the Investment Committee at Bridgewater Associates, where he led Ray Dalio’s investment research team. Few people understand hedge funds and macro the way Bob does — and he brings that depth straight into this conversation.

Bob explains how Unlimited Funds uses proprietary machine-learning technology to create ETFs that replicate the returns of alternative investments — like hedge funds, all with notably lower fees. Amber digs into how this works, why individual hedge fund managers don’t outperform each other, and how Unlimited tracks the “wisdom of the crowd” in real time.

From the chaotic Fed reaction function, to the U.S. macro data vacuum, to the truth behind the AI “investment boom” and the emerging risks in credit markets — Bob breaks down where the economy really stands and what most investors are missing. He also explains why household spending power is rolling over, what gold’s surge says about the market, and how hedge funds are actually positioned today.

In a different type of Pro Picks, Amber walks through Bob’s full ETF lineup — including HFND, the Multi-Strategy Return Tracker; HFGM, the Global Macro ETF; HFEQ, the Equity Long/Short ETF; and HFMF, the Managed Futures ETF — and explores how these strategies can complement portfolios and even outperform in both rising and falling markets.

If you want a clear, grounded, brutally honest look at the macro landscape — from someone who’s seen it from inside the world’s largest hedge fund — this is the episode to watch.

#IntheMoney #Investing #StockMarket #CanadianInvesting #FinancialNews

It’s been a rough ride for Canadian small-cap growth stocks, and investors are looking for answers. Jordan Zinberg of Bedford Park Capital is back on In the Money with Amber Kanwar to break down what’s driving the selloff, where the fear is justified, and where the market is simply mispricing good businesses.

Zinberg says it’s not just a selloff — it’s a moment where quality is out of style, sentiment is washed out, and solid businesses are being treated like broken ones. He notes small-cap growth stocks, his corner of the market, have been hurt particularly hard but believes it’s unjustified. 

Amber and Jordan dive deep into goeasy (GSY) — a stock Jordan’s followers know well. It’s been caught in the crossfire of a short report, a spike in provisions, and a wave of negative sentiment. Jordan explains what the report gets wrong, what the numbers actually signal, and why the underlying business hasn’t broken even if the share price has.

Then it’s on to a rare large-cap name, Constellation Software (CSU), a Canadian outperformer that has recently stumbled. Jordan walks through the two real pressures on the stock — AI anxiety around its vertical software businesses and the psychological impact of CEO Mark Leonard stepping back — and why he recently bought more for the first time in years.

The mailbag covers NTG Clarity Networks (NCI), where delayed contracts pushed margins around; VitalHub (VHI), a strong operator still trading at a premium Jordan won’t pay; and Kraken Robotics (PNG) versus Zedcor (ZDC), two small-cap darlings with huge runs but multiples he can’t justify. And yes, he brings back the line he lives by: EBITDA is still “bullshit earnings.”

We look back at Jordan’s past picks, Source Energy (SHLE) and Mainstreet Equity (MEQ), two stocks he still likes and owns and in Pro Picks he tells us why he’s still all-in on Propel Holdings (PRL) , the non-prime lender is also a former pick and a widely followed name amongst Jordan’s loyal fans. In addition to Propel, he offers two other Canadian small-cap names he likes right now; Lumine (LMN), his “baby Constellation,” and Zoomd (ZOMD), the Israeli ad-tech name quietly landing blue-chip clients and accelerating fast.

A sharp, honest look at Canadian small caps right when investors need clarity the most.

This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Canoe Financial’s David Szybunka makes a bold call: we’re only in year 5 of a 15-year bull market for energy. David explains why the last three years were just a “digestive phase,” why energy stocks are quietly outperforming even with $60 oil, and why he sees the cycle shifting from disbelief to the early stages of optimism. He breaks down the flows, the fundamentals, and the global capital piling back into Canadian energy—from private equity to pension funds to supermajors—regardless of the prevailing political narrative. The message is clear: scarcity is real, capital is returning, and the setup only gets stronger from here.

From there, Amber and David dig into the mailbag, tackling names investors are debating right now. They break down Whitecap (WCP) and its growing dividend strategy, ABEX Technologies (ABXX) and the structural LNG shift behind its explosive run, South Bow (SBOW) and whether its high yield signals opportunity, ARC Resources (ARX) and what the market misunderstood about Attachie, Athabasca (ATH) and whether its surge puts it in takeover territory, and Imperial (IMO), whose refining strength has driven massive outperformance versus the rest of the sector.

The conversation then rolls seamlessly into David’s Pro Picks, where he lays out how he’s positioning for the next leg of the cycle. He highlights why CES Energy Solutions (CEU) is a mispriced, market-share-gaining service company that doesn’t need higher oil to re-rate; why he thinks investors should own Clearwater names—Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE) and Headwater Exploration(HWX)—given fast payouts, reservoir enhancements, and long free-cash runways; and why PrairieSky (PSK) and Topaz (TPZ), two of the sector’s premier royalty plays, remain undervalued compounders that bring stability and upside to an energy portfolio. He closes with Tourmaline (TOU), making the long-term gas case and explaining why it’s the kind of stock where long-horizon investors could “park capital and wake up rich.”

If you want to understand where the energy cycle is really headed—and why David believes the biggest gains are still ahead—this episode connects every dot.

AI has driven tech stocks to new heights — but are we starting to see cracks in the story? Amber Kanwar sits down with Shane Obata of Middlefield to find out whether the AI trade is running out of steam or just gearing up for its next phase. From Nvidia’s dominance to rising capital costs across the sector, Shane explains where investors should stay cautious and where the next wave of profits could come from — and why, in this market, all roads still lead to OpenAI.

In the Mailbag, Shane weighs in on AMD (AMD) and its new deal with OpenAI, why Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) still shines despite China risks, and how Salesforce (CRM) stacks up against Microsoft (MSFT) in the software wars. He breaks down Meta’s (META) need for a new “shiny object,” calls Apple (AAPL) the ultimate safety trade, and explains how Amazon (AMZN)’s rebound in AWS shows its AI story is far from over.

In Pro Picks, Shane shares three fresh ideas beyond the Mag 7: Samsung Electronics, poised to benefit from a global memory crunch; Take-Two Interactive (TTWO), ready to soar on the back of Grand Theft Auto VI; and Alibaba (BABA), a contrarian bet on China’s tech revival. He also reveals the theme he says will define 2026 — power — the hidden force driving the entire AI buildout.

This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, it’s a different kind of conversation — no portfolio managers, no mailbag, just an honest, wide-ranging “good hang” with two Canadian heavyweights.

Amber sits down with bestselling author Howard Green, whose book Gimme a Crisis tells the remarkable story of former Scotiabank CEO Rick Waugh, who joins the conversation too. Together, they dive into the moments that defined Canada’s banking system — and Waugh’s extraordinary career — from Argentina’s collapse to the 2008 financial crisis and what came after. Along the way, they unpack why Canada’s banks emerged as some of the strongest and most stable in the world — and what lessons that strength holds for the future.

It’s part history, part leadership masterclass, and part storytelling gold — a rare glimpse into how crises shape character, business, and a nation.

The Trump Trade is shaping the market right now. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar we sit down with Infrastructure Capital Management CEO Jay Hatfield to break down how the current wave of tariffs, deregulation, and government-backed investing is moving markets — and creating opportunities — in surprising places. From Washington’s national security bets to Silicon Valley’s political flip, this episode unpacks what the “Trump trade” means for stocks, sectors, and your portfolio.

Hatfield explains why America’s push into strategic industries like resources, chips, and AI is creating clear winners — and how to position yourself without getting caught in the hype. He also shares how “the Trump effect” is reigniting deal-making, unlocking private equity, and fueling what could be the next multi-year bull run.

From private equity giants to fast food staples, Jay takes listener questions on Brookfield (BN) vs. BlackRock (BLK) and whether private managers will dominate North American infrastructure. He breaks down why McDonald’s (MCD) could be a steady play for 2026, Pepsi (PEP) may have more upside after activist pressure from Elliott Management, and how Kimberly-Clark’s (KMB) deal for Kenvue (KVUE) could still deliver gains. Plus, his candid take on long-suffering Pfizer (PFE), why he trimmed his position in Broadcom (AVGO), utility players NextEra and Vistra (NEE, VST) and how to approach regional banks like Fifth Third (FITB) amid some credit fears.

In Pro Picks, Jay lays out his top “Trump trade” plays — KKR (KKR) and Apollo (APO) — benefit directly from deregulation, renewed M&A activity, and a friendlier environment for private capital. He’s still bullish on Amazon (AMZN) as a cost-cutting story with cloud upside, and sees big opportunity in Marvell (MRVL), a cheaper AI chip play that’s been unfairly punished.

While everyone’s chasing the next tech trend, Kelsey Dunwoodie is digging where Canada’s real wealth—and entrepreneurial spirit—lies: in the ground. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Deans Knight Capital Management portfolio manager lays out the bullish case for Canada’s great resource comeback. From gold miners to natural gas producers, she argues the next wave of growth will come from small and mid-cap companies built by hands-on founders who’ve weathered every boom and bust.

She breaks down why gold producers are flush with cash, how energy companies are positioning for the next upcycle, and why she’s steering clear of the rare earths hype—for now.

 Kelsey fields questions across the resource landscape. She explains why she once owned Foran Mining (FOM.TO) but now prefers Taseko Mines (TKO.TO) for its consistent operations and better valuation. In forestry, she’s staying loyal to West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO), praising its management and ability to outperform through any housing cycle. On royalties, she says Franco-Nevada (FNV.TO) and Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM.TO) are proven powerhouses but highlights Topaz Energy (TPZ.TO) in the energy space. She also discusses Osisko Metals (OM.TO) and its Gaspe Copper Project, calling it a story to watch, and points to Equinox Gold (EQX.TO) as her largest gold position—a miner shifting from spending to strong cash generation.

 Dunwoodie closes the show with three under-the-radar Canadian resource stocks she believes are set to outperform. Champion Iron (CIA.TO) leads the list, an iron ore miner entering a new phase of higher-margin, low-carbon production. She names Denison Mines (DML.TO) as her favorite way to play the uranium boom and global nuclear buildout. And rounding it out, Paramount Resources (POU.TO)—a family-run natural gas producer growing more than 20% a year without needing to raise a dime.

In this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, taped live from Vancouver at Raymond James’ National Business Conference, Amber sits down with Larry Adam, Chief Investment Officer at Raymond James Financial, who oversees more than $1.5 trillion in assets. Larry shares why he’s still bullish on equities, why fundamentals—not feelings—drive his outlook, and why he believes this bull market has years left to run.

They dig into it all — from AI’s staying power and rate cuts fueling growth, to whether gold’s rally has gone too far, and how fiscal policy, tariffs, and national security priorities are shaping markets. Larry also explains how investors should think about inflation, small caps, and the growing dominance of U.S. mega-cap tech — and where the next leg of market leadership could come from. 

Larry’s Pro Picks highlight the sectors he believes will drive returns through 2026: Technology, Industrials, and Healthcare. From the ongoing AI revolution and global defense spending to the demographic demand powering healthcare innovation, he breaks down why these areas could remain the cornerstones of investor portfolios in the next phase of the bull market.

Larry strikes a confident but disciplined tone — reminding investors that while volatility may return, the long-term fundamentals remain strong. He’s staying the course, trusting the data over the noise, and betting that the best of this bull market is still ahead.

Can you really have it all — growth and income? Rob Lauzon, Chief Investment Officer at Middlefield, says yes. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, he explains why dividend stocks are finally back in the spotlight — and why some of the biggest opportunities may be hiding in the most unloved corners of the market.

From oil producers to pipelines and REITs, Rob breaks down where he’s finding value, yield, and upside in a market obsessed with AI. He shares his outlook on oil, gold, and the political shift that could breathe new life into Canada’s resource sector — and why he believes energy investors are entering a new era of disciplined balance sheets and shareholder returns.

Amber and Rob tackle your questions on gold, pipelines (ENB, TRP, PPL), and energy names like Whitecap (WCP). They discuss possible tie-ups in the resource sector, with Rob suggesting a Barrick-Newmont deal could be a possibility. They also get into the outlook for REITs, from Dream Industrial (DIR.UN) to Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN), and discuss whether Equitable Bank (EQB) has become a contrarian buy after its recent pullback.

In Pro Picks, Rob shares three dividend-paying stocks that combine value, income, and serious upside — from Canadian Apartment REIT (CAR.UN) to Tourmaline (TOU) and U.S. regional bank Western Alliance (WAL). His theme this week? You can have it all — growth + income.

In a market obsessed with momentum and AI hype, Ryan Bushell is betting on something far less flashy — patience, discipline, and dividends. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Newhaven Asset Management CEO proves that being a younger investor with an old-school mindset can still outperform. His focus: companies that can compound for decades, not just quarters.

Bushell breaks down why rising power demand is reshaping the investment landscape and why “boring” sectors like utilities and infrastructure might hold the most exciting opportunities ahead. In the mailbag, he tackles listener questions on Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), he addresses the Cenovus–MEG–Strathcona saga, the Canadian banks, Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO), K-Bro Linen (KBL.TO), and Fortis (FTS.TO) — weighing where value still exists after record highs.

And in Pro Picks, Bushell shares his favourite long-term compounders hiding in plain sight: Pembina Pipeline (PPL.TO), ARC Resources (ARX.TO), and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN) — steady names built for investors who’d rather win slowly than chase the next flashy thing.

Stocks are at record highs — so why does it still feel like everyone’s on edge? Amber Kanwar sits down with Craig White, Senior Wealth Advisor and Portfolio Manager at Plena Wealth which is part of Raymond James, to unpack what he calls “the most unloved bull market ever.” They dig into how to stay invested when anxiety is high, why sentiment and fundamentals are clashing, and how his core vs. explore framework helps take the emotion out of investing.

In the Mailbag, Craig tackles listener questions on key trades shaping the market right now. He explains why gold’s massive run might be due for a breather, even as the long-term bull case remains intact. He breaks down the surprising strength in the Canadian banks — from TD (TD.TO) and RBC (RY.TO) to the rest of Canada’s dividend heavyweights — and what’s really driving those stocks higher. He also weighs in on whether the telcos are finally coming out of the penalty box, with Rogers (RCI.B.TO) leading the charge, and gives his take on U.S. names like Netflix (NFLX), Tesla (TSLA), and Intel (INTC). And yes — he even weighs in on Pool Corp (POOL) and what investors can learn from Warren Buffett’s latest buy.

In Pro Picks, Craig shares three of his top ideas for the months ahead. He’s buying Nike (NKE) as a turnaround story that’s getting back to its core business. He sees Intact Financial (IFC.TO) as a steady, underappreciated compounder with world-class management. And he’s backing Tourmaline (TOU.TO) as the best way to play the coming demand for natural gas — and the energy needed to power the AI revolution.

“The best of the bull market is still ahead of us.” That’s how Nick Griffin, Founding Partner and CIO of Munro Partners, sees it. The Australia-based global growth investor joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar to explain why the AI boom isn’t a bubble — it’s the start of a once-in-a-generation expansion. Griffin says we’re only in year three of a bull market that could last a decade, with trillions of dollars still to be spent building the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. From data centers and chipmakers to clean energy and sports entertainment, he breaks down where the biggest opportunities lie — and why staying optimistic could be the smartest move in markets right now.

He also weighs in on the U.S.–China trade war, why Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is both a risk and an opportunity, and how global tensions could shape the race to dominate AI.

In the Mailbag, Amber and Nick dive into listener questions on some of the world’s biggest growth names — including Shopify (SHOP) and its OpenAI partnership, Salesforce (CRM) and its fight to stay relevant, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) as an AI-in-healthcare leader, and why Mastercard (MA) continues to beat every disruption story thrown its way. Griffin also explains why Constellation Energy (CEG) has become an unlikely growth stock, and what he admits he got wrong about Palantir (PLTR).

In Pro Picks, Griffin shares his three highest-conviction ideas: Nvidia (NVDA), still his top holding even after its massive run; Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the battery giant powering the clean-energy transition; and TKO Group (TKO), the UFC–WWE parent company capitalizing on the unstoppable rise of live sports.
