Real estate is one of the most talked-about alternative investments — but what does it actually look like in practice?
In the second instalment of our special series on alternative investing, host Paige Ellis sits down with Lindsey Deluce, CTV Your Morning host and an active real estate investor building long-term wealth outside the stock market. Lindsey opens up about her real-world investing journey, from early renovations in Toronto to scaling a growing portfolio of multi-unit properties across Ontario.
Lindsey breaks down the BRRRR strategy — buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat — and explains how she uses renovations, tenant turnover, and creative financing to unlock equity and grow her portfolio. She shares how her approach evolved after the pandemic, why she moved beyond Toronto, and how she evaluates cash flow and risk in today’s market.
This conversation goes beyond theory. Lindsey gets candid about hearing “no” from banks, navigating appraisals, working with alternative lenders, and why building the right team — from contractors to mortgage brokers — is critical to success. She also shares her ambitious “50 by 50” goal and how she’s using real estate to create generational wealth.
If you’re curious how real estate fits into the broader world of alternative investing — and what it really takes to make the numbers work — this episode offers a practical, behind-the-scenes look from someone doing it in real time.

What if the biggest investing opportunities aren’t in stocks at all?
This episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar kicks off a brand-new special series on Alternative Investing, starting with a candid conversation between Amber and longtime colleague Paige Ellis, who takes over hosting duties for the series. Together, they set the stage for why private markets, once reserved for institutions and ultra-wealthy investors, are rapidly moving into the mainstream — and what that shift means for everyday portfolios.
Paige is then joined by Mario Giannini, Executive Co-Chairman of Hamilton Lane, a private markets powerhouse overseeing nearly $1 trillion in assets. Drawing on decades of experience, Giannini explains why public companies are disappearing, why private capital now dominates everything from AI implementation to infrastructure, and how investors should think about illiquidity not as a flaw, but as a feature.
The conversation tackles some of the most pressing questions investors have about alternatives: how much of a portfolio should be allocated to private assets, why private credit has quietly outperformed for years, what risks are misunderstood, and why evergreen structures are reshaping access for high-net-worth and retail investors alike. Giannini also weighs in on AI valuations, secondaries, infrastructure, Canada’s investment outlook, and why future growth in private markets may be driven by individuals rather than institutions.
This is the first episode in a three-part deep dive into alternatives — a reset on how capital is allocated in a world where the most valuable companies may never go public.

What does real wealth management look like when your biggest asset isn’t your portfolio — but your business, your family, and your time?
On this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Danielle Martin, Senior Wealth Advisor and Portfolio Manager, ScotiaMcLeod, who specializes in working with business owners, dentists, and medical professionals with complex financial lives. Together, they move beyond stock picking and into the realities of holistic wealth planning — from tax strategy and insurance to legacy planning, work-life balance, and peace of mind.
Danielle explains why entrepreneurs think differently about money, why many invest almost everything back into their businesses, and how that mindset can create blind spots if not properly managed. She shares the “crystal ball” she’s developed over decades of advising business owners — the common pitfalls, emotional traps, and distractions that can derail long-term financial success — and how structure and simplicity help clients stay the course.
The conversation also explores major life moments that don’t show up on a balance sheet: maternity leave as a financial event, building a career without a pension, raising a family while running a business, and why trust and listening matter just as much as returns. Danielle reflects on being one of the only women in her training class decades ago, and why wealth management today is becoming a far more human — and inclusive — profession.

We’re getting festive on this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar — and instead of our usual portfolio manager chat, Amber and executive producer Jillian Glickman take a step back to look at what really mattered this year: which stocks worked, which didn’t, and which fund managers actually delivered when it counted.
After launching the podcast from scratch just a year ago, the team revisits the show’s biggest moments, from standout interviews and surprise headlines to the stocks and themes that defined the year. They break down the best and worst performers across the show, reveal which investing styles thrived in a volatile market, and take an honest look at where conviction paid off — and where it didn’t.
The episode culminates in a special interview with In the Money with Amber Kanwar’s best-performing fund manager of the year, Daniel Lewis of Orange Capital. Known for his contrarian, special-situations approach, Lewis explains why distressed and misunderstood businesses delivered some of the biggest returns, notably Better Home & Finance's +300% showing (BETR) — and shares two brand-new stock ideas he believes could be next.
It’s part year-end report card, part behind-the-scenes reflection, and part forward-looking playbook — the perfect way to close out the year and set the stage for what’s next.
Happy holidays from In the Money with Amber Kanwar — and thank you for being part of the journey.

Artificial intelligence has been hyped, doubted, celebrated, and questioned — but very few people understand it from the inside out.
On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Malcolm White, Portfolio Manager, BMO Global Asset Management, to cut through the noise around the AI boom and explain what’s actually happening beneath the headlines. From the launch of ChatGPT to today’s trillion-dollar AI infrastructure buildout, Malcolm breaks down why this moment is fundamentally different — and why many investors still don’t fully grasp the technology driving it.
Drawing on his experience as both a former AI programmer and portfolio manager, Malcolm explains why AI adoption is moving faster than anything he’s seen before, how skepticism around valuations, capex, and so-called “AI bubbles” often misses the mark, and why physical constraints — power, data centers, and compute — matter just as much as software. He offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how AI models are trained, why data is the new gold, and what investors get wrong about chips, depreciation, and commoditization.
In the Mailbag, Malcolm weighs in on some of the most talked-about names in the AI ecosystem, including Broadcom (AVGO), Reddit (RDDT), SanDisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC), and Celestica (CLS). He explains why volatility is rising even as the AI capex cycle remains intact, how investors should think about pullbacks versus broken theses, and why certain “boring” infrastructure plays are quietly benefiting from massive shifts in data, memory, and storage demand.
In Pro Picks, Malcolm lays out three high-conviction ideas tied to different stages of the AI and innovation cycle. He explains why Nvidia's (NVDA) fundamentals continue to be misunderstood despite its dominant position, why memory and semiconductors remain critical bottlenecks, and why Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) offers an underappreciated catch-up opportunity. He also looks further out to the next frontier with a deep dive into quantum computing, including why pre-IPO Xanadu Quantum Technologies stands out — and why investors should treat the space with both curiosity and caution.

Long term investing sounds simple until the market throws fear, noise, bubbles, tariffs, and headlines at you. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Winnie Go, Senior Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager with Scotia Wealth Management, for a grounded, battle-tested conversation shaped by her 30 years in the markets.
Winnie breaks down why high-quality companies, discipline, and diversification—not hype—are what actually build wealth over decades. She explains how she navigated the fear of 2008, what today’s bubble chatter gets wrong, why tech and gold can rally together in this strange new market, and why selling too early is one of the most common investor mistakes.
They dig into what’s working now: earnings growth, overlooked sectors like healthcare, the steady strength of Canadian dividends, and why “boring” names in financials and utilities often win the long game. She also shares what she avoids completely and how investor behavior has shifted—especially for women—over the course of her career.

What if the next big bull market isn’t in tech or AI stocks — but in commodities?
On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Hussein Allidina, Head of Commodities at TD Asset Management, for one of the most comprehensive conversations about commodities after an explosive year.
Hussein argues that we’re still in the early stages of a multi-year commodity upcycle, driven by chronic underinvestment, rising global demand, and a world that needs far more energy, metals and power infrastructure than we’re currently capable of producing. He explains why commodities zig when everything else zags, how they deliver real inflation protection, and why a 5–10% allocation may be the most overlooked tool in modern portfolio construction.
From why oil may first trade down into the $40 range before setting up for a powerful rebound, to why natural gas could become the quiet backbone of AI, Hussein delivers a masterclass in understanding cycles, supply constraints, and how capital is flowing into the wrong parts of the system. And yes — we get into gold. Why it’s not an inflation hedge, why central banks can’t stop buying it, and why he believes “we see $5,000/oz before we see $2,000/oz.” Amber and Hussein also explore the long cycles in the U.S. dollar, the rise in military and infrastructure spending, and how electrification and data centres will reshape global commodity demand over the next decade.
In Pro Picks, Hussein lays out three clear calls: a tactical short in soybeans as speculative flows unwind, a strategic long oil position over the next 6–12 months as inventories tighten and spare capacity shrinks, and a long-term bullish view on copper over the next five to seven years driven by some of the strongest structural demand forces in the market. It’s a roadmap for anyone trying to navigate commodities with a professional lens.
If you’ve ever wondered how to think about commodities like a pro — or whether now is the moment to finally add them to your portfolio — this episode is for you.

The final Fed decision of 2025 may set the tone for the entire 2026 market — and today on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, portfolio manager Brianne Gardner joins Amber to break down what really matters for investors right now. From earnings strength to sector rotation to how much weight you should put on Powell’s language ahead of a potential Fed chair transition, Brianne lays out her top-down roadmap for the year ahead.
She also walks through how she’s positioning client portfolios — why the U.S. still earns the biggest weighting, how her team uses downside-capture targets to protect wealth, and why falling rates could unleash a flood of sidelined cash into equities in 2026.
Then it’s time for a busy mailbag, where Brianne weighs in on NFI Group (NFI.TO), Boston Scientific (BSX), Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO), Rogers (RCI.B.TO), EQB (EQB.TO), Netflix (NFLX) and Oracle (ORCL) — breaking down which names she’s avoiding, which ones she’s actively vetting, and where she sees undervalued stability versus pure momentum risk.
In Pro Picks, Brianne reveals a theme she didn’t even set out to create — market darlings that have pulled back and now offer compelling entry points. She starts with Capital Power (CPX.TO), calling the recent weakness a rare chance to buy a major Canadian power producer at an attractive valuation as it upgrades its fleet and extends asset life. Next is TMX Group (X.TO), a long-term winner that’s dipped on slower IPO activity but continues to deliver double-digit growth in its expanding data and analytics business. And finally, she makes the case for Meta (META), where she used the latest pullback to add to her position, citing strength in core advertising, the monetization of Reels, and meaningful AI-driven engagement tailwinds.

In this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, we team up with The Scotiabank Women Initiative. Amber sits down with Swanzy Quarshie, Managing Director of Equities, Global Investment Solutions at Scotia Wealth Management, for a wide-ranging look at the biggest force in markets today: the AI boom.
Swanzy breaks down why equity markets are soaring even as the underlying economy lags, and how much of that strength traces back to AI optimism. She digs into the staggering amount of power and water the AI buildout requires, the limits on how quickly that energy can be supplied, and what happens if AI adoption doesn’t keep pace with the infrastructure being built.
They explore whether AI can truly deliver the productivity gains companies are banking on, why some sectors are already seeing real benefits, and how the next wave of AI winners may come from outside the hyperscalers — in places like consultants, utilities, and financials that learn to integrate AI effectively.
If you want a clear, grounded take on the realities behind the AI frenzy — and where the lasting opportunities could emerge — this episode is a must-watch.

We’re looking ahead to the crucial Fed decision next week — and the central bank may be on a collision course with the market, with inflation, and possibly with its own incoming leadership.
Amber sits down with Dustin Reid, Chief Strategist, Fixed Income at Mackenzie Investments for a wide-ranging and deeply insightful breakdown of what’s about to hit the economy. Reid explains why chaotic Fed communication set the stage for this moment, why the December cut might be the last one for a long time, and what happens if the next Fed chair cuts rates no matter what the data says.
They dig into the true state of the U.S. economy, the K-shaped consumer, whether inflation is really stuck near 3%, and how tariff pass-through and aggressive fiscal stimulus could complicate the path ahead.
Then the focus shifts to Canada, where Reid argues the Bank of Canada is not done — predicting at least two more cuts by June 2026 as the country confronts a cooling housing market, stalled population growth, and wildly conflicting job data. He breaks down why labour market figures are sending opposite signals, how Blue Jays mania distorted the numbers, and what the real picture looks like under the surface.
Amber and Dustin dive into how AI megacap spending has become a bigger driver of U.S. growth than the consumer, whether cracks in the AI trade will first show up in credit, why Oracle’s CDS spike may be more idiosyncratic than systemic, where private credit stress could ripple next, and how USMCA brinkmanship could impact Canadian markets in 2026.
In the Mailbag, Dustin gives his thoughts on the TLT, unpacks the truth about de-dollarization, and explains whether target-maturity bond funds really make sense for retail investors.
And in Pro Picks, he lays out his highest-conviction positioning for 2026: long the Canadian front end, short the U.S. front end, and why the EM FX carry could be one of the most overlooked opportunities for Canadian investors.

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 Bipin 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.
Bipin 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. Bipin 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. Bipin 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, Bipin 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.

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.
