    “Barbarians at the Moat”: How Disruption Is Reshaping the Best Stocks to Own

    The market isn’t just rotating—it’s being rewritten. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Paul Moroz, Portfolio Manager at Mawer Investment Management which has more than $65 billion in AUM, explains why we’ve entered an era of “change investing,” where the biggest opportunities—and risks—come from rapid shifts in technology, competitive advantage, and capital intensity. From AI disrupting software to semiconductors becoming a larger share of the global economy, Moroz breaks down how investors can navigate a market where “barbarians are at the moat” and not every dominant company is safe. He also shares why balancing optimism with caution is key, and how to position a portfolio that can win no matter how this cycle plays out. In the Mailbag, Moroz weighs in on some of today’s most debated stocks, including Shopify (SHOP), where strong growth wasn’t enough to satisfy elevated expectations, Amphenol (APH) and the copper vs. optical debate in AI infrastructure, eBay (EBAY) amid takeover speculation, and Caterpillar (CAT), which has quietly become an AI-adjacent play through data centre demand. He explains how expectations, valuation, and macro forces—from rising yields to energy prices—are driving stock reactions more than ever. In Pro Picks, Moroz highlights three names positioned to benefit from long-term structural trends. He makes the case for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) as the backbone of the AI ecosystem, argues that Amazon (AMZN) still has a culture-driven edge that can unlock future growth opportunities, and points to Bunzl (BNZL) as a steady compounder flying under the radar. Together, these picks reflect his strategy of balancing high-growth disruption with durable, cash-generating businesses. Whether you’re leaning into AI or looking for stability in a volatile market, this conversation offers a framework for investing in a world defined by constant change.

    Tech Stocks are Hot Again: What to Buy (and What to Sell)

    The Nasdaq 100 went from a seven-month low to a record high in April—posting its biggest monthly gain since 2002. But as tech stocks rip higher, Kieran Moore says the real opportunity isn’t owning everything… it’s knowing what to avoid. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Kieran Moore, Equity Partner & Portfolio Manager at Munro Partners, breaks down what’s really driving the explosive rebound in growth—and why he’s getting more selective, not less. He explains why AI demand is quietly surging beneath the surface, with usage (or “token demand”) tripling in just a few months, and how that’s creating massive winners—but also real disruption risk. Moore makes the case that this isn’t the end of the AI trade—it’s the beginning of a more nuanced phase, where earnings growth, not hype, will separate the winners from the losers. He also lays out why he’s taking a hard stance against software stocks right now—even exiting long-time winners like Microsoft (MSFT) and ServiceNow (NOW)—arguing that AI could start eating into traditional software revenues. At the same time, he highlights where the real leverage to this cycle sits: semiconductors, memory, and the AI supply chain, where bottlenecks are driving powerful multi-year growth. In the Mailbag, Moore tackles your top questions on Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), Constellation Software (CSU.TO), memory stocks like Micron (MU), Adobe (ADBE), and Cameco (CCJ). He explains why Nvidia can still work despite multiple compression, why he’s stepped aside from Meta despite its massive scale, and why Alphabet may still have room to run thanks to multiple AI growth levers. He also weighs in on whether memory stocks are in a new supercycle, why he’s avoiding software broadly, and how to think about energy plays tied to AI demand. In Pro Picks, Moore leans into the infrastructure powering the next wave of growth. He doubles down on Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) as a global leader in batteries tied to EVs and energy storage, highlights Lumentum (LITE) as a critical networking play enabling AI data centers, and points to Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) as a core bottleneck in the entire AI ecosystem. These are companies he believes can compound earnings as AI spending scales globally. If April proved anything, it’s that tech is back—but the easy money may already be made. The next move comes down to getting the right names.

    Beating the Market with Small-Caps: Cheap Stocks with Big Upside

    Small-cap stocks have significantly outperformed their large-cap peers so far this year but valuations remain at a massive discount, so what names should be on your radar? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Aubrey Hearn, Senior Vice-President, Portfolio Manager & Lead – U.S. & Small Cap Equities at CI Global Asset Management, makes the case that the small-cap opportunity is far from over. He explains why this is more than just a catch-up trade, pointing to a massive valuation gap where small caps are trading at a 30% discount to large caps despite typically commanding a premium. Hearn also breaks down why fundamentals have quietly remained strong beneath the surface, with many high-quality small caps delivering consistent earnings growth even as multiples compressed. He shares why a stronger U.S. economy, fiscal stimulus, and broader earnings growth beyond the “Magnificent 7” are now creating a much wider opportunity set for investors willing to look beyond mega-cap tech. In the Mailbag, Hearn tackles a range of investor questions across cyclicals, private equity, and AI exposure. He explains why he would buy TFI International (TFII) on a cyclical recovery in transport, outlines the hidden value inside Brookfield Business Corp. (BBUC), and makes the case for KKR (KKR) despite concerns around private credit. He also weighs in on the AI trade, warning that “you have way too much software if you own any,” while selectively adding exposure. On Canadian names, he discusses Celestica (CLS) as a picks-and-shovels AI play, breaks down the controversy around GFL Environmental (GFL), and calls Cargojet (CJT.TO) “stupid cheap” despite years of underperformance—highlighting its dominant market share and strong pricing power. In Pro Picks, Hearn leans into battleground stocks with asymmetric upside. He highlights Live Nation (LYV) as a long-term compounder driven by the global growth of live events, despite regulatory overhangs. He also makes a contrarian case for Pollard Banknote (PBL.TO), pointing to explosive growth in its iLottery business alongside deeply discounted valuation, and sees a turnaround opportunity in Colliers (CIGI) as commercial real estate activity recovers. Across all three ideas, the common thread is clear: misunderstood businesses, strong underlying fundamentals, and significant upside if sentiment shifts.

    Everyone is Getting the Energy Trade Wrong: $4 Billion Hedge Fund Manager

    Energy stocks are down over the past month despite the war in Iran. Tech stocks have come roaring back. But this hedge fund manager says the market has it all wrong. Jason Landau, Group Head, Executive Vice President & Portfolio Manager at Waratah Capital Advisors believes “the left tail in the market is totally mispriced” and says “the best hedge in the market today is being long oil.” On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Landau breaks down the two themes dominating the market right now, oil and AI. He tells us why markets may be underestimating geopolitical risk, how he’s positioning around oil, and why Brent crude—not WTI—is his preferred hedge. He also explains how to think about your positioning if the market is wrong on the Iran trade and why Canada could be a major long-term winner from global energy insecurity. Then, he gets into why tech is rallying, dives into the AI boom and tells us where he sees opportunity—and risk—across semiconductors and software. In the Mailbag, Landau shares his view on Lululemon Athletica (LULU) as a long-term turnaround story, breaks down the growth runway for Dollarama (DOL.TO), and weighs in on NVIDIA (NVDA) and the broader chip trade. He highlights opportunities in semiconductor equipment names like ASML Holding (ASML) and Applied Materials (AMAT), as well as GlobalFoundries (GFS). On the energy side, he discusses positioning in Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) and Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE.TO), and gives his take on airlines like Air Canada (AC.TO). In Pro Picks, Landau’s top ideas include an array of eclectic names. Cheniere Energy (LNG) as a play on global LNG demand and energy security, SharkNinja (SN) as a consumer disruptor driven by innovation and product expansion, and Welltower (WELL) as a long-term beneficiary of aging demographics and pricing power in senior housing.

    The Microcap Playbook: Finding 10x Stocks Before They Get Discovered

    The best opportunities in the market might be the ones no one is paying attention to — and that’s exactly where microcap investor Mathieu Martin is looking. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Mathieu Martin, Portfolio Manager for the Rivemont MicroCap Fund, to break down one of the most underfollowed — and potentially most lucrative — corners of the market. Martin explains why microcaps, often ignored by institutions and analysts, offer a unique edge for investors willing to do the work. Drawing on his unconventional path from poker to portfolio management, he shares how he identifies high-conviction ideas, builds deep fundamental insight, and finds companies that can grow from under $100 million to multi-billion dollar success stories. He also walks through the mindset required to handle volatility, why liquidity cycles matter more than fundamentals in the short term, and how improving conditions could set the stage for a new wave of microcap outperformance. In the Mailbag, Martin weighs in on some of the most intriguing small-cap names investors are watching right now. He revisits the remarkable run of Kraken Robotics (PNG.TO), explaining why he’s trimmed but still holds a small position, breaks down the risks and rapid growth behind Hydreight Technologies (NURS), and outlines both the opportunity and recent “yellow flags” surrounding Kits Eyecare (KITS.TO). He also discusses ADF Group (DRX.TO) and its potential to benefit from Canadian infrastructure spending despite tariff headwinds, shares his cautious take on Poet Technologies (POET) amid a short squeeze, and gives his outlook on Cineplex (CGX.TO) as the box office recovery gains momentum. In Pro Picks, Martin leans into one of his highest-conviction — and most controversial — themes: cannabis microcaps. After a brutal industry shakeout that saw widespread bankruptcies, he believes a new class of profitable, fast-growing players is emerging. He highlights Cannara Biotech (LOVE.TO) as a standout, pointing to its low-cost production, dominant Quebec market share, and strong growth trajectory. He also makes the case for Auxly Cannabis (XLY.TO), a turnaround story with improving margins, strong brands like Back Forty, and backing from strategic investor Imperial Brands. Beyond cannabis, he rounds out his picks with D-BOX Technologies (DBO.TO) as a unique way to play the movie theatre recovery through high-margin royalty revenue.

    If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them: How to Win in Small Caps by Investing Public AND Private

    If you can’t beat them, join them. That’s the mindset Marc Robinson brings to small cap investing right now. The Managing Director at FAX Capital makes the case that the traditional small cap playbook is broken—capital is leaving public markets, private equity is stepping in, and more companies are choosing to go private. His solution: blend public and private investing, take concentrated positions, and actively push for outcomes. He explains how his 70/30 strategy works, why active ownership is critical in Canada’s inefficient small cap market, and how investors can capture a “second bite of the apple” when companies get taken private. Along the way, he breaks down the growing disconnect between public and private valuations—and why that gap is creating opportunity. In the mailbag, Robinson walks through a series of high-interest small cap names and activist situations, including Calian Group (CGY.TO), Black Diamond Group (BDI.TO), Ag Growth International (AFN.TO), Information Services Corp (ISV.TO), Dye & Durham (DND.TO), WELL Health Technologies (WELL.TO), and cannabis names like Auxly Cannabis Group (XLY.TO) and Cannara Biotech (LOVE.TO). He explains where activism can actually create value—and where it can’t—why some of these “hairy” stories are best avoided, and where he’s seeing real catalysts tied to themes like defense spending, “Build Canada,” and a potential recovery in agriculture. In Pro Picks, Robinson focuses on higher-quality opportunities with clearer paths to value creation. He highlights D2L (DTOL.TO) as a misunderstood, mission-critical software platform with strong growth and potential upside from improving sentiment (and the company received a takeover offer just a day after his recommendation!) . He also points to Premium Brands Holdings (PBH.TO), arguing the payoff from years of heavy investment is finally coming, setting up a meaningful earnings inflection.

    The New Inflation Era: Why Real Assets Could Be the Big Winners

    The investing playbook may be changing—and Tyler Rosenlicht, Portfolio Manager, Global Infrastructure at Cohen & Steers, says investors need to be ready. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Rosenlicht makes the case that we’re moving from an era of abundance to an era of scarcity—where inflation is higher, more volatile, and driven by structural shifts like deglobalization, supply chain reshoring, and rising geopolitical risk. He explains why real assets—like infrastructure, natural resources, and commodities—could play a much bigger role in portfolios, and why now may be the time to move to the higher end of allocation ranges. Rosenlicht breaks down how this new regime changes everything—from how we think about inflation protection to why traditional portfolios may struggle. He walks through the case for energy, why oil should be viewed as a long-term “perpetuity” rather than a declining asset, and how underinvestment and supply constraints are setting up opportunities across commodities like copper, uranium, and gold. He also explains why infrastructure—from pipelines to data centers to power generation—offers a rare combination of stability, inflation protection, and growth, especially as electricity demand surges. In the mailbag, Rosenlicht answers your questions on real asset names, including why he prefers oil sands producers like Suncor Energy (SU.TO) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) over U.S. shale, how integrated models compare to pure producers, and where refiners like Valero Energy (VLO) fit in today’s market. He also weighs in on pipeline giant TC Energy (TRP.TO), the outlook for nuclear through Cameco (CCO.TO), utility plays like TransAlta (TA.TO), and what consolidation could mean for rail stocks like Norfolk Southern (NSC). In Pro Picks, Rosenlicht highlights three high-conviction ideas tied to the real asset boom. He names MasTec (MTZ) as a “picks and shovels” play on the massive buildout of power, pipelines, and electrification. He also likes ConocoPhillips (COP) for its long-life resource base and ability to generate growing free cash flow as the cycle evolves. And for a higher-risk, higher-reward idea, he points to Tamboran Resources (TBN), a small-cap name with potential exposure to a new shale basin in Australia. If the next decade is defined by inflation, scarcity, and a need for real-world inputs, this conversation lays out exactly how investors can position for it.

    Why Consensus is Failing — A Contrarian Approach to Today’s Market

    John Zechner has seen this movie before — and when everyone’s on the same side of the trade, he starts looking the other way. The Chairman & Founder of J. Zechner Associates joins Amber Kanwar to break down how he’s positioning his portfolio in a market driven by noise, geopolitics, and crowded trades. From calling the recent energy shock a potential “9/11-type” shift in investor psychology to arguing that markets are still mispricing long-term risks, Zechner lays out why being contrarian today could pay off tomorrow. He explains why he’s adding selectively to oil while staying disciplined on position sizing, why gold still has a strong long-term case despite recent volatility, and why Canada could benefit from a renewed focus on energy security. At the same time, he’s taking the other side of the AI trade—rotating out of semiconductors and into beaten-down software names like Adobe (ADBE), Salesforce (CRM), and Shopify (SHOP), where valuations have reset and expectations are low. He also shares why he’s avoiding private equity and bank stocks for now, pointing to lingering risks that the market may be underestimating. In the mailbag, Zechner weighs in on Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO), Cameco (CCJ), the Canadian telecom sector, his favourite Canadian utilities, and WSP Global (WSP.TO). He cautions against paying a premium for Fairfax’s investment track record, says Cameco remains a strong uranium franchise but an expensive one, and argues there is emerging value in parts of telecom even as he warns Telus (T.TO) may need to cut its dividend. He also highlights select Canadian utilities for their defensive appeal and discusses how to think about WSP Global as a quality name in a market where investors may need to look beyond the obvious winners. In Pro Picks, Zechner first revisits his past picks: Cenovus Energy (CVE), Maple Leaf Foods (MFI.TO), and Uber (UBER). He then gets into his current top ideas: Premium Brands (PBH.TO), Oracle (ORCL), and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (U.U / SRUUF). Together, the picks reflect the broader message of the interview: the best contrarian opportunities may be in quality names where sentiment is still skeptical, valuations are more reasonable, and consensus is no longer as reliable as it once seemed.
