    The Death of Canadian Small Caps: What Happens Next?

    Canadian small caps have been left for dead. After two decades of disappointing performance, shrinking investor interest, and a steady exodus of institutional capital, is there any reason to believe a comeback is coming? Or has the market fundamentally changed for good? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Jeff Tory, Chair, Partner, Director, Portfolio Manager at Pembroke Management, makes the case that Canadian small caps could be approaching a major turning point. He explains how pension funds and retail investors abandoned the sector, why Canada's pipeline of new public companies has nearly dried up, and what it will take to rebuild a market capable of producing the next Shopify. With valuations deeply discounted, renewed interest in investing in Canada, and the potential for capital to return home, Tory believes the opportunities could be greater than investors realize. But he's also refreshingly candid about the challenges. Small-cap returns have struggled to keep pace with the broader market, and cheap stocks can stay cheap for a long time. So why stick with them? Tory explains why diversification, disciplined capital allocation, and finding growing businesses with strong insider ownership could make all the difference. He also questions whether investors chasing the AI boom are overlooking compelling opportunities in smaller, profitable companies. In the Mailbag, Tory weighs in on Cineplex (CGX) and whether its strategic review and a recovering box office could finally unlock value. He explains why the recent selloff in 5N Plus (VNP) hasn't changed his long-term investment thesis, assesses EQB (EQB) following its acquisition of PC Financial, and discusses whether CAE (CAE) is setting up for a successful turnaround. In Pro Picks, Tory shares three high-conviction Canadian investment ideas. He makes the case for Stingray (RAY.A), a misunderstood media business with growing digital advertising opportunities; AGF Management (AGF.B), where he sees a significant disconnect between the company's valuation and underlying assets; and Western Investment Company (WI), a little-known insurance business he believes has the potential to become a long-term compounder. Are Canadian small caps a dying asset class, or is this exactly the kind of market investors should be paying attention to?

    The Perfect Resource Portfolio: An Outperforming Fund Manager Reveals His Strategy

    What does the perfect resource portfolio look like right now? And where are the biggest opportunities in commodities as the economic cycle enters its later stages? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Benoit Gervais, Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, Co-head of Mackenzie Resources and Energy Evolution Team, shares how he's positioning his resource portfolios after outperforming the broader market and commodity benchmarks. He's dramatically reduced his exposure to gold, increased his bets on energy and economically sensitive commodities, and believes the current expansion still has room to run. But his strategy goes well beyond the obvious trades. From oil and natural gas to copper, steel and cement, Gervais explains where he sees the best opportunities, why the AI buildout could benefit some overlooked industries, and how he's balancing risk and reward in an increasingly unpredictable market. Gervais also weighs in on the outlook for Canadian energy, why he thinks uranium investors may be getting ahead of themselves, the challenges facing Canadian natural gas producers, and why global diversification is essential for resource investors. In the Mailbag, Gervais doesn't hold back. He questions Barrick Mining's (ABX) plan to spin off its Nevada assets despite owning the stock, raises concerns about governance at Strathcona Resources (SCR), and explains why he's reduced his exposure to Cenovus Energy (CVE). He also discusses Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), the opportunity in refiners including Valero (VLO), and why he prefers TotalEnergies (TTE) over Exxon Mobil (XOM). In Pro Picks, Gervais takes us around the world with three resource stocks he believes offer compelling upside. He makes the case for Brazilian oil producer PetroRio (PRIO3), U.S. LNG exporter Venture Global (VG), which he believes could double or triple over time, and Austrian specialty steel producer voestalpine (VOE), which could benefit from Europe's push to protect its domestic industrial capacity. Three very different companies, all positioned to benefit from the next phase of the global resource cycle.

    The Midterms, the Markets and a Surprising Opportunity in Healthcare

    The U.S. midterm elections are over, but what do the results mean for your portfolio? With Washington's political landscape shifting, investors are weighing the implications for stocks and the broader market. Could the election results set the stage for the next leg of the rally, and is healthcare emerging as one of the biggest opportunities? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Paul MacDonald, President & Co-Chief Investment Officer at Harvest ETFs and head of Canada's largest healthcare ETF, explains why the midterms could be a turning point for healthcare stocks. Historically, the broader market has been positive 85% of the time six months after the midterms and 100% of the time one year later. But beyond politics, a bigger shift is underway. As investors rotate away from the crowded AI trade, money is flowing into healthcare, a sector that has spent years out of favour but is now showing signs of a comeback. With healthcare valuations still attractive and earnings growth expected to accelerate in 2027, MacDonald makes the case for why the rally may just be getting started. He breaks down the impact of shifting U.S. healthcare policy, why medical technology stocks could offer some of the best opportunities and whether pharmaceutical companies can keep outperforming. In the Mailbag, he weighs in on Pfizer (PFE), Moderna (MRNA), CVS Health (CVS), Bausch Health (BHC), Zoetis (ZTS) and Boston Scientific (BSX), including which beaten-down stocks could recover and which may still be value traps. In Pro Picks, MacDonald reveals three healthcare stocks he believes offer compelling opportunities: Stryker (SYK), AbbVie (ABBV) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH). He explains why he's sticking with these names despite recent challenges and where he sees the potential for further upside.

    “It's Time to Be More Cautious Than Optimistic”: Top Stock Picker's Warning

    The AI trade is getting tired, inflation isn't going away, and some of the market's biggest winners may no longer be the best places to invest. Is it time to get defensive? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, top-performing stock picker Lyle Stein, President of  Forvest Canada returns with a warning for investors: "This is a time to be more cautious than optimistic." After delivering some of the show's strongest stock picks last year, Stein is taking a more selective approach. He's trimmed his exposure to precious metals, sold Google (GOOGL), and remains deeply skeptical of Canadian banks and big oil producers. He argues that investors should stop chasing stocks at record highs and start looking for quality companies that have fallen out of favour. With the AI trade losing momentum and money rotating into other parts of the market, where will the next opportunities emerge? Stein explains why he's favouring bonds and dividend income, why he still sees a role for gold despite its recent plunge, and why pipelines offer a more attractive way to play Canadian energy than the major oil producers. He also makes the case for owning AI-related stocks that generate strong cash flow rather than companies spending heavily to build out the technology. In the Mailbag, Stein explains why he's buying the dip in pipeline giant Enbridge (ENB), arguing that its attractive dividend yield and stable cash flows make it a compelling way to invest in Canadian energy without taking on the same risks as oil producers. He also reveals why he recently bought Thomson Reuters (TRI) following the software sector selloff, whether Cameco (CCO) is a buying opportunity after its sharp decline, and why he's steering clear of Canadian oil heavyweights Suncor (SU), Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) and Cenovus (CVE). Plus, is the selloff in Alamos Gold (AGI) an opportunity or a warning sign for gold investors? In Pro Picks, Stein revisits last year's successful recommendations, including First Majestic Silver (AG), Sprott and Peyto Exploration (PEY), and explains what he's sold and what he continues to own. He then reveals his latest high-conviction ideas: gold producer Agnico Eagle (AEM), semiconductor company Micron Technology (MU), and target-maturity U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities ETFs designed to help investors preserve purchasing power.

    AI Stocks Are Down 50%. Is This the Buying Opportunity?

    Tech stocks have been crushed, but Ivana Delevska believes the worst of the AI sell-off may be behind us. With some AI stocks down 30%, 40% or even 50% from their highs, is this the buying opportunity investors have been waiting for? And could the highly anticipated Anthropic IPO reignite the AI trade? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Ivana Delevska, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Spear Invest, explains why rising interest rates and forced selling have hammered AI stocks, even as the underlying fundamentals remain strong. She believes most of the damage has already been done and argues that the next phase of the AI boom could deliver significant upside for investors who know where to look. She also weighs in on Anthropic's potential IPO, revealing what valuation would make the AI company attractive and why she's optimistic about its long-term prospects. But the next winners may not be the same stocks that led the last rally. Delevska explains why she doesn't own Nvidia (NVDA), despite remaining bullish on its outlook, and why she sees greater opportunities in CPUs, optical networking and semiconductor equipment. She makes the case that the rise of AI agents is creating a new wave of demand for computing power, while networking's share of data centre spending could double from 10% to 20%. She also explains why 2027 and 2028 could be particularly strong years for parts of the semiconductor industry. In the mailbag, Delevska weighs in on whether the sell-off in Meta (META) is overdone, why Microsoft (MSFT) has held up better than Alphabet (GOOGL), and whether CoreWeave (CRWV) is a bargain or a value trap as investors question its debt load and competitive position. She also revisits Marvell Technology (MRVL) and explains why she prefers KLA (KLAC) and Lam Research (LRCX) over ASML (ASML). In Pro Picks, Delevska reveals three stocks she believes are positioned to benefit from the next leg of the AI trade: Astera Labs (ALAB), Lumentum (LITE) and Arm Holdings (ARM). She also revisits her previous picks, Coherent (COHR), KLA (KLAC) and Arista Networks (ANET), explaining why she continues to hold all three and which one she likes best today.

    The Great Investment Showdown: Canada vs. The World

    Canada vs. The World: Where should investors put their money now? Canadian stocks have outperformed the U.S. over the past year, but after a powerful rally in banks, energy and materials, is there still room to run? Or are the better opportunities now overseas? With valuations climbing, bond yields rising and investors questioning the dominance of U.S. equities, the global investment landscape is shifting. In this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, recorded in Vancouver, we're staging the great investment showdown with Kevin McSweeney and Matthew Strauss, Co-Heads of Equities at CI Global Asset Management. Kevin makes the case for Canada as a potential turnaround story, while Matthew takes us around the world to uncover opportunities in Europe, Asia and emerging markets. They discuss whether Canada's renewed focus on energy, infrastructure and attracting foreign investment could mark a turning point for the economy—and whether global investors are actually putting money behind the Canadian comeback. But after a remarkable rally, are Canadian stocks getting too expensive? Kevin explains why he's taking profits in Canadian banks, where he's still finding value in energy and why rising interest rates could actually work in Canada's favour. Matthew makes the case for international diversification, highlighting opportunities in European banks, emerging markets and countries undergoing their own economic transformations.  And what about the biggest investment theme of all—artificial intelligence? With the Magnificent Seven dominating U.S. markets, both managers explore how to invest in the AI revolution beyond Silicon Valley. From Canadian power producers and engineering firms to semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan and South Korea, they reveal where the next wave of AI investment could create opportunities.  Finally, with U.S. bond yields and the dollar moving higher, could Canada emerge as a relative safe haven for investors? Or will international markets offer better returns in the years ahead?

    Software Stocks Crashed. This CEO Says the Business Has Never Been Stronger

    Is Wall Street getting the AI threat to software stocks all wrong? When fears of a "SaaSpocalypse" sent software stocks plunging, Canadian tech company Kinaxis (KXS.TO) lost roughly 30% of its value. But according to its new CEO, Razat Gaurav, the business was actually getting stronger. With revenue doubling since 2023 and growing demand from global customers including General Motors, Unilever and Merck, Gaurav believes Kinaxis has the potential to double or even triple in size. He joins Amber Kanwar to explain why AI won't replace the company's supply chain software, how it's using AI to accelerate growth, and why investors may be misunderstanding the future of enterprise software. Gaurav also discusses the economics of AI, including rising token usage, whether AI companies are subsidizing their products, and the potential for over investment to create another tech bubble. He explains why Kinaxis is increasing R&D spending while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet, how a partnership with Nvidia is making its technology dramatically faster, and what tariffs, geopolitical tensions and global supply chain disruptions mean for customer demand. Plus, could Kinaxis be headed for a U.S. stock exchange—or become Canada's next big tech takeover? Gaurav addresses plans for a potential U.S. dual listing, acquisition opportunities, takeover speculation and why he believes the company's biggest growth opportunities are still ahead.

    Forget the S&P 500. Inflation Could Make Canada the Better Bet

    Inflation is reshaping global markets, and Canada may be uniquely positioned to benefit. Veteran value investor Kim Shannon, Founder and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Sionna Investment Managers, believes we're only five years into an inflationary cycle that could last another 15 years or longer. History suggests Canadian stocks have a significant advantage in this environment. When inflation rises above 4%, Canada has historically outperformed the U.S. by an average of 8%. After correctly predicting the TSX would outperform the S&P 500 last year, Shannon explains why she believes the golden era for value investing is far from over, why rising bond yields could put pressure on expensive growth stocks, and where she's finding opportunities in Canadian equities despite the market's impressive rally. In the Mailbag, Shannon weighs in on whether Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) still has room to run after doubling in value, whether Canadian energy stocks can continue their rally, and if Canadian banks like Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO) and TD Bank (TD.TO) have become too expensive. She also discusses why Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO) could offer significant upside, whether Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) remains attractive, the AI disruption fears weighing on engineering firms WSP Global (WSP.TO) and Stantec (STN.TO), and whether rising bond yields are creating opportunities in pipelines and telecom stocks. In Pro Picks, Shannon reveals three Canadian stocks she believes offer significant upside in an inflationary world. She's sticking with Barrick Mining (ABX.TO), a pick from last year that's already gained 47%, but which she believes remains deeply undervalued thanks to one of the world's most promising gold discoveries. She's also finding opportunity in the wreckage of the AI-driven software selloff, making the case for CGI (GIB.A.TO), and sees a potential turnaround in beaten-down utility Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN.TO), which she believes could climb from roughly $7 to $12 a share. Plus, we revisit her stellar picks from last year, including Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO), up 52%, and Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO), which has doubled, to see what's behind those gains and whether there's still upside ahead.
