The Midterms, the Markets and a Surprising Opportunity in Healthcare
Episode 182
Thursday, November 5, 2026 • Duration 53:45
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
Episode 181
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 • Duration 53:52
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?
Episode 180
Thursday, October 29, 2026 • Duration 44:46
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
Episode 179
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 40:08
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
Episode 178
Thursday, October 22, 2026 • Duration 01:01:41
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
Episode 177
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 • Duration 56:39
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.

Canada Is Finally Waking Up. These Stocks Could Soar
Episode 176
Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 01:02:05
Canada is on the cusp of what could be a generational investment opportunity. After years of underinvestment, billions of dollars are flowing toward infrastructure, defence, energy and data centres—and some of the biggest beneficiaries may still be overlooked by investors. Andrey Omelchak, President, CEO & CIO at LionGuard Capital, believes Canada's economic transformation is just getting started. After outperforming both the TSX and Nasdaq without relying on big tech or mining stocks, he explains why he's so bullish on Canada's future, where he's finding opportunities and which companies could deliver outsized returns.
In the Mailbag, Andrey weighs in on whether the pullback in 5N Plus (VNP.TO) is a major buying opportunity, whether AI disruption fears are overblown for Stantec (STN.TO) and Lumine Group (LMN.V), and why he's excited about Electrovaya (ELVA.TO) despite its volatility. He also revisits Propel Holdings (PRL.TO) following the collapse in goeasy (GSY.TO), assesses the upside in Mattr (MATR.TO) after its massive rally and explains why he sees more growth ahead for Firan Technology Group (FTG.TO).
In Pro Picks, Andrey reveals three stocks positioned to benefit from a surge in infrastructure, defence and data centre spending: Magellan Aerospace (MAL.TO), Enerflex (EFX.TO) and Badger Infrastructure Solutions (BDGI.TO). He also revisits his previous picks, including Calian Group (CGY.TO), Canaccord Genuity (CF.TO) and Bird Construction (BDT.TO), which has surged 155% since his last appearance. Is there still upside, or is it time to take profits?

He Got Canadian Energy Right. Here's What He's Saying Now
Episode 175
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 01:21:03
Cole Smead got Canadian energy right when few investors wanted anything to do with the sector. Now, after some of his biggest stock picks have delivered enormous returns, is there still money to be made?
Cole was one of the top-performing stock pickers in our mid-year review, claiming both the number one and number three spots thanks in large part to his winning Canadian energy bets. Now, he returns to explain why he believes the Canadian oil trade is far from over, even after a massive rally. While some of the biggest bargains in Canadian energy have disappeared, Smead believes the sector still has significant upside. But investors looking for the next big payoff may need patience rather than chasing quick gains.
He breaks down why Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) remains one of his highest-conviction holdings, what its acquisition of Athabasca Oil (ATH.TO) reveals about the value of Canadian oil sands assets, and why he thinks consolidation could eventually leave Canada with just three major oil producers. He also weighs in on the widening discount for Canadian crude, the outlook for oil prices amid geopolitical tensions, and why he's avoiding the AI spending boom in favour of businesses generating enormous free cash flow. Plus, why this outspoken American investor is expanding his business into Canada.
In the Mailbag, Cole answers viewer questions about whether Athabasca Oil (ATH.TO) could attract a competing bid, whether Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) is falling behind its peers, and whether there's more upside in Whitecap Resources (WCP.TO) following its Veren acquisition. He also shares his outlook for Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE.TO), Baytex Energy (BTE.TO), Strathcona Resources (SCR.TO), and Birchcliff Energy (BIR.TO), explaining where he sees opportunities, where he's cautious, and why capital allocation matters more than ever.
In Pro Picks, Cole revisits his previous recommendations, including Strathcona Resources (SCR.TO), Pandora (PNDORA.CO) and West Fraser Timber (WFG) before revealing three investment ideas: International Petroleum (IPCO.TO), a Canadian energy company with ambitious oil sands growth plans; Barclays (BARC.L), a European bank he believes could benefit from improving profitability and industry consolidation; and Auto Trader Group (AUTO.L), a beaten-down British business where he sees a potential opportunity for patient investors.
“Big Short” Investor Steve Eisman Isn’t Calling a Crash—But He Sees One Big Risk
Episode 174
Thursday, October 8, 2026 • Duration 34:26
Steve Eisman made his name betting against the housing market before the Global Financial Crisis—a trade immortalized in The Big Short. So when he sees risk building in the market, investors pay attention. But this time, Eisman isn’t predicting another crash. In fact, he’s net long.
In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Eisman explains why he remains cautiously bullish, even as he warns that the market has become dangerously dependent on one story: AI. He argues the S&P 500 is far less diversified than investors think, with much of the market now directly or indirectly tied to the AI buildout. He breaks down the extraordinary concentration he sees from NVIDIA (NVDA) to the hyperscalers to OpenAI and Anthropic—and what could cause that chain to unravel.
Eisman also weighs in on rising interest rates, why he believes U.S. banks are safer than they’ve been in decades, and why he isn’t worried about America’s massive government debt. And he revisits one of his more infamous calls on Canada: his bet against Canadian banks. Eisman admits he was wrong, explains why his bearish housing thesis never played out as expected, and says Canada’s oligopolistic banking system has helped keep its banks safe—even as Canadian housing now faces a significant pullback.
Plus, in Pro Picks, Eisman shares his high-conviction ideas: NVIDIA (NVDA), which he continues to own as long as the AI story holds together, and Eli Lilly (LLY), which he believes has won the weight-loss drug war. He also reveals why he closed his hugely successful short position in FICO (FICO) after the stock plunged roughly 60%—and teases another short he isn’t ready to reveal just yet.
Mike Vinokur thinks a market washout could be just two to four weeks away—and that may be the time to buy. The Portfolio Manager & Senior Wealth Advisor at Propellus Wealth Partners with iA Private Wealth has raised cash to nearly 30% in his growth portfolio as the S&P 500’s double-digit gain masks a much uglier market underneath. High-quality stocks are down 20%, 30% and even 40%, and Mike joins Amber Kanwar to explain why he thinks more pain could be coming before a potentially compelling buying opportunity emerges. He also breaks down the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates and why he’s cautious on parts of the AI trade.
In the Mailbag, Mike weighs in on the pullback in U.S. banks and explains why he prefers life insurers over expensive Canadian banks. He looks at whether Blackstone (BX), KKR (KKR) and Brookfield (BN) have fallen far enough to become attractive, whether McDonald’s (MCD) is finally getting cheap enough to buy and what Berkshire Hathaway may see in Lennar (LEN). Plus, after a 75% collapse in Fair Isaac (FICO), is the stock finally an opportunity—or still a falling knife?
In Pro Picks, Mike revisits his past ideas Alphabet (GOOGL), Air Lease and Lincoln National (LNC), including why he sold Google after a massive run but continues to own Lincoln National. His new picks are Amazon (AMZN), Uber (UBER) and Talen Energy (TLN), as he looks for businesses with strong fundamentals, attractive valuations and enough margin of safety to weather a more challenging market.
