Craig White: Inside the Most Unloved Bull Market Ever
In the Money with Amber Kanwar
Tesla's volatility and cautious view
Craig highlights Tesla's drawdowns, news-driven moves, and need for fresh product cycles.
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.
