In the Money with Amber Kanwar Buying $1 for 60 Cents — Richard Fogler’s No-Hype Investment Strategy
Market swings? Tariffs? Recession fears? Richard Fogler doesn’t flinch. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with the cool-headed CIO of Kingwest & Company to unpack his no-nonsense investing strategy: buy great businesses at a discount—and hold.
Fogler breaks down what he looks for in a company: resilience, unrecognized potential, and a clear path to value being realized—even if it takes years. He reveals the stock he’s held since the 1998 (hint: it started with a pool-cleaning side hustle and turned into a real estate powerhouse), why he believes TD Bank’s U.S. growth story is far from over, and why he’s not concerned AI is a threat to Google’s search business.
Plus, don’t miss his latest Pro Picks: why Brookfield still looks undervalued, why Uber is just getting started, and how SmartCentres REIT is quietly unlocking big value through real estate development.
Whether it's finding overlooked gems buried in plain sight or explaining why macro noise is mostly just that—noise—Fogler shares decades of experience in how to tune out the chaos and stay focused on fundamentals.
