In the Money with Amber Kanwar Why Commodities Could Be the Trade of the Decade
Are commodities entering a stealth bull market? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, portfolio manager Bob Thompson makes the case for why investors should look beyond tech and get serious about the next major cycle: commodities.
Bob explains why gold, copper, uranium, and fertilizer stocks are poised for long-term outperformance and why we may already be in a commodity bull market that most investors are missing. From underinvestment in mining to decade-long US dollar cycles, he breaks down the macro forces driving this pivot and the historical parallels that suggest a major reversion is coming.
In the mailbag, Bob names top Canadian stocks and sectors he’s quietly building positions in including Nutrien (NTR), Capstone Copper (CS), ARC Resources (ARX), and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ). He also shares his outlook on Barrick Gold (ABX), Cameco (CCO), and Telus (T), plus insights on the TSX Venture’s recovery and why gold has outperformed the S&P 500 since 2000.
Then in his Pro Picks segment, Bob highlights 3 top-performing funds across energy and mining: the Sprott Physical Silver and Miners ETF (SLVR), the Dynamic Active Mining Opportunities ETF (DXMO), and the Ninepoint Energy Fund all backed by managers with serious alpha-generating track records.
If you’re questioning U.S. tech valuations, considering inflation hedges, or wondering how to invest in a multi-year energy and metals supercycle, this episode is packed with high-conviction, data-backed insights you won’t want to miss.
