Looking for Canada's Zuckerberg? Look at the Natural Resource Sector
While everyone’s chasing the next tech trend, Kelsey Dunwoodie is digging where Canada’s real wealth—and entrepreneurial spirit—lies: in the ground. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Deans Knight Capital Management portfolio manager lays out the bullish case for Canada’s great resource comeback. From gold miners to natural gas producers, she argues the next wave of growth will come from small and mid-cap companies built by hands-on founders who’ve weathered every boom and bust.She breaks down why gold producers are flush with cash, how energy companies are positioning for the next upcycle, and why she’s steering clear of the rare earths hype—for now. Kelsey fields questions across the resource landscape. She explains why she once owned Foran Mining (FOM.TO) but now prefers Taseko Mines (TKO.TO) for its consistent operations and better valuation. In forestry, she’s staying loyal to West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO), praising its management and ability to outperform through any housing cycle. On royalties, she says Franco-Nevada (FNV.TO) and Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM.TO) are proven powerhouses but highlights Topaz Energy (TPZ.TO) in the energy space. She also discusses Osisko Metals (OM.TO) and its Gaspe Copper Project, calling it a story to watch, and points to Equinox Gold (EQX.TO) as her largest gold position—a miner shifting from spending to strong cash generation. Dunwoodie closes the show with three under-the-radar Canadian resource stocks she believes are set to outperform. Champion Iron (CIA.TO) leads the list, an iron ore miner entering a new phase of higher-margin, low-carbon production. She names Denison Mines (DML.TO) as her favorite way to play the uranium boom and global nuclear buildout. And rounding it out, Paramount Resources (POU.TO)—a family-run natural gas producer growing more than 20% a year without needing to raise a dime.Timestamps00:00 Show intro 02:30 How Kelsey got into resource investing03:30 Why resources?

Can you really have it all — growth and income? Rob Lauzon, Chief Investment Officer at Middlefield, says yes. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, he explains why dividend stocks are finally back in the spotlight — and why some of the biggest opportunities may be hiding in the most unloved corners of the market.From oil producers to pipelines and REITs, Rob breaks down where he’s finding value, yield, and upside in a market obsessed with AI. He shares his outlook on oil, gold, and the political shift that could breathe new life into Canada’s resource sector — and why he believes energy investors are entering a new era of disciplined balance sheets and shareholder returns.Amber and Rob tackle your questions on gold, pipelines (ENB, TRP, PPL), and energy names like Whitecap (WCP). They discuss possible tie-ups in the resource sector, with Rob suggesting a Barrick-Newmont deal could be a possibility. They also get into the outlook for REITs, from Dream Industrial (DIR.UN) to Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN), and discuss whether Equitable Bank (EQB) has become a contrarian buy after its recent pullback.In Pro Picks, Rob shares three dividend-paying stocks that combine value, income, and serious upside — from Canadian Apartment REIT (CAR.UN) to Tourmaline (TOU) and U.S. regional bank Western Alliance (WAL).

Slow and Steady Investing Still Wins: Ryan Bushell’s Dividend Playbook
In a market obsessed with momentum and AI hype, Ryan Bushell is betting on something far less flashy — patience, discipline, and dividends. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Newhaven Asset Management CEO proves that being a younger investor with an old-school mindset can still outperform. His focus: companies that can compound for decades, not just quarters.Bushell breaks down why rising power demand is reshaping the investment landscape and why “boring” sectors like utilities and infrastructure might hold the most exciting opportunities ahead. In the mailbag, he tackles listener questions on Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), he addresses the Cenovus–MEG–Strathcona saga, the Canadian banks, Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO), K-Bro Linen (KBL.TO), and Fortis (FTS.TO) — weighing where value still exists after record highs.And in Pro Picks, Bushell shares his favourite long-term compounders hiding in plain sight: Pembina Pipeline (PPL.TO), ARC Resources (ARX.TO), and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN) — steady names built for investors who’d rather win slowly than chase the next flashy thing.Timestamps00:00 Show intro 02:00 Ryan’s conservative approach to investing and forming his style during the GFC 07:40 Starting Newhaven Asset Management 10:40 Ryan’s view of the current market 13:10 Can you be bearish on AI spending but still like some of the sectors involved 17:05 Ryan’s view on gold 20:20 Why Ryan is sitting on cash right now 23:10 ITM Mailbag: CNQ stock 29:00 Canadian banks 32:25 Thomson Reuters stock (TRI) 35:00: K-Bro Linen stock (KBR) 38:40 Fortis stock (FTS) 42:40 Ryan’s Pro Picks (PPL, ARX, BIP.UN)SponsorsFor 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Everyone Relax — The Bull Market is Just Getting Started
“The best of the bull market is still ahead of us.” That’s how Nick Griffin, Founding Partner and CIO of Munro Partners, sees it. The Australia-based global growth investor joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar to explain why the AI boom isn’t a bubble — it’s the start of a once-in-a-generation expansion. Griffin says we’re only in year three of a bull market that could last a decade, with trillions of dollars still to be spent building the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. From data centers and chipmakers to clean energy and sports entertainment, he breaks down where the biggest opportunities lie — and why staying optimistic could be the smartest move in markets right now.He also weighs in on the U.S.–China trade war, why Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is both a risk and an opportunity, and how global tensions could shape the race to dominate AI.In the Mailbag, Amber and Nick dive into listener questions on some of the world’s biggest growth names — including Shopify (SHOP) and its OpenAI partnership, Salesforce (CRM) and its fight to stay relevant, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) as an AI-in-healthcare leader, and why Mastercard (MA) continues to beat every disruption story thrown its way. Griffin also explains why Constellation Energy (CEG) has become an unlikely growth stock, and what he admits he got wrong about Palantir (PLTR).In Pro Picks, Griffin shares his three highest-conviction ideas: Nvidia (NVDA), still his top holding even after its massive run; Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the battery giant powering the clean-energy transition; and TKO Group (TKO), the UFC–WWE parent company capitalizing on the unstoppable rise of live sports.Timestamps00:00 Show intro03:30 Why Nick thinks the best of the bull market is still in front of us05:20 Comparing the AI revolution to the first time you got an iPhone06:50 Is it valid to compare this time to the dotcom bubble? 08:20 Nick is in the camp this is a boom, don’t be scared of the boom 10:20 What about the circular nature of some of these AI deals?11:50 Why Nick listens to everything Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says15:50 How Nick handled the downturn in 202218:00 What about U.S.-China tensions and what that means for the AI revolution19:25 Why AI is just one-third of Nick’s global growth fund.

Downtown Josh Brown: Stay Invested and Shut the F**k Up
Wall Street meets real talk in this week’s In the Money with Amber Kanwar, featuring none other than Downtown Josh Brown — the CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, CNBC regular, and host of the hit podcast The Compound and Friends. From surviving the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis to building a wealth management firm with billions under management, Josh shares how storytelling, not spreadsheets, shaped his investing journey.Amber and Josh dig into today’s market vibes — from AI-fueled rallies to why valuations “don’t have to rhyme with 2000.” Josh tells us how he thinks about managing risk, and what he really thinks about gold, tariffs, and America’s new brand of “mercantilism.” Importantly he tells our listeners to stay invested, diversify and offers his most important rule: shut the f**k up! In Pro Picks, Josh opens up his own portfolio and explains why his biggest bet is on Uber (UBER) — the “cheapest large-cap tech stock,” and his play on the future of autonomous delivery and driverless mobility. He’s also adding to Amazon (AMZN), confident that its partnership with Anthropic and growing cloud presence will make it a bigger AI winner than investors realize. Then there’s Rocket Companies (RKT), which he calls a top way to play a housing rebound and the refi boom he expects once rates fall. And finally, Toast (TOST) — his pick for the restaurant tech revolution, building a sticky ecosystem from payments to payroll that could make it the “Amazon of hospitality.”Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:00 Downtown Josh Brown tells us how he he fell in love with the stock market05:30 Why Josh started the blog The Reformed Broker, and how it changed his life 08:30 It’s hard to remind yourself that history doesn’t repeat10:30 Is Josh worried right now?13:00 Where does the market go from here?

The Dividend Portfolio Every Investor Needs Right Now
In a market obsessed with AI and momentum trades, dividend investors are quietly cashing in. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Laura Lau, Chief Investment Officer at Brompton Funds, shares how she’s finding dividend income in a market chasing growth. With stocks at record highs, Lau explains how to balance yield, total return, and capital appreciation — and why dividend investing still has plenty of life left, from Canadian banks to European value plays.In the mailbag, Lau weighs in on Apple (AAPL) and its lagging AI story, the appeal of Enbridge (ENB) as a steady yield play, and why Imperial Oil (IMO) continues to outperform even in a range-bound oil market. She explains why she considers ExxonMobil (XOM) a long-term hold despite flat performance and also discusses Parex Resources (PXT) and the sustainability of its 8.5% yield. She doesn’t shy away from the tough calls — including her cautious take on BCE (BCE) after its dividend cut, and tells us why Quebecor (QBR.B) is her favourite name in the Canadian telco space. Plus, she highlights opportunities in Dollarama (DOL), the surprising growth name that keeps compounding returns, and breaks down how investors should think about preferred shares and split corps when building income-focused portfolios. For her Pro Picks, Lau goes global with three dividend-growth names she believes can outperform. Citigroup (C) is her U.S. financial pick, poised to benefit from deregulation, cost cuts, and share buybacks.

Canadian Stocks at All Time Highs, Where to Invest Next?
Canadian stocks are hitting record highs, so where should investors look next? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, veteran money manager Lyle Stein of Forvest Canada breaks down why he’s leaning into resource stocks and dividend payers as the backbone of a portfolio.From gold miners to pipelines to natural gas plays, Stein explains his “comfort, calamity and children” strategy for portfolio construction as a way to balance income, protection, and long-term growth. He shares why he’s cautious on Canadian banks, where he still sees opportunities in commodities like copper, uranium, and silver, and why dividend-paying stocks remain the vitamins every investor needs.In the mailbag, we tackle viewer questions on some of Canada’s biggest dividend and resource names. Stein shares his thoughts on insurers like Manulife (MFC.TO), pipelines including Pembina (PPL.TO), as well as REITs such as Primaris (PMZ.UN.TO). Lyle highlights large-cap gold leaders like Agnico Eagle (AEM), streamers such as Franco Nevada (FNV) and Wheaton (WPM), and why silver producers like First Majestic (AG) could be the next breakout. He also digs into Cameco (CCO) and its Westinghouse deal as a long-term nuclear power play, while eyeing Teck Resources (TECK) as a copper-driven transition winner.In Pro Picks, Stein reveals his highest-conviction dividend and resource stocks right now: Peyto Exploration (PEY.TO) for natural gas exposure, Sprott Inc. (SII.TO) as a leveraged play on gold, silver, and uranium, and First Majestic Silver (FR.TO) as a way to capture the silver rally.Timestamps00:00 Show intro01:50 What is Lyle’s style of investing?
