60-Year Market Veteran Warns: U.S. Stocks Are in Trouble, Gold is the Safe Haven
Veteran investor Ross Healy has been navigating markets for 60 years — and right now, he’s sounding the alarm. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Ross explains why he believes U.S. stocks are dangerously overvalued and could be facing a major correction. He draws unsettling parallels to past bubbles, including the 2000 tech crash, and warns that the S&P 500 could fall by more than 50% as valuations snap back to reality. Despite the looming risks, Ross is far from sitting on the sidelines.Ross fields questions from viewers on a wide range of names, including the Canadian telecom stocks, Shopify (SHOP.TO), Lululemon (LULU), Power Corp (POW.TO), and Algoma Steel (ASTL.TO). He explains why he thinks BCE and TELUS (T.TO) face serious headwinds, why Rogers (RCI.B.TO) stands out as a safer bet, and why Shopify’s sky-high valuation just doesn’t justify the return. He remains fully committed to gold, noting that while Canadian investors are already on board, the real upside will come when American investors begin piling in. When it comes to his Pro Picks, Ross names three stocks he’s buying right now. He’s bullish on Fortuna Mining (FVI.TO), a gold-focused producer he believes is still undervalued despite its recent run. He sees big turnaround potential in Laurentian Bank (LB.TO), which is trading at multi-decade lows. And for portfolio stability, he likes Atco (ACO-X.TO), a utility stock with a solid balance sheet, steady dividend, and long-term upside.If you're trying to make sense of today’s overheated markets — and want to know where a market veteran is actually putting his money — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro01:45 Ross Healy talks about his 60 years in the investment industry 03:00 Ross’s view on why markets are shaking off tariffs05:35 Why Ross thinks markets are too excited about artificial intelligence and its economics08:45 Why Ross is very concerned about U.S. stocks and specifically the Magnificent 7 stocks14:00 Why believes the solvency of the U.S. economy is a major problem and tells us why18:30 Why this time is like the dot com bubble and how Ross called the bottom20:35 Ross thinks the S&P 500 could drop more than 50%23:00 ITM Mailbag: Why Ross is very bullish on gold and precious metals27:00 Why Ross thinks there’s upside for the TSX because of the index’s weight in commodities29:00 Why Ross likes nat gas stocks30:26 Ross’s hot take on Parkland (PKI.TO)33:00 Ross’s take on BCE & Rogers (BCE.TO, RCI.B.TO) 36:30 Why he views Telus (T.TO) as something in between BCE & Rogers39:30 Why Ross likes Power Corp.

Distress, Discipline & Deep Value: Daniel Lewis on the Hunt for Orphan Stocks
In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, investor Daniel Lewis, founder of Orange Capital, reflects on his journey from billion-dollar hedge fund manager to nimble, independent investor building a concentrated portfolio of distressed bets and ‘orphaned’ stocks everyone else is missing. Lewis shares how he built his reputation by diving headfirst into some of the most controversial and underfollowed stock stories. From friendly activism to quiet turnarounds, he pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to invest in special situations — and why Canada’s governance quirks make it a “wild west” of opportunity.He talks candidly about failed bets like Bellatrix and fund burnout, and why that chapter led to richer, more rewarding investing today. He also warns of the "melting ice cube" effect on legacy businesses that fail to evolve with AI, and argues that investors are dramatically underestimating the risk of obsolescence.Daniel shares three of his latest distressed bets, each with major upside potential — and yes, real risk. He walks through the deep value case for Claros Mortgage Trust (CMTG), a mortgage REIT trading at a fraction of book value; explains why Hippo (HIPO) is more than just an insuretech story and could re-rate as a high-margin fee-based business; and makes the bold bull case for Better Home & Finance (BETR), calling it a true AI-native company hiding in plain sight. With echoes of Carvana and a wild ride of its own, Better could be a 30-50x return — or go to zero.Timestamps01:55 Daniel’s investing style and why he thinks Canada is ripe with opportunities03:30 Daniel on ‘friendly’ activism and why it can be incredibly rewarding 05:30 Why Daniel talks about this mistakes and what he’s learned over the years 10:15 Daniel’s involvement in Canada right now12:45 Daniel on why distressed investing is still relevant16:15 Why you need to have a high risk appetite for this type of investing but there is the possibility of major upside20:10: Daniel on distress in large cap stocks23:00 How to spot the winners and losers and the risk of obsolescence28:40 Daniel on being opportunistic and why he picked up down and out SPACs32:00 Daniel’s Pro Picks SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

This Texas Energy Investor Spots Big Value in Canadian Oil Stocks
On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Josh Young, founder of Bison Interests, for a sharp, high-conviction conversation on the state of oil and gas investing. Based in Houston, Texas, Josh is a U.S. energy investor with a soft spot for Canadian oil and gas names. From small-cap bargains to activist shakeups, mergers, and Josh’s contrarian take on the oil cycle—this episode is a must-watch for investors looking to find value where others see risk.Josh fields mailbag questions on some of the most closely watched names in energy. He breaks down why Whitecap’s (WCP) U.S. listing debate matters, Strathcona’s bid for MEG Energy (SCR, MEG), and why Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) could be a surprise buyer. He compares CNQ and Suncor (SU), weighing their capital discipline and reserve outlook, and also takes a question on Cenovus (CVE)—where he doesn’t rule out the potential for activist involvement given its underperformance. Josh also shares his thoughts on Baytex (BTE), SandRidge (SD), and more.In Pro Picks, Josh reveals he’s active in Journey Energy (JOY), which he believes holds major untapped value in conventional oil assets, power generation, and Duvernay shale. He sees Ensign Energy Services (ESI), which is backed by CNQ’s Murray Edwards and Prem Watsa’s Fairfax, as a misunderstood deep-value play, and he highlights Vital Energy (VTLE), a Permian name whose stock has been unfairly punished despite improved operations.Timestamps00:00 Show intro and why Josh has a soft spot for Canadian energy03:20 Why U.S. and Canadian valuations look similar right now04:45 How much risk tolerance do you need to be invested in this space?07:20 How much M&A does Josh expect in the sector?09:45 Is institutional money coming back into the space?11:50 What does Josh think about Mark Carney and what he means for the sector?13:40 Josh’s contrarian view on the oil price and why he thinks it’s going higher18:40 What about the Saudis and OPEC?

The Art of Value Investing (Even When Stocks Look Expensive)
Are U.S. stocks too expensive? Not necessarily, says Stan Wong. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, he explains how the S&P 500’s valuation is skewed by tech, and why sectors like healthcare, industrials, and financials still offer compelling opportunities for selective investors.Stan and Amber break down the TSX’s recent surge, driven by gold and financials, and debate whether Canada’s market strength is here to stay. Despite the headlines, Stan remains overweight U.S. equities, citing broader market depth and stronger fundamentals heading into mid-2025. He also shares how he handles market dips, the sentiment indicators he watches, and why long-term fundamentals matter more than short-term swings.Answering viewer questions, Stan discusses names like Couche-Tard (ATD.TO), Uber (UBER), Shopify (SHOP), and United Health (UNH) — outlining where he’s invested, what he’s avoiding, and which stocks he’s recently sold. His stock selection strategy centers on companies with strong earnings growth and limited competition.Stan’s top picks might surprise you- all three are sitting near all-time highs, but Stan still sees room for meaningful gains ahead. They include, Dollarama (DOL.TO), a dominant Canadian retailer with strong private label margins and little competition; MercadoLibre (MELI), the fintech and e-commerce leader of Latin America; and Netflix (NFLX), where he sees upside in ad-supported tiers, international growth, and unmatched pricing power. Insightful and grounded, this episode is a must-watch for investors seeking clarity and conviction in today’s markets.Timestamps00:00 Show intro01:35 Amber speaks to Erin Allen of BMO Global Asset Management to discuss the ETF space05:25 Amber welcomes Stan Wong and asks if he’s ready to put tariff anxieties to bed07:00 What did Stan do during April’s volatility?08:45 Is the Canadian market more attractive to Stan or does he still favour the U.S.?10:30 How is Stan thinking about U.S. valuations?11:30 Stan’s view on the bond market14:15 Stan’s thoughts on Nvidia and why he holds it15:30 ITM Mailbag: Does Stan think Couche-Tard (ATB.TO) is a buy and hold?16:55 Stan’s thoughts on Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP.A.TO)18:40 Does Stan like Shopify (SHOP.TO)?20:40 Why Stan sold Costco (COST.NASDAQ) recently 24:15 Stan’s thoughts on Uber (UBER.NYSE)27:25 What does Stan think about Canadian Tire (CTC.A.TO)?29:35 Why Stan sold United Health before its big drop (UNH.NYSE)?33:20 What does sports fan Stan think about the Raptor’s chances next year?34:20 Stan Wong’s Pro Picks SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

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.Timestamps00:00 show intro03:10 Richard Fogler’s cool approach to investing05:40 What does it take to get into Richard’s portfolio?07:50 Fogler’s 50/50 approach to investing in the U.S. and Canada08:50 Why Richard doesn’t attempt to forecast11:00 How Richard chooses stocks as a value investor17:30 ITM Mailbag: Does Google (GOOG) have what it takes to compete in AI or will the search business be crushed?23:00 Richard’s thoughts on Canadian banks and TD after its money laundering scandal29:20 Richard’s thoughts on mining giants BHP & Rio Tinto (RIO)36:15 Why Richard thinks Walmart (WMT) is a great company but doesn’t own it 39:55 Richard on Costco (COST) vs. Amazon (AMZN)43:50 Richard Fogler’s Pro Picks SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

The Price of Admission: $50 Billion Manager Brent Joyce on Surviving Market Volatility
In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Brent Joyce, Chief Investment Strategist and Managing Director at BMO Private Investment Counsel, who oversees $50 billion in assets. They unpack the recent market volatility, driven largely by tariffs, and explore what investors need to know in a rapidly shifting macro landscape.Brent explains why sharp market corrections—like a 10% drop—are not only normal but the “price of admission” for equity investors. He draws insightful comparisons between today’s environment and past crises, making the case that what we’re experiencing now has more in common with COVID than with the dot-com bubble or the 2008 financial crisis. Rather than calling it American exceptionalism, Brent argues that it’s global business success simply headquartered in the U.S., and why that distinction matters.He also makes a strong case for Canadian equities, pointing to their global reach, attractive valuations, and solid dividends—arguing that Canada may be one of the most overlooked markets right now. On the fixed income side, Brent breaks down why bonds are still an essential part of a balanced portfolio, and he points out why the European market is one to watch but not get too carried away. Ultimately, Brent urges a defensive but steady approach: stay invested, stay diversified, and don’t let the noise knock you off course. If you want clarity, strategy, and perspective on where the markets might go next, this episode delivers.Timestamps00:00 Show intro01:20 Amber welcomes Brent Joyce 02:20 How did Brent know the market would rebound? 03:30 Why this time is more like the covid crash than the dot-com bubble or GFC 07:00 Why Brent believes in global exceptionalism not American exceptionalism09:00 Why Brent is still bullish on the U.S. market10:50 Is a recession on the horizon?13:15 Break: Amber speaks to the CEO of Raymond James Canada about how the company is helping clients navigate volatility and change15:35 Brent’s inflation expectations17:30 Is the Fed behind the curve?18:30 How will the trade war impact the Canadian economy?19:50 Pro Picks33:30 ETF Minute: CI’s new Solana ETFSponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

Dan Niles Warns of a 50% Market Drop | Don’t Get Fooled by the AI Hype
In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar top tech investor Dan Niles warns that the market could drop as much as 50%, just like during the dot-com bust and the global financial crisis. He unpacks the major risks that investors aren’t paying enough attention to like AI over exuberance and demand being pulled forward as a result of Trump’s trade war, while drawing parallels to some of the worst market crashes in history. Dan explains why his highest conviction idea right now is cash despite the AI hype, and why some of today’s biggest tech names — like Apple, Google, and Palantir — may be far more vulnerable than most investors realize. He stresses his concern over inflated valuations, making the point that “just because a stock is popular doesn’t mean it’s safe".One area Dan is optimistic about: networking infrastructure. He names Cisco as one of his most intriguing picks, arguing it's a forgotten name that could benefit as AI shifts from a build-out phase to a data movement phase. With a low valuation, solid fundamentals, and potential for a re-rating, Cisco — along with cash, Microsoft, and (cautiously) Nvidia — rounds out his list of favoured plays in a market he still views as overvalued and vulnerable.
Whether you’re a long-term investor or a market watcher trying to make sense of the rally, this is an essential deep dive from one of Wall Street’s most seasoned voices.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro3:40 Why Dan Niles is bearish right now and why cash is his highest conviction idea 07:40 What would it take for Dan to come back to the market and get out of cash? 09:35 Why Dan thinks a 50% drop in stocks is on the table11:30 Why this time can be compared to the dot-com bust17:33 Taking a look at the AARK Innovation Fund19:15 But could this time be different? 24:25 ITM Mailbag: Dan’s thoughts on Palantir (PLTR) and its sky-high valuation 27:40 Dan’s view on Shopify vs. Amazon (SHOP, AMZN)34:15 Is Reddit a buy, sell or hold?

Why This Portfolio Manager is Sitting on a Mountain of Cash

In a world where investors chase returns and FOMO dominates market behaviour, why is this seasoned money manager pumping the brakes?Mike unpacks the strategy behind his cash-heavy position, citing market froth, valuation risks, and a fundamental belief that cash is no longer "trash"—especially when it earns over 4% risk-free.
