End of an Era: Meb Faber on Buffett's Legacy and Your Portfolio's Biggest Risks
Are you making these critical mistakes in your portfolio? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, renowned investor and author Meb Faber breaks down what most investors get wrong—and what to do instead.Meb dives deep into the three investing pillars he believes will define the next era: global diversification, value investing, and trend following. He explains why most investors are overly concentrated in their home countries and why sticking to U.S. stocks may no longer be the smartest move—highlighting markets like Poland, Japan, and the UK.He also unpacks the power of shareholder yield—a blend of dividends and buybacks—and reveals why investors overlook this metric at their own risk. Learn how Meb uses it to find underpriced companies flush with cash.Plus, with news that Warren Buffett will step down from Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year, Meb refers to the legendary investor as “the GOAT” and uses his example to underscore how portfolio strategies—even from the greats—can appear simple on the surface, but often require a deeper understanding to replicate responsibly.In the Pro Picks segment, Meb tells us where he’s investing his own money right now, offering three of Cambria’s ETFs as top suggestions to end a fascinating interview: SYLD, GVAL and TRTY.Whether you're rethinking your global exposure, questioning the 60/40 model, or simply trying to invest smarter in uncertain times—this episode is a must-watch.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro01:20 How to trade with BMO InvestorLine03:15 Meb Faber’s origin story08:00 Meb on AI, big ideas and what’s coming next09:40 Meb’s approach to value investing12:45 How to construct a portfolio for long-term gains: Why diversification is key 16:00 A big problem for investors is ‘home country bias’17:15 Why trend following is key to portfolio construction, why investors need to be asset class agnostic and why market timing is actually possible23:10 Meb on Warren Buffett and what he taught us about investing27:50 Meb on Buffett’s strategy30:00 What Meb thinks about tariffs and why they aren’t the reason for the change in global flows36:10 Meb’s view on U.S. innovation and the future39:40 Break: Amber speaks to Raymond James Canada CEO Jamie Coulter about navigating volatile U.S.-Canada ties42:00 ITM Mailbag: Meb elaborates on the concept of a shareholder yield approach44:30 Meb’s views on the benefits of share buybacks to individual shareholders as opposed to institutional shareholders46:50 How Meb thinks about when to sell an investment 50:15 Meb’s Pro Picks1:03:50 Goodbye & coming upSponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

Healthcare Under Fire: RFK Jr., Tariffs, and Market Volatility
When markets are in turmoil, investors traditionally flock to healthcare for stability — but what happens when healthcare itself is a flashpoint for volatility? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar Robert Moffat of Middlefield joins to unpack the biggest headwinds facing the sector right now.From the controversial appointment of RFK Jr. to looming drug tariffs, Rob dives deep into the policy and market forces disrupting pharma, medtech, and healthcare services. He shares why he's staying defensive, what names he's avoiding (sorry, Pfizer holders), and where he's seeing opportunities amid the chaos. In a volatile healthcare market, Rob explains why he’s particularly positive on GLP-1 weight loss and diabetes medications which he says are reshaping the future of healthcare. He tells us why Eli Lilly, which makes Mounjaro and Zepbound, is his top holding and why he prefers it over Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk. He also suggests other names he likes right now including Abbott Laboratories and McKesson, which he says is the ultimate defensive safe haven company in healthcare.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro01:40 Rob’s approach to volatility in healthcare 03:10 RFK Jr. and his impact on the healthcare sector06:50 The headwind from tariffs13:00 Why Rob thinks M&A in the pharma space is definitely coming 14:50 ITM Mailbag: Rob’s outlook on Pfizer (PFE.NYSE)18:35 Rob’s thoughts on UnitedHealth Group (UNH.NYSE)22:00 Why Rob thinks CVS (CVS.NYSE) is one of the biggest ‘show me’ stories in healthcare 27:35 Rob’s thoughts on Medtronic (MDT.NYSE) and its dividend 30:35 Rob’s outlook on Stryker (SYK.NYSE)33:15 Rob’s view of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-NYSE) in light of tariffs35:30 Rob’s Pro Picks 47:30 Goodbye & coming up SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

Why the Best Fund Manager of 2022 is Betting on Gold, Water, and Infrastructure
The market may be laser-focused on Donald Trump’s trade war but James Davolos of Horizon Kinetics says tariffs or not, the tide is turning — and savvy investors should be paying attention. In this wide-ranging conversation, Davolos breaks down why we're leaving behind the "golden era" of ultra-low interest rates, globalization, and free capital, and entering a new investing regime marked by inflation, deglobalization, and resource scarcity. Davolos, who the WSJ named the best fund manager of 2022, outlines how to position your portfolio for long-term resilience, with a focus on capital-light businesses tied to real assets — think infrastructure, energy, and gold — but without the usual baggage of cyclicality and capex-heavy models. He explains his unique approach and offers specific stocks that fit into his model, including his top 3 stock picks focused on water as real asset, exchanges as financial infrastructure and royalty companies as resource winners.

What Liberation Day Means for Your Money
The world is undergoing a seismic shift, and according to Daniel Dreyfus, Chief Investment Officer at Bornite Capital, we are in the midst of a major regime change that will redefine economies, industries, and financial markets. In this conversation, Dan explains why a new era of tariffs will be massively inflationary and why buying infrastructure and critical commodities will be the best way to protect your money. He says commodities are set to benefit, and suggests the price of gold could go as high as $4000 per ounce. Dan explains how investors can position themselves before the market fully adjusts to this fundamental transformation and offers specific stocks to buy in order to get ahead, including names like Cheniere Energy, Talen Energy and Ivanhoe Mines. This isn’t just another market cycle—this is a massive structural change. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to find out how you can profit.
